Don't know if anyone else has noticed this.

 

We've got a 2007 frame using a ribbon.  Pretty much copied out of examples.

 

If you try and grab the bottom of the frame to resize, the height you can grab is only 2px.  This makes it very difficult to drag the bottom of the frame.

 

 

 

inside App::InitInstance

 

 CMainFrame* pMainFrame = new CMainFrame();
 m_pMainWnd = pMainFrame;

 if (!pMainFrame->LoadFrame(IDR_MAINFRAME))
 {
  return FALSE;
 } // end if

 pMainFrame->ShowWindow(m_nCmdShow);
 pMainFrame->UpdateWindow();

 

then inside

 

int CMainFrame::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
{
 if (CFrameWnd::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
  return -1;

 if (!m_wndStatusBar.Create(this) ||
  !m_wndStatusBar.SetIndicators(indicators,
  sizeof(indicators)/sizeof(UINT)))
 {
  TRACE0("Failed to create status bar\n");
  return -1;      // fail to create
 }

 // Initialize the command bars
 if (!InitCommandBars())
  return -1;

 // Get a pointer to the command bars object.
 CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars();

 pCommandBars->SetTheme(xtpThemeRibbon);

 m_wndStatusBar.SetFont(pCommandBars->GetPaintManager()->GetIconFont());
 m_wndStatusBar.SetDrawDisabledText(FALSE);
 m_wndStatusBar.SetCommandBars(pCommandBars);
 m_wndStatusBar.GetStatusBarCtrl().SetMinHeight(22);
 m_wndStatusBar.GetPane(0)->SetMargins(8, 1, 2, 1);

 // Set "Always Show Full Menus" option to the FALSE
 CXTPToolTipContext* pToolTipContext = GetCommandBars()->GetToolTipContext();
 pToolTipContext->SetStyle(xtpToolTipOffice2007);
 pToolTipContext->ShowTitleAndDescription();
 pToolTipContext->SetMargin(CRect(2, 2, 2, 2));
 pToolTipContext->SetMaxTipWidth(180);
 pToolTipContext->SetFont(pCommandBars->GetPaintManager()->GetIconFont());

 pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->ShowKeyboardCues(xtpKeyboardCuesShowWindowsDefault);
 pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->bAlwaysShowFullMenus = TRUE;
 pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->bToolBarAccelTips = TRUE;
 pCommandBars->GetShortcutManager()->SetAccelerators(IDR_MAINFRAME);

 theApp.m_ActionAgent = new ActionAgent;

 CMenu menu;
 menu.Attach(::GetMenu(m_hWnd));
 SetMenu(NULL);

 CXTPRibbonBar* pRibbonBar = (CXTPRibbonBar*)pCommandBars->Add(_T("The Ribbon"), xtpBarTop, RUNTIME_CLASS(CXTPRibbonBar));
 pRibbonBar->EnableDocking(0);
 CXTPControlPopup* pControlFile = (CXTPControlPopup*)pRibbonBar->AddSystemButton(0);
 pControlFile->SetCommandBar(menu.GetSubMenu(0));

 nRibbonId = pRibbonBar->GetBarID();

 
 pRibbonBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcon(IDR_MAIN_0, IDR_MAIN_0, CSize(32, 32), xtpImageNormal);
 pRibbonBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcon(IDR_MAIN_1, IDR_MAIN_1, CSize(32, 32), xtpImageNormal);
 pRibbonBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcon(IDR_MAIN_2, IDR_MAIN_2, CSize(32, 32), xtpImageNormal);
 pRibbonBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcon(IDR_MAIN_3, IDR_MAIN_3, CSize(32, 32), xtpImageNormal);
 pRibbonBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcon(IDR_MAIN_4, IDR_MAIN_4, CSize(32, 32), xtpImageNormal);
 pRibbonBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcon(IDR_MAIN_5, IDR_MAIN_5, CSize(32, 32), xtpImageNormal);
 pRibbonBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcon(IDR_MAIN_6, IDR_MAIN_6, CSize(32, 32), xtpImageNormal);
 pRibbonBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcon(IDR_MAIN_7, IDR_MAIN_7, CSize(32, 32), xtpImageNormal);

 pRibbonBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcon(IDR_MAIN_9, IDR_MAIN_9, CSize(32, 32), xtpImageNormal);
 pRibbonBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcon(IDR_MAIN_10, IDR_MAIN_10, CSize(32, 32), xtpImageNormal);
 pRibbonBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcon(IDR_MAIN_11, IDR_MAIN_11, CSize(32, 32), xtpImageNormal);
 pRibbonBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcon(IDR_MAIN_12, IDR_MAIN_12, CSize(32, 32), xtpImageNormal);
 pRibbonBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcon(IDR_MAIN_13, IDR_MAIN_13, CSize(32, 32), xtpImageNormal);
 pRibbonBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcon(IDR_MAIN_14, IDR_MAIN_14, CSize(32, 32), xtpImageNormal);
 pRibbonBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcon(IDR_MAIN_15, IDR_MAIN_15, CSize(32, 32), xtpImageNormal);
 

 pRibbonBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcon(IDR_WARN_0, IDR_WARN_0, CSize(32, 32), xtpImageNormal);
 pRibbonBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcon(IDR_WARN_1, IDR_WARN_1, CSize(32, 32), xtpImageNormal);
 pRibbonBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcon(IDR_WARN_2, IDR_WARN_2, CSize(32, 32), xtpImageNormal);

 pRibbonBar->GetImageManager()->SetIcon(IDR_WARN_7, IDR_WARN_7, CSize(32, 32), xtpImageNormal);

 pRibbonBar->GetSystemButton()->SetIconId( IDR_MAIN_0, FALSE );

 pRibbonBar->GetQuickAccessControls()->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_GOONLINE);
 pRibbonBar->GetQuickAccessControls()->Add(xtpControlButton, ID_GOOFFLINE);
 pRibbonBar->GetQuickAccessControls()->CreateOriginalControls();
 pRibbonBar->EnableFrameTheme();

 PostMessage(WM_SYSCOLORCHANGE);

 ::PostMessage(m_hWnd, WM_COMMAND, ID_GOONLINE, 0);

 return 0;
} // end OnCreate

 

 

Actually it does the same thing in the ribbon sample.

 

I get a 1 or 2px window of opportunity to resize the frame from the bottom edge.

 

yes, its true.

 

On all other edges you can easily resize, but on the bottom edge, it's very difficult.

 

Any chance you could post the code that fixes it please?  We are close to a release, and need to fix this.

 

Thanks
