Problems with SavePlacement/LoadPlacement

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm using SavePlacement and LoadPlacement to save (and load) the window placements and I have two problems.

1) hidden windows become visible when I do LoadPlacement, but that's easy to handle (just hide them again after LoadPlacement)
2) the main menu has a menu bar and it seem the size of the window is saved including the height of the menu, but then it's loaded and then extra space is added for the menu even if it already has the space. Very annoying.

	Ok, I solved it by doing CRect rectOldWin; CRect rectNewWin; GetWindowRect(rectOldWin); LoadPlacement(_T("MyWin")); GetWindowRect(rectNewWin); rectNewWin.bottom = rectNewWin.top + rectOldWin.Height(); rectNewWin.right = rectNewWin.left + rectOldWin.Width(); MoveWindow(rectNewWin, true);
