Of course it will work. Popup means that some app have popup appears on some state. Better for user-friendly desigh to have visible owner of such popup othercase popup can be under some other app and user will mo see it. Example - Google notifier which popup login dialog but sometimes under OutlookExpress window]]> Thu, 08 Jan 2009 16:31:07 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13091&PID=44329&title=loadposition-question#44329 <![CDATA[LoadPosition question : Overriding the LoadWindowPos()...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13091&PID=44327&title=loadposition-question#44327 Author: dennisV

Overriding the LoadWindowPos() seems to work (I pass in a bool specifying whether to hide the window or not). This is what I've got now:

BOOL CMyXTWindowPos::LoadWindowPos(bool bHide, CWnd* pWnd, LPCTSTR lpszWndPos/*=NULL*/, LPCTSTR lpszSection/*=NULL*/)
{
    ASSERT_VALID(pWnd); // must be valid.

    if (::IsWindow(pWnd->m_hWnd))
    {
        if (__super::LoadWindowPos(lpszWndPos, lpszSection))
        {
            if(bHide)
            {
                showCmd = SW_HIDE;
            }
            pWnd->SetWindowPlacement(this);
            return TRUE;
        }
    }

    return FALSE;
}


I didn't exactly understand what you mean about popups - can you please explain a bit more?

Thanks!

This is piece of SaveWindowPos function:
it always keep stored showCmd of WINDOWPLACEMENT as SW_SHOWNORMAL or SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED
 
// Make sure we don't pop up
// minimized the next time
if (showCmd != SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED)
{
showCmd = SW_SHOWNORMAL;
}
 
so in YOUR LoadWindowPos you can change showCmd before SetWindowPlacement call and it will be hidden or minimized as you with. Be careful with potential popups!

BOOL CXTWindowPos::LoadWindowPos(CWnd* pWnd, LPCTSTR lpszWndPos/*=NULL*/, LPCTSTR lpszSection/*=NULL*/)

{

ASSERT_VALID(pWnd); // must be valid.

if (::IsWindow(pWnd->m_hWnd))

{

if (LoadWindowPos(lpszWndPos, lpszSection))

{

pWnd->SetWindowPlacement(this);

return TRUE;

}

}

return FALSE;

}

You right - but you can overwrite this function and use
CWnd::SetWindowPos instead of CWnd::SetWindowPlacement
 
BOOL CXTWindowPos::LoadWindowPos(CWnd* pWnd, LPCTSTR lpszWndPos/*=NULL*/, LPCTSTR lpszSection/*=NULL*/)
{

ASSERT_VALID(pWnd); // must be valid.

if (::IsWindow(pWnd->m_hWnd))

{

if (LoadWindowPos(lpszWndPos, lpszSection))

{

pWnd->SetWindowPlacement(this);

return TRUE;

}

}

return FALSE;

}

Yes, I do have my window in the hidden state, but it becomes visible as soon as this is hit:

pWnd->SetWindowPlacement(this);

(inside the LoadWindowPos() function)

Oops, sorry - I meant LoadWindowPos(). This is how I have it:

bool CMainFrame::LoadPosition()
{
    bool bRet = m_wndPosition.LoadWindowPos(this,_T("mainFrame"));
    GetCommandBars()->RedrawCommandBars();

    return bRet;
}

Hi,

What is "LoadPosition" there is no such API and we don't have any class that has such method.

Hello all!

Is it possible to call LoadPosition, but for it not to actually display the main frame? The problem is that if I wish for the application to start minimized, I don't want to see the widow poping up and then getting minimized, but a call to LoadPosition from InitInstance does that. If I don't call LoadPosition, then the main window is not created properly (the CXTPTabClientWnd is not created it seems).

Thanks in advance!
