A lot of times when I see a control get resized much smaller than I would think it has to do with the scaling.  You may expect twips and are using pixels instead and vice-versa.  Not sure that is the problem, but it has happened to me a number of times in the past.  Getting them on the same scaling usually solved the issue.]]> Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:10:38 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15052&PID=54602&title=solvedresize-event-and-getclientrec-fails#54602 <![CDATA[[SOLVED]Resize event and GetClientRec fails : I have similar question: In my...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15052&PID=53315&title=solvedresize-event-and-getclientrec-fails#53315 Author: tobi

I have similar question: In my VB6 app I have a textbox in a docking pane and want to "manually" resize it because I want a little more borders !
So I use this code in the CommandBars_Resize event handler:

Dim Left As Long, Top As Long, Right As Long, Bottom As Long

CommandBars.GetClientRect Left, Top, Right, Bottom
Text1.Move Left, Top, Right - Left, Bottom - Top

DockingPane.GetClientRect Left, Top, Right, Bottom
Text2.Move Left + 5, Top + 5, Right - Left, Bottom - Top

The first Textbox which should cover mainform works right, but the Text2 control, which should fill the docking pane
does not - it is sized to a much smaller size than the docking pane area !?!?!?!

Btw. I created the docking pane by directly attaching Text2.hwnd which is placed on the mainform ! Is this best practice
or should I use a PictureBox where the textbox is placed in ?

        private void cjCommandBars_ResizeEvent(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            int left, top, right, bottom;           
            cjCommandBars.GetClientRect(out left, out top, out right, out bottom);
           
            userControl.SetBounds(left, top, right - left, bottom - top);
        }
 
It's interesting that the resize event of the commandbar reacts to the resizing of panes in the dockingpane, because in this case the size of the commandbar isn't changed.

Hi,
 
if you have both COmmandBars and DockingPane you need handle only CommandBars_ResizeEvent.

In a form I'm using a ribbonbar and a dockingpane. In the client area should be placed a usercontrol.

The dockingpane is associated with the commandar with the following code:
cjDockingPaneManager.SetCommandBars(this.cjCommandBars.GetDispatch());

The resizing of the usercontrol in the client area sholud be done with:

        private void cjDockingPaneManager_ResizeEvent(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            int left, top, right, bottom;
            cjDockingPaneManager.GetClientRect(out left, out top, out right, out bottom);
            userControl.SetBounds(left, top , right - left, bottom - top);
        }

But the resize event occurs only once at the program start and the second thing is that the values from the GetClientRect method delivers wrong values (left and top = 0, right and bottom are the values from this.ClientSize).

I have tried to resize the client usercontrol in an other resize event (form, commandbar). But the GetClientRect method delivers always wrong values. I have also tried to use a richtextbox instead of the usercontrol, but the result is the same.

It seems that the GetClientRect method only work correct if no commandbar is present.

Is there a way to solve this behavior?
