    Posted: 24 February 2011 at 4:31am
Hi;

I created a CXTPResizeDialog derived class containing a CMarkupStatic control on top and immediately below the CMarkupStatic control a CXTPReportControl class.
Whenever the dialog is resized the content of the CMarkupStatic is partly invisible.
How can I ensure, that the size of the control is always big enough to show the whole content and how do I know the new position of the report control?

Here's a picture of what I mean:



Any help is very welcome...

Hello;

No solution for this? I can't believe it.

Well, if you just places controls on a Dialog or Form there is no build-in automatic moving and resizing of the individual controls, and Dialog and Form sizes etc.
 
If you want to have control, you can read the size of the Markup context object and then manually move your Report control up or down accordingly.
 
That is at least the way I do it.

But how can I read the size of the Markup content. That's what I was looking for...

I use code like this:
 
 if (m_ctrl.GetSafeHwnd())
 {
   if (m_ctrl.GetUIElement())
   {
     CDC* pDC = m_ctrl.GetDC();
     if (pDC)
     {
        CSize sizeAvailable(rc.Width(),rc.Height());
        CXTPMarkupDrawingContext dc(pDC->m_hDC);
        m_ctrl.GetUIElement()->Measure(&dc,sizeAvailable);
        CSize sizeDesired = m_ctrl.GetUIElement()->GetDesiredSize();
        m_ctrl.ReleaseDC(pDC);
        m_nHeight = sizeDesired.cy;
     }
   }
   m_ctrl.SetWindowPos(NULL,0,rc.Height()-m_nHeight,rc.Width(),m_nHeight,SWP_NOZORDER);
 }
I don't know if the code is optimal, but it works Smile

Hi;

I included the suggested code into my OnSize() message handler. But now the report control flickers while resizing. What can I do to prevent this?

Here's the code of my OnSize handler:
void CArticleParameterDlg::OnSize( UINT nType, int cx, int cy )
{
    CXTPResizeDialog::OnSize(nType, cx, cy);

    if (Static_.GetSafeHwnd() && Static_.GetUIElement()) {
        CDC* pDC = Static_.GetDC();
        if (pDC)
        {
            CXTPWindowRect rc(&Static_);
            CSize sizeAvailable(rc.Width(), cy);
            CXTPMarkupDrawingContext dc(pDC->m_hDC);
            Static_.GetUIElement()->Measure(&dc,sizeAvailable);
            CSize sizeDesired = Static_.GetUIElement()->GetDesiredSize();
            Static_.ReleaseDC(pDC);
            rc.bottom=rc.top+sizeAvailable.cy;

            int top=rc.top;
            ScreenToClient(&rc);
            Static_.MoveWindow(rc, FALSE);

            if (Report_.GetSafeHwnd()) {
                CXTPWindowRect rcReport(&Report_);
                rcReport.top=top+sizeDesired.cy+10;
                ScreenToClient(&rcReport);
                Report_.MoveWindow(rcReport, FALSE);
            }
        }
    }

}

You probable need to play with the WS_CLIPCHILDREN and WS_CLIPSIBLINGS styles on your Dialog or Form and control.
 
And if owner draw, then remember to return correctly in the OnEraseBkgnd(CDC* pDC) method.

Hi;

I think it's because of using a CXTPResizeDialog. The CLIP* styles are all set as expected. When I remove my additional code from OnSize() the flicker goes away.
Perhaps Oleg has an idea how to integrate this resize into the CXTPResize() concept.

Nevertheless, thanks for your help.

Hi,
if you manually position controls, just don't use CXTPResize
