To Mark Doubson: ReportHeader + column resizing

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

Mark, there is a method CXTPDockingPaneManager::UseSplitterTracker(BOOL bSplitterTracker). 
It sets the flag for display the contents for child pane while the splitter is resized.

I would like to ask you to add the same functionality to CXTPReportHeader for column resizing. 
The code would be pretty simple and I can do it by myself, but it would be great to have this feature out of the box.

Thank you.

	OK - I will consider this feature. Is is something similar to Spitter Keyboard support (MFC - CSplitterWnd::DoKeyboardSplit)? Give me more details please as DockingPaneManagent is not my component

	Sorry for the delay, here is the video (.avi): 1) current implementation: uploads/20090813_134803_1.rar 2) the feature I am talking about uploads/20090813_135213_2.rar Thank you

	This both video show standard mouse-base behaviour - so useless (don't see diffs between avi1 and avi2 - except draw during resizing - in second case). I like to know - are you want pure keyboard UI? How you will select column and this column border? Or you will use mouse to select column border (where cursor switch to <> arrows) and now want to use keyboard Left - Right arrow to resize column?

	Looks like I understand - you don't care about keyboard at all - just want something like this: CPoint ptOffset = CPoint(rc.left - point.x, 0) ; SetCapture(); while (CWnd::GetCapture() == this) { MSG msg; while (::PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, WM_PAINT, WM_PAINT, PM_NOREMOVE)) { if (!GetMessage(&msg, NULL, WM_PAINT, WM_PAINT)) return; DispatchMessage(&msg); } if (!GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0)) break; if (msg.message == WM_MOUSEMOVE) { point = CPoint(msg.lParam); ClientToScreen(&point); point += ptOffset; point.x = max(min(point.x, rcAvail.right), rcAvail.left); point.y = max(min(point.y, rcAvail.bottom), rcAvail.top); if (!m_bHorizSplitting) { if (rc.left == point.x) continue; rc.OffsetRect(point.x - rc.left, 0); } else { if (rc.top == point.y) continue; rc.OffsetRect(0, point.y - rc.top); } REDRAW REPORT } else if (msg.message == WM_KEYDOWN && msg.wParam == VK_ESCAPE) break; else if (msg.message == WM_LBUTTONUP) break; else ::DispatchMessage(&msg); } if (CWnd::GetCapture() == this) ReleaseCapture(); You can use it in your derived ReportHeader class

	Exactly, I want draw during resizing feature. I have implemented it in my code, but it would be nice to have this feature in Report Control Anyway, thank you.

	No - it costly. Windows Explorer, Outlook and most other efficient program does not use this with purpose
