Problem with CXTResize

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

   XTP 12.0.1
We have made an ActiveX control in which a child dialog is being shown. If we put it inside dialog X, we can resize it using MoveWindow() without any problems. However, with SetResize() the window behaves weirdly.

CXTResizeDialog::OnInitDialog();

SetResize(IDC_OCX_LIST, SZ_TOP_LEFT, SZ_BOTTOM_RIGHT);

When our dialog X is resized, the contents of our ActiveX control is indeed resized, but not the window itself! The rectangle keeps its original size, from the dialog template.

Could this be a bug in CXTResize?

	Hi, It can be problem of DeferWindowPos that we use instead of MoveWindow. :-( You can manually resize it.

	That's what I thought. I'm not very in to this API, but I suppose it's better for this purpose. Looks like this API is troublesome. http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2005/07/06/436043.aspx Still, it optimizes the repositioning :P Here's another post where somebody is experiencing the same problem: http://www.google.se/search?hl=sv&q=%22DeferWindowPos+for+MFC+wrappered+ActiveX+control%22&meta
