I'm writing an MFC dialog
with multiple controls. I have currently have a CWnd
that is placed on the right half of the dialog
. Upon clicking an edit button, the child CWnd
is resized to take up a larger portion of the dialog.
However, now when I try to resize the window, the child CWnd
jumps back to where it was originally. I cannot seem to figure out how to keep it in it's new position when resizing.
Relevant code:
OnInit() {
//the grouper rectangle
CRect rectHTMLGrouper;
m_grpHTMLbox.GetWindowRect(&rectHTMLGrouper);
ScreenToClient(&rectHTMLGrouper);
//the new rectangle to use for positioning
CRect rectHtml;
rectHtml.left = rectHTMLGrouper.left + PREVIEW_EDITOR_LEFT;
rectHtml.right = rectHTMLGrouper.right - PREVIEW_EDITOR_RIGHT;
rectHtml.top = rectHTMLGrouper.top + PREVIEW_EDITOR_TOP;
rectHtml.bottom = rectHTMLGrouper.bottom - PREVIEW_EDITOR_BOTTOM;
//this inits my editor and sets the position
m_wHtmlEditor.CreateHtmlEditor(rectHTMLGrouper, this, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CLIPCHILDREN);
//CodeJock - XTREMEToolkit Call for SetResize Logic
SetResize(m_wHtmlEditor.GetDlgCtrlID(), LEFT_PANE_RESIZE, 0, 1, 1);
m_wHtmlEditor.SetWindowPos(&CWnd::wndTop, 0, 0, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOACTIVATE | SWP_NOMOVE);
}
OnEditMode() {
//enlarge the editor to take up the full dialog
CRect parentClientRect;
m_wHtmlEditor.GetParent()->GetClientRect(&parentClientRect);
m_wHtmlEditor.SetWindowPos(&CWnd::wndTop, parentClientRect.left + edgePadding, parentClientRect.top + editorTopPadding, parentClientRect.right - (edgePadding * 2), parentClientRect.bottom - bottomPadding, SWP_NOOWNERZORDER);
return;
}
Upon clicking an edit button, the child CWnd is resized to take up a larger portion of the dialog.
You have to handle that same resize in your OnSize()
(ON_WM_SIZE()
) message handler (using some kind of BOOL member to keep track of the child window's status).
OnSize()
is called repeatedly while resizing the dialog.
Example:
// .h
BOOL m_bIsEditMode;
// .cpp
// keep track of m_bIsEditMode
void CMyDlg::OnSize(UINT nType, int cx, int cy)
{
CDialog::OnSize(nType, cx, cy);
if (m_bIsEditMode) {
//enlarge the editor to take up the full dialog
m_wHtmlEditor.MoveWindow (0, 0, cx, cy);
}
}
