Window Size & Position

Mark Parr -- markp@e9.com

I added the following to my CMainFrame::OnCreate()

     SetWindowPos(&wndTop, 1, 1, 100, 300, SWP_DRAWFRAME);			

and determined that it sets my window size.  However, it does not appear
to take into accout the borders, title, menu, & status bars.  I really
need my view window to 100/300.  Is there anyway to take the other sizes
into account and adding them in or is there another way to set the window
size that will let me set my view window to 100/300.

Thanks,
Mark

Yes. Call GetSystemMetrics to get the size of each these items and add them
accordingly. For example, to get the extra space for a normal dialog do:

xExtra = GetSystemMetrics( SM_CXDLGFRAME ) * 2;

// get size of the title bar
yExtra = GetSystemMetrics( SM_CYCAPTION );
// add the size of the borders
yExtra += GetSystemMetrics( SM_CYDLGFRAME ) * 2;

GetSystemMetrics() will return the CX and CY size of all the
items you want, except for the status bar.  The status bar
is a window, of course, so you can get it's size by calling
CStatusBar::GetWindowRect() on it and using the resulting
CRect's Height() and Width() methods.

How about CWnd::CalcWindowRect(LPRECT lpClientRect, UINT nAdjustType)

I hope this helps.

Trung Dang.

If you have any toolbars or a statusbar, you can call GetWindowRect for each
window and that will return the screen coordinates for the windows from which
you can determine the size.  You can use the API GetSystemMetrics() call to
get the default Scroll bar height and width, title bar height, etc..

Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Uh, I think so, Brain, but this time, you wear the tutu.
