Currently I'm repositioning dialog controls when the dialog is resized like this:
// Get the list control rect.
CRect listRect;
list->GetWindowRect(&listRect);
ScreenToClient(listRect);
// Get the dialog Rect.
CRect dialogRect;
GetWindowRect(&dialogRect);
ScreenToClient(dialogRect);
list->MoveWindow(listRect.left, listRect.top,
dialogRect.right - (2 * listRect.left), dialogRect.bottom - 100);
This works great in Windows XP, but when I tried in Windows Vista the positioning was off. I think this must be down to larger dialog borders and captions in Windows Vista dialogs, and the fact that GetWindowRect
has the following entry in the documentation:
The dimensions are given in screen coordinates relative to the upper-left corner of the display screen. The dimensions of the caption, border, and scroll bars, if present, are included.
So my question is, how do I reposition dialog controls when resizing a dialog so that they are consistent between operating systems? Thanks
