Board index » Visual Studio » How to resize a dialog with out having border

Visual Studio186
Hi All,



I created a dialog based application in MFC.I would like to resize the

dialog during runtime,so i have changed the dialog border style to

"Resize".After this,the dialog is having border aound this.But i don't

want want this border.



Is there anyway to resize the dialog without having border?

Please help me on this problem..



Thanks in advance,

Muthu.

First off, are we to understand that you want the dialog to be able to be

resized using the mouse and not from code? If from code, you can simply

resize the dialog box using something like SetWindowPos.



If you want it to be resized via the mouse, why not have a border? The

border provides a visual clue, particular for people who are familiar with

Windows, that the window can be resized. It also provides a resizing area

for the mouse. I think it's bad design to add non-standard things like this

to the user interface.



Finally, if this is really what you want to do regardless of if it may

confuse the users, you can code it yourself. You'll need to decide the area

where the mouse can resize the window and determine when the mouse goes down

in this area. You may very well need to then track mouse movement yourself

(use SetCapture) and resize the window via code as the mouse is moved;

however, it seems like there may be an API for tracking this for you once

the initial mouse down but I can't recall for sure or what the name would

be.

You can do this programmatically (if thats what you want) using

SetWindowPos.
