Board index » Visual Studio » Working with CStatic!

Visual Studio211
Hello,

I have a dialog based application and i have 4 square "frames"

symetrically filling the client area of the main dialog box .



Each frame is meant to receive picture from a camera. I have added 4 CStatic

member

objects to the dialog class to be able to dynamically act on the frames.



My objecs are :

CStatic m_frame1,m_frame_2 ,m_frame3, m_frame4;



The ressource IDs are appropriately connected to the respectives

CStatics objecs DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_STATIC1, m_frame1); and

so one....



I want to dynamically control the postions of the frame. so i did:

CRect rect , temp_rect;

::GetClientRect(this->m_hWnd ,&rect);





//Display "window1" on the left up corner .

temp_rect.top=rect.top+5;

temp_rect.left=(rect.left/2)-5;

temp_rect.bottom=(rect.bottom/2)- 5;





m_frame1.MoveWindow(&temp_rect,true);

m_frame1.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);







IM THEN EXPECTING TO SEE MY FIRST

FRAME IN THE LEFT UPPER CORNER OF

THE DIALOG BOX.

BUT NOTHING IS DISPLAYED THERE.



CAN SOMEONE HELP ME FIND OUT WHAT

I'M DOING WRONG?

I'm doing this on the OnPaint(... event

Initialize your temp rect with ::GetClientRect(m_frame1.m_hWnd

,&temp_rect);



try following:



CRect rect , temp_rect;

::GetClientRect(this->m_hWnd ,&rect);

::GetClientRect(m_frame1.m_hWnd ,&temp_rect); //Insert this line



//Display "window1" on the left up corner .

temp_rect.top=rect.top+5;

temp_rect.left=(rect.left/2)-5;

temp_rect.bottom=(rect.bottom/2)- 5;





m_frame1.MoveWindow(&temp_rect,true);

m_frame1.ShowWindow(SW_SHOW);

(1) Don't do this in OnPaint(). Moving a child in OnPaint will cause

another OnPaint(). You can reposition controls in OnInitDialog, or in

OnSize if the dialog is resizeable.

(2) temp_rect.right is uninitialized == garbage

(3) rect.left is 0 by definition. Why are you dividing this by 2 and

subtracting 5?

(4) No purpose is served by calling the GetClientRect API instead of the

member function. Ugly!

Move your code to OnInitDialog
