by free2cric@yahoo.com » Wed, 22 Mar 2006 20:04:39 GMT

Hi,
My application is dialog based application in which I want my dialog
to be occupying whole desktop area except the taskbar portion.

But I am not getting the desired result. It just having size which was
at the time of resource editing.

I have implemented following method.

BOOL CDiaDlg::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
// TODO: Add your specialized code here and/or call the base class
RECT rc;
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETWORKAREA, 0, &rc, 0);
cs.cx=rc.right-rc.left;
cs.cy=rc.bottom-rc.top;
cs.x=rc.left;
cs.y=rc.top;
return CDialog::PreCreateWindow(cs);
}

Please help

How about calling ShowWindow(SW_MAXIMIZE) on your dialog before its
displayed?

PreCreateWindow will not be called for Modal Dialogs.
Get the systemparameters info in OnInitDialog and call MoveWindow

4. Edit box in a dialog box 

Hi,

    I am trying to create an edit box inside a dialog box during runtime, using
MFC. Mine is a single document/view application.

    The way I am trying to do, is as follows.

    In the OnInitDialog() function of my dialog box(CmyDialog::OnInitDialog()),
I declare a CEdit object and call its Create() function.

    BOOL CmyDialog::OnInitDialog()
    {

    CEdit myEdit;
    
    CDialog::OnInitDialog();

    myEdit.Create(ES_NUMBER | WS_OVERLAPPED | WS_VISIBLE, CRect(0,0,10,10),
		  this, 1);

    myEdit.ShowWindow(SW_SHOWNORMAL); 

    return TRUE;
    }

    I am expecting an edit box to appear in my Dialog box. But it is not. I 
also checked the return status of Create() and ShowWindow() calls. They are 
not zero.

    Can you please let me know what am I doing wrong? Is OnInitDialog() the 
right place to create dynamic controls? If so, is there anything extra I need
to do to make the edit box appear on the dialog box? If not, where should I be
creating the controls?

Thanks in advance,
Learner
