Resizable Dialogs and Forms

Layout managers are responsible for automatic reposition of controls hosted in a window for which layout management is enabled.You can enable layout management for the following objects:

  • dialogs
  • dialog bars
  • property sheets
  • form views

 

A class, for which layout management is enabled, is called "host window". Its child controls are anchored to its edges. You can also specify a distance between controls and edges, and "move type", which defines how a child control is repositioned when its host is resized.
Dialog in initial state:
Dialog after resizing:
Sample code:
CMyDialog::CMyDialog()
{
    // Enable controls layout:
    EnableLayout();
}

BOOL CMyDialog::OnInitDialog() 
{
    CBCGPDialog::OnInitDialog();
    
    CBCGPStaticLayout* pLayout = (CBCGPStaticLayout*)GetLayout();
    if (pLayout != NULL)
    {
        // Add controls to layout:
        pLayout->AddAnchor(IDOK, CBCGPStaticLayout::e_MoveTypeBoth, CBCGPStaticLayout::e_SizeTypeNone);
        pLayout->AddAnchor(IDCANCEL, CBCGPStaticLayout::e_MoveTypeBoth, CBCGPStaticLayout::e_SizeTypeNone);
        pLayout->AddAnchor(IDC_EDITBOX, CBCGPStaticLayout::e_MoveTypeNone, CBCGPStaticLayout::e_SizeTypeBoth);
    }
    
    return TRUE;
}
