Buttons don't move with SW_MAXIMIZE

[hfheatherfox07]

Hi,
I was wondering what command can I use to have the buttons move position relative to the window size when the window gets maximized?
also is there such command in the rsrc.rc with ReSED?

Thank you....

hi,
It is your job to move/size the controlls if wished.

hi,

Not aware of how to do that ....
I found http://win32assembly.online.fr/tut9.html

Code Select Expand

invoke CreateWindowEx,NULL, ADDR ButtonClassName,ADDR ButtonText,\
                        WS_CHILD or WS_VISIBLE or BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON,\
                        75,70,140,25,hWnd,ButtonID,hInstance,NULL
mov  hwndButton,eax

is this what you mean ? or is there another way ....
the reason that I am asking is that ...this example is a bare bones thing .... eventually I will be making a vista skin window with image buttons

MoveWindow, SetWindowPos come to mind...

Just had a thought .....

is there a way to move the controls relative to a fix potion , other wise would it not appear different on each computer screen? would I have to get system metrics first?

Here is my bare bones example

[dedndave]

WM_SIZE gives some info in wParam

wParam tells you if it's maximized or minimized - you really don't need that
although - no need to do anything if minimized   :P

then, GetWindowRect
subtract the widths to set the positions

[hfheatherfox07]

then, GetWindowRect
subtract the widths to set the positions

I am not sure I get that....what widths?

I found this   http://www.suite101.com/content/windows-gui-programming-resize-tip-a54796   is that what you mean?

[hfheatherfox07]

I found this ...I will have too look at it .... http://www.masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=12268.0

here - try this one.....

[qWord]

if you want to keep the proportions, you must store the the controls position as factors relative to the client ares size. This calculation can be done at initialization. If the window gets resized, you must recalculate and applie all positions and sizes.

I found another use for "WM_SIZE"

Code Select Expand

elseif uMsg == WM_SIZE
        invoke SendMessage,hToolBar,TB_AUTOSIZE,0,0
        invoke MoveWindow,hStatus,0,0,0,0,TRUE

from hutch's old page here : http://www.movsd.com/masm.htm

I am going to have to make up Project.inc when I get home tonight ( I have dbmacros.asm, errormac.asm )

thanks   :U....
curious ...how come you use ebx for the handle (hwnd) ?

[dedndave]

saves a few bytes, is all   :P
we use the handle 5 times
so, it saves ~5 bytes

Cool.... I will try that tonight on the round corners  version I have it working but with hWnd
That is something to keep in mind from now on

Thanks again
