variable size of Dialogs
Posted: Tue Nov 04, 2008 09:16 AM

Hi,

is there a possibility to change the size of dialogs? For example, I use following code for a dialog in my rc-file:

Code: Select all Collapse

WG_AUSWERT DIALOG LOADONCALL MOVEABLE DISCARDABLE 75, 53, 108, 103
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "Auswertungs-Währung"
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
{
 DEFPUSHBUTTON "&OK", 111, 3, 85, 50, 14
 PUSHBUTTON "&Abbruch", 110, 55, 85, 50, 14
 COMBOBOX 121, 53, 4, 49, 84, CBS_DROPDOWNLIST | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP
 LTEXT "Bitte wählen Sie die Währung, die Sie für Ihre Auswertungen (Statistiken, Preisliste) benutzen wollen.", -1, 6, 22, 96, 56
 LTEXT "Währung", -1, 5, 6, 44, 8
}

if I change from FONT 8 to FONT 10, the dialog size automatically increases.
However, when I let the font at 8, define this dialog in source code and use the method oDlg:Setfont(oFont) with a bigger size, for example 10, the dialog size doesn't adjust. Is there a possibility to influence the size of dialogs from source code? I'd like to offer our customers an easy adjustment of dialog sizes...

Resize Dialog

Hello Gilbert,

You can resize a dialog from resources :

Sample :

Code: Select all Collapse

// Move and resize

ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTERED ;
ON PAINT ( gradpaint0( hDC, oDlg ), SetDialogsGradient( oFld ) ) ;
ON INIT ( oDlg:Move( 30 , 10, 100, 50, .f. ) )
OR
*oDlg:SetSize( nWidth, nHeight, lRepaint ) 

// Move with same dimensions

*ON INIT ( oDlg:Move( 30 , 10, oDlg:nWidth, oDlg:nHeight, .f. ) )

The dialog is resized, but not the objects !!!
I have seen in some app's a zoom-effect, it means,
all objects are resized to the new dialog-dimension.
With FWH I think, it is not possible.

Gilbert,

You could load the dialogbox resource info into memory, change its font data into it, and create the dialogbox from the modified resource, so it will automatically resize its dimensions and controls sizes.

Please review the use of cResData in FWH\samples\RE.prg

You can load the resource into memory using FindResource() and LoadResource()

regards, saludos
