Information on .RC Files
Posted: Tue Feb 24, 2009 08:06 PM

Antonio,

The positions of screen and size of the controls are where unit?

Why
CONTROL "&Ok", 102, "Button", WS_TABSTOP, 327, 217, 55, 18
and
@ 217,327 BUTTON "&Ok" SIZE 55,18 PIXEL

They generate different controls completely? Exists some resource that has adjusted the values of files .RC for values in pixels?

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

SAL120F DIALOG FIXED IMPURE 15, 21, 385, 259
STYLE WS_POPUP|WS_THICKFRAME|WS_CAPTION|WS_SYSMENU|WS_VISIBLE
CAPTION "DIALOG_1"
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
BEGIN
  CONTROL "", 101, "SysTabControl32", WS_TABSTOP, 1, 2, 324, 252
  CONTROL "&Ok", 102, "Button", WS_TABSTOP, 327, 217, 55, 18
  CONTROL "    &Cancela", 103, "Button", WS_TABSTOP, 327, 236, 55, 18
END

Vilian,

Windows API uses "logical units" for dialogboxes, and "pixels" for windows, thats why you get that dimensions difference.

You can read about "logical units" here:

Antonio,

Thanks the information. I made thus:

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

 //CONTROL "&Ok", 102, "Button", WS_TABSTOP, 327, 217, 55, 18
 nLeft =  ( 217 * GetDialogBaseUnits()[ 1 ] ) / 4  
 nTop = ( 327 * GetDialogBaseUnits()[ 2 ] ) / 8  

@ nTop,nLeft  BUTTON "&Ok" SIZE 55,18 PIXEL

But it continues showing different of the definite one in the RC. What I am making made a mistake?

Try to size the controls during ON INIT event.

is the dialog itself also using "logical units" (when it is created with define dialog .. from .. to ..) or only the controls inside the dialog ?

kind regards

Enrico,

Already I made in ON INIT, but the problem persists.

I believe that the problem is in the conversion of the positions. The values generated in the calculation to follow are minors who the values of .RC file.

nLeft = ( 217 * GetDialogBaseUnits()[ 1 ] ) / 4
nTop = ( 327 * GetDialogBaseUnits()[ 2 ] ) / 8

GetDialogBaseUnits() is returning 2 in the two positions. The equation is this same?

We have never been able to find the right conversion
