[win32] - how can get the text\image rect size from a control?
on my label i'm trying do the autosize:
Code:
void setAutoSize(bool autosize)
{
long s=0;
if (autosize==true)
{
char a[256];
GetWindowText(this->hwnd,a,256);
SIZE b;
HDC hdc = GetDC(hwnd);
HFONT hFont = (HFONT)SendMessage(hwnd, WM_GETFONT, 0, 0);
HFONT hOldFont = (HFONT)SelectObject(hdc, hFont);
GetTextExtentPoint32(hdc, a, strlen(a) ,&b);
SelectObject(hdc, hOldFont);
ReleaseDC(hwnd,hdc);
RECT c;
GetWindowRect(hwnd,&c);
c.bottom=b.cy;
c.right=b.cx+2;
LONG s=GetWindowLongPtr(hwnd,GWL_EXSTYLE);
LONG g=GetWindowLongPtr(hwnd,GWL_STYLE);
AdjustWindowRectEx (&c,g,FALSE,s );
SetWindowPos(hwnd, 0, 0, 0, c.right, c.bottom,
SWP_NOZORDER|SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_NOACTIVATE|
SWP_DRAWFRAME | SWP_FRAMECHANGED);
}
}
these code works fine, but if i use '\t' or '\n' with string(char*) these are ignored or considered 1 char.
so is there another way for get the HDC\bitmap\rect of the inside of the control correctly?

You may want to look at the DrawText function

Did zou read the DrawText documentation before asserting this? Or jasu looked into your crystal ball? :mad:

sorry, you have right.. sorry.
the DrawText() with DT_CALCRECT is only for give us the text rectangle and don't print\draw the text.
i did the code:
Code:
void setAutoSize(bool autosize)
{
if (autosize==true)
{
char a[256];
GetWindowText(this->hwnd,a,256);
RECT c = { 0, 0, 0, 0 };
DrawText(GetDC(hwnd), a, strlen(a), &c, DT_CALCRECT);
LONG s=GetWindowLongPtr(hwnd,GWL_EXSTYLE);
LONG g=GetWindowLongPtr(hwnd,GWL_STYLE);
AdjustWindowRectEx (&c,g,FALSE,s );
SetWindowPos(hwnd, 0, 0, 0, c.right+2, c.bottom+2,
SWP_NOZORDER|SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_NOACTIVATE|
SWP_DRAWFRAME | SWP_FRAMECHANGED);
}
}
but i see 2 problems:
1 - why the AdjustWindowRectEx() don't give me the right results with border?(it's way i add 2 pixels more);
2 - if the DrawText() is for formated text, why the '\t' count\lenght is ignored on width?(maybe these problem happens, too, with '\v')

What did you expect the length of \t to be?

on text, show me 5 spaces(i think is that). so it's the string lenght plus the tab spaces. but when i use the GetTextWindow(), maybe, don't gets the tab count :(
what you can tell me?

Why 5? Why not 6? or 3? or 1? or 10?
The point is that a /t has no specified length. A /t is whatever the program that uses it wants it to be. It could be 0 spaces, 1 space, 20 spaces, 100 spaces, or just a dot on the screen.
A tab is an invisible control character. Yes, it is used by some programs to denote "some space", but that is up to the program what it does with it.
I bet that the text control throws the tab away, thinking it is a junk character. If you want proof, attempt to read back the text in the control. Do you see a tab at the end? If you do, then the system interpreted the /t as 1 character.

in static text, the tab is showed... but why isn't counted with drawtext() function?

Did you read the DrawText() documentation?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=vs.85).aspx
What does it say about tabs?
This is one of many times you haven't read the documentation for various functions you're using -- please read the documentation, as it is important in getting any Windows API program to run properly. This means reading all of the various parameter information, what each parameter does, what the return values are, what you should return back to the OS if you process a message, etc.

sorry, you have right:
Code:
void setAutoSize(bool autosize)
{
if (autosize==true)
{
char a[256];
GetWindowText(this->hwnd,a,256);
RECT c = { 0, 0, 0, 0 };
DrawText(GetDC(hwnd), a, strlen(a), &c, DT_CALCRECT|DT_EXPANDTABS);
LONG s=GetWindowLongPtr(hwnd,GWL_EXSTYLE);
LONG g=GetWindowLongPtr(hwnd,GWL_STYLE);
AdjustWindowRectEx (&c,g,FALSE,s );
SetWindowPos(hwnd, 0, 0, 0, c.right+2, c.bottom+2,
SWP_NOZORDER|SWP_NOMOVE|SWP_NOACTIVATE|
SWP_DRAWFRAME | SWP_FRAMECHANGED);
}
}
now works fine.... thanks.
i use with DT_EXPANDTABS.
let me ask anotherthing: why, using the AdjustWindowRectEx() function, i must add 2 for show the strings correctly?
