Problem resizing control in dialog!

[jasinto]

Hi Gurus!
I've a very weird problem! I want to resize a picture control inside a dialog. I designed the dialog including its controls.
In the program I wrote the following lines:

// Get window size
CRect rect;
m_preview.GetWindowRect(&rect);
m_preview.MoveWindow(&rect);

It should show the control exactly the same as I placed it inside the dialog.....but it moves the picture control a few pixels down.
Any ideas why is this happening?
Thanks!

Run thru debugger for actual values of the RECT and also read up documentation on MSDN. You'll figure out whats happening..

You should convert the rectangle from the screen to the client coordinates of the dialog before you call MoveWindow function.

CRect rect;
m_preview.GetWindowRect(&rect);
this->ScreenToClient(rect);
m_preview.MoveWindow(&rect);
// where this is a pointer to your dialog box

// where this is a pointer to your dialog box
[/code]

this is absolutely unnecessary.

this is absolutely unnecessary.

I know it. I only wanted to point that the code shuld be placed in the dialog box class.
