just simple one, not important

Why this doesn't work?
public CMyTestView: class CView

BOOL CMyTestView::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
// TODO: Modify the Window class or styles here by modifying
// the CREATESTRUCT cs
cs.cy = 400;
cs.cx = 200;


return CView::PreCreateWindow(cs);
}

the windows is always big, witdh = 1000.( use mouse clikc to check position).
thanks

cx and cy are definitions of the position of the window. x and y is what you are really looking for.

are you sure

cx and cy are the width adn the height of the window, x and y is the position of the left top corner.

Correct.

Why are you trying to change initial size of the view?

Views are always created as child window of the frame. Of course you can create view as a top window but that is not reasonable.

After creation of a frame and view, frame resizes view to fit frame’s client area.

Instead try to adjust parent’s size.

Yeah, i was confused. it should be in CFrameWnd.
thanks.
Btway,
Is there anyway I can find out what is the resolution setting on the current screen?
thanks.

I think this is what you are after:

GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN)
GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN)

This will return: Width and height, in pixels, of the screen of the primary display monitor. These are the same values you obtain by callingGetDeviceCaps(hdcPrimaryMonitor, HORZRES/VERTRES).
