Re: how to move a control

I personally like to use CRectTracker. Even though it was intended for OLE controls it can be used for just about anything. Granted, you have to use MoveWindow somewhere in your logic to actually move the window but CRectTracker gives you visible border options, hit testing, and handles so it saves you some time in development.

Take a look at the MSDN samples TRACKER (simple) and DRAWCLI (a more complex object-oriented 2D drawing application).

Attached here is a very simple example that shows how to use CRectTracker to allow user to move/resize a button at run-time.

very nice sample! Easy and simple.. I couldn't imagine it would be so simple!
Only it has one problem: what happens if you move the button outside???
well, I guess limiting the track to a RECT area would be very helpfull!
If you know how to do this, pls, pls help!!! :confused: :sick:
