Hello,
Made a dialog.
when viewing the code using the *.rc option it shows:
IDD_MAIN_DIALOG DIALOGEX 0, 0, 332, 218
when running the program, and using the
pWnd->GetWindowRect(&rcMain);
the values are:
top: 334
bottom: 716
left: 588
right: 1092
do I need to use some kind of a constant, or something like that?
(Dialog centre option ON, screen res: 1680 x 1050)
regards,
ger
The resource editor measures in "twips".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twip
The resource file does not contain absolute coordinates (which would not make much sense). Thus, the top/left for a dialog is 0/0. You can specifically control where it is being displayed by using functions such as 'CenterWindow()' or 'SetWindowPlacement()' and so on....
What for?Quote:

top + bottom = 334 + 716 = 1050
left + right = 588 + 1092 = 1680
Your dialog is centered alright. What else is needed?

In case you do that at runtime, you need to MapDialogRect.Quote:

Oke thanks,
Now;
when I have a bitmap image and I want to use it for a button.
the sizes also do not match
the bitmap image is 77 x 25
making a button of that size is not fully correct.

Hi,
Was screeming to soon...
have to use SizeToContent(), to make the button the same as the image.
(image is the master, button is slave, correct?)
and,
Now I want to make the dialog which hosts this button, the same dimensions as
the button has. (Yep, it is a very small 1 button dialog)
is that possible?
