Scroll Bars on FormView initialization

[Rob W.]

I'm adding controls dynamically into a formview SDI. When i add a control (during runtime) with a CRect that's outside of the window frame, it is drawn, but no scrollbar is present. In order to see it you have to resize the frame to make the CRect visible. I'm creating these controls in the CSDIView class within the OnDraw() method. Is there another method that i can create the controls in in order for it to recognize the position of the out of view control and make the scrollbar? Or is there a way to manually create the scrollbar and have it scroll the formview to make the control visible? Any help would be great.

I'm not sure if it works, but I'd suggest to invoke "wndFormView->UpdateWindow()" after inserting any new controls. Maybe this doesn't help. In this case you can force the form view to recalculate the need for scrollbars by simply resizing it: (wndSDIFrame->GetWindowRect() and wndSDIFrame->MoveWindow()). You do not really need to give it another size and position - just hand over the current position and size that you received from GetWindowRect() to MoveWindow() unchanged.
