Has the ActiveX control been registered? Have you tried removing any newly-added code until the problem goes away?

I am having a bit of an odd problem that I can't figure out.
I am designing a dialog with a width of 500 pixels.
My screen resolution width is 1680.
So, logically, I would assume that the dialog would take up under one third of the window width.
However, the dialog actually takes up half. I don't suppose anyone has any idea why this is.
The only thing I can think of was something similar back in my beginning days of Windows programming with VB 4.0 and the GUI designer used to use something called "twips" (or something) for measurements. Is the problem I'm having similar, or does VS have some sort of scaling setting I'm not aware of?
Thanks

have you changed the dialog font?? from properties.
|
|
|
|
|
Why would I change the font? Does the dialog size scale based on the font size selected?
|
|
|
|
|
yes i had faced similar problem when i increased the dialog font size from properties.
|
|
|
|
|
and BTW the 500 width you saw was it in Resource editor??
If yes i dont think it is in pixels like your screen resolution.
Do GetWindowRect() to get the dialog width in pixels.

I see. I assume there is no way to diable this feature?
If not, I'll have to code the dialog manually (which I'd rather not do).
Changing the font is not really an option as it would have to be changed in a large number of places, for consistency. Something I don't have time for.
Is this problem a VS resource editor problem (feature?), or an issue with dialogs in Windows itself?

Dialog's are measured in DLUs.

Screen resolution is measured in pixels. It's really a bad idea to design dialogs in terms of pixels. Screen resolution will vary from machine to machine, and any attempt to think about pixels at design time is doomed to failure. Don't even worry about it. If you need something sized in pixels to a specific size, you have to do it at runtime.

typedef UINT (CALLBACK* LPFNDLLFUNC1)(DWORD,UINT);
...
LPFNDLLFUNC1 lpfnDllFunc1; // Function pointer
The above declaration seems confusing and any easy way to declare func. ptrs.

I thought typedef is supposed to be easy way to declare function ptrs.  
|
|
|
|

LPFNDLLFUNC1 lpfnDllFunc1;
is alternative to
UINT (CALLBACK* lpfnDllFunc1)(DWORD,UINT);
Which one does look simpler?

I think maybe he was looking for something simpler, like:
typedef UINT (CALLBACK* X)(DWORD,UINT);
...
X y;

or something more managed, like
delegate int X (int, int);
...
X x;

Hi,
How can I maximize the dialog box?
|
|
|
|
|
call ShowWindow(SW_MAXIMIZED)
|
|
|

The final D is a common mistake (I did it often).

use ShowWindow[^] with nCmdShow equal to SW_MAXIMIZE.

If you want to maximized dialog you must also set postion and size of other controls that you can use of WM_SIZE.

Dear gurus,
I have the following question.
I heard/read somewhere that it does not make sense to check for a zero-pointer if operator new is used, as
int *p = 0;
p = new int [5];
if ( 0==p ) { ..some action here.. }
It also is allowed to use operator delete even on zero-pointers. ...and more such issues.....
Can somebody give me a short link to a good document on such topics?
Thank you very much

Another question:
If I want to use the no-throw-Version:
T *pt = new (std :: nothrow) T();
What happens if allocation fails? Can I test 'pt' for 0 then?
Or does pt have any undefined value?
