If i derive CMyDialog from CExtResizableDialog, it doesn’t resize (as i want it to behave so), but the in the right bottom corner of the dialog there is a sign, which indicates, that thw window IS resizable. And the mouse pointer, hovering across the border tells the same thing. How can i fix it. The dialog needs to be NOT resizable.

ps. Maybe i need, to derive CMyDialog from a diferent class than CExtResizableDialog, or is there an easier way?

p.p.s. It’s really uncomfortable without a HELP. This quick reference, insted of HELP is just a "quick reference" :)

ShowSizeGrip(BOOL bShow)

Yes that’s right.
You should invoke the ShowSizeGrip(FALSE) method, which is provided by the CExtWS template class:

m_Dialog.ShowSizeGrip( FALSE );//do not show bottom-right gripper

The help on Prof-UIS is included into the Prof-UIS Trial, which you can download from our website. To make the work with Prof-UIS Freeware more convenient, we will include the help into the next version of Prof-UIS Freeware.

Strange, but

void CKeeperApp::OnAppAbout()

{

  CAboutDlg aboutDlg;

  aboutDlg.ShowSizeGrip(FALSE);

  aboutDlg.DoModal();

}

throws an exception in ShowSizeGrip :(

What’s going on?

Hello,

The cause of this assertion is that you try to invoke the ShowSizeGrip method when the dialog window is not created yet.

CAboutDlg aboutDlg;
aboutDlg.ShowSizeGrip(FALSE); // <-- dialog not created yet !!!
aboutDlg.DoModal();
