Hi

I have a dialog with many controls, it is actually a data entry dialog.

I will include it in a CExtcontrolBar

I arrange the controls either vertically or horizontally depending on the CExtcontrolBar position(bottom/top horizontally,Left/Right Vertically).

I wonder if it is better to use a CFormView to get the ScrollBars in case the Panel is too small to fit all controls.

I am not using CextResizableDialog since i do no need to resize controls but to change their position.

 

regards

Our point of view is, if you have ten input editors, the property grid control would be more convenient. You should have some strong reasons to use the form view like ActiveX controls in it (a chart control, a media player control etc.). Of course, it is possible to use the form view inside the resizable control bar and Prof-UIS even features the CExtAFV template class adaptor which helps to make the background of the form view window painted like you see in CExtResizableDialog windows. You can use it in your form view classes:

class CChildView 
    : public CExtWS < CExtAFV < CFormView > >
{
    . . .

You can send us a screenshot of your current data input form so we can discuss this issue further.
