Dear Support,

I have this piece of code:

    void CMyControlBar::Show()
    {
        CSize szDesiredSize;
        CPoint pt (0,0);
        SetInitDesiredSizeFloating(szDesiredSize);
        SetInitDesiredPosFloating(pt);
        FloatControlBar(pt);
        pMainFrm->RecalcLayout();
        pMainFrm->SendMessage(WM_NCPAINT); 
        pMainFrm->ShowControlBar(this, TRUE, FALSE);
    
        CSize sz = GetSizeFloating();
        CRect rc;
        GetClientRect(rc);
    }

My problem is that neither sz nor rc contain the real client area size.

How can I get the real client area size of a control bar?

Thanks,

Ron.

 

The GetClientRect() API returns the real size of window client area. Please provide us with more details about your task. What you have initially and what should be done?

What I get in the GetClientRect is 2 pixels bigger then the actual client rect. you can see the explanation in my attached screenshot + what happens to my inner control.

The thing is that I replace the control in a control-bar, and I have resize it, or else it does not resturcture itself internally. I resize it with the parameters in GetClientRect, which provides me the wrong size.

Here is an example of the problem I have. I have to resize my control inside the contol-bar, otherwise it does not re-position its internal structure correctly, so I call this line:

    m_pCtrl->SetWindowPos(NULL,0,0,rc.Width(), rc.Height(), SWP_NOZORDER|SWP_NOMOVE);

The problem can be shown in the picture below:
