Requirements

CMFCDynamicLayout::AddItem

Adds a child window, typically a control, to the list of windows that are controlled by the dynamic layout manager.

BOOL AddItem(
    HWND hwnd,
    MoveSettings moveSettings SizeSettings sizeSettings);

 
BOOL AddItem(
    int nID,
    MoveSettings moveSettings SizeSettings sizeSettings);

Parameters

hwnd
The handle to the window to add.

nID
The ID of the child control to add.

moveSettings
A structure that describes how the control should be moved as the window size changes.

sizeSettings
A structure that describes how the control should be resized as the window size changes.

Return Value

TRUE if the item was added successfully; otherwise FALSE.

Remarks

The position and size of a child control is changed dynamically when a hosting window is being resized.

CMFCDynamicLayout::Adjust

Adds a child window, typically a control, to the list of windows that are controlled by the dynamic layout manager.

void Adjust();

Remarks

The position and size of a child control is changed dynamically when a hosting window is being resized.

CMFCDynamicLayout::Create

Stores and validates the host window.

BOOL Create(CWnd* pHostWnd);

Parameters

pHostWnd
A pointer to the host window.

Return Value

TRUE if creation succeeded; otherwise FALSE.

Remarks

CMFCDynamicLayout::GetHostWnd

Returns a pointer to a host window.

CWnd* GetHostWnd();

Return Value

A pointer to the host window.

Remarks

By default all child control positions recalculated relative to this window.

CMFCDynamicLayout::GetMinSize

Returns the window size below which layout is not adjusted.

CSize GetMinSize();

Return Value

The window size below which layout is not adjusted.

Remarks

The position and size of a child control is changed dynamically when a hosting window is being resized, but there is a minimum size below which the layout is not adjusted. The user can resize the window to a smaller size, but parts of the window are then hidden from view.

CMFCDynamicLayout::GetWindowRect

Retrieves the rectangle for the window's current client area.

void GetHostWndRect(CRect& rect,);

Parameters

rect
After the function returns, this parameter contains the bounding rectangle of the layout area. This is an out parameter; the input value is overwritten.

Remarks

CMFCDynamicLayout::HasItem

Checks if a child control was added to dynamic layout.

BOOL HasItem(HWND hwnd);

Parameters

hwnd
The window handle for the control.

Return Value

TRUE if layout already has this item; otherwise FALSE.

Remarks

CMFCDynamicLayout::IsEmpty

Checks if a dynamic layout has no child windows added.

BOOL IsEmpty();

Return Value

TRUE if layout has no items; otherwise FALSE.

Remarks

CMFCDynamicLayout::LoadResource

Reads the dynamic layout from AFX_DIALOG_LAYOUT resource and then applies the layout to the host window.

static BOOL LoadResource(CWnd* pHostWnd,
    LPVOID lpResource,
    DWORD dwSize);  

Parameters

pHostWnd
A pointer to the host window.

lpResource
A pointer to the buffer that contains the AFX_DIALOG_LAYOUT resource.

dwSize
The buffer size in bytes.

Return Value

TRUE if resource is loaded and applied to the host window; otherwise FALSE.

Remarks

CMFCDynamicLayout::MoveHorizontal

Gets a MoveSettings value that defines how much a child control is moved horizontally when the user resizes its hosting window.

static MoveSettings MoveHorizontal(int nRatio);  

Parameters

nRatio
Defines as a percentage how far a child control is moved horizontally when the user resizes the host window.

Return Value

A MoveSettings value that encapsulates the requested move ratio.

Remarks

CMFCDynamicLayout::MoveHorizontalAndVertical

Gets a MoveSettings value that defines how much a child control is moved horizontally when the user resizes its hosting window.

static MoveSettings MoveHorizontalAndVertical(int nXRatio int nYRatio);  

Parameters

nXRatio
Defines as a percentage how far a child control is moved horizontally when the user resizes the host window.

nYRatio
Defines as a percentage how far a child control is moved vertically when the user resizes the host window.

Return Value

A MoveSettings value that encapsulates the requested move ratio.

Remarks

CMFCDynamicLayout::MoveNone

Gets a MoveSettings value that represents no motion, vertical or horizontal, for a child control.

static MoveSettings MoveNone();  

Return Value

A MoveSettings value that fixes the control in place, so that it does not move as the user resizes the host window.

Remarks

CMFCDynamicLayout::MoveSettings Structure
