resizing of dialog boxes

[b_girl]

I was wondering if it was at all possible, when 'maximizing' a dialog box, to make it so that it doesn't cover up the main menubar? When my dialog box maximizes itself, I want it to maximize to the size of the parent frame (if that's what the part below the menubar is called). Is this possible, if so, how?

You can resize your dialog to its parent's client area, which you can get by calling GetClientRect(). You'll probably need to convert the rect to screen coordinates before resizing your dialog. Something like this (untested!):

CMyDialog::doMaximize()
{
CRect rect;
GetParent()->GetClientRect (&rect);
ClientToScreen (&rect);
MoveWindow (&rect);
}
