Non Moving dialog box

[Lost User]

Hi, I have a dialog box that I don't want users to be able to move. Currently I have timer running that centers the window ever 5 milliseconds, which could prove to be a bit heavy on resources so I don't want to continue this way. My application is a Windows CE app and I want the window to be positioned in one place and never moved. Any ideas??? Thanks, Claire :confused:

I am not sure if there is a way to fix the position of the dialog box. Instead of centering every 5 milli seconds, you could check if the position of the dialog box has been changed. If so, you could then reposition. Siva

I am not sure but I think you can intercept OnMove event and force to 0 cx and cy.

detect WM_MOVING. You might be able to prevent movement by resetting the drag rectangle to the initial dialog position P.S. - Why don't you want the dialog moved?

try this: 1:Add the following in the *.h: afx_msg UINT OnNcHitTest(CPoint point); 2:Add in the *.cpp ON_WM_NCHITTEST() 3:Add in the *.cpp: UINT CYourDialog::OnNcHitTest(Cpoint point) { UINT nHitTest=CDialog::OnNcHitTest(point); return (nHitTest==HTCAPTION)?HTCLIENT:nHitTest; } good luck for you! ;) julia

CMenu *pSysMenu = GetSystemMenu(FALSE); if (pSysMenu != NULL) pSysMenu->RemoveMenu(SC_MOVE, MF_BYCOMMAND);
