I'm trying paste an image in a window. It works ok, except when the user resizes the window, because DBPro tries to make what's inside 800*600. Is there a way around this? Or is there a way that I can get the windows window size? Maybe a DLL, MrTAToad?
Thanks

The best way around that I can think of is to get the windows X & Y size (in a loop), and then re-size the graphic accordingly.

I think you can get the Windows X & Y size with someone else routine (RobK???) - if not, let me know, and I'll see what I can do.

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...

Yes, I know. That's how I thought of doing it. I just don't know how to get the window size. I thought that you would have a DLL for it already. Thanks anyway, MrTAToad

I haven't done one - I'll leave this to you toady - My plugin just gets the desktop resolution, a bit silly of me not to include a feature to get the window size - but there you go.

Do you want Windows menus in your DBP apps? - Get my plugin: http://snow.prohosting.com/~clone99/downloads/tpc_menus_103.zip

You get better values (ie non 65535 values when expanding), if you dont use memblocks, just allocate memory, and then peek.

The reason the 65535 appears is a) a problem with memblocks and b) Windows moves the window when expanding (to produce a negative x,y position).

So, the proper code is :



and yes, you will need my plug-ins to run it.

Ok. Thanks MrTAToad!

[Edit]
I'm back at home. They work fine.
Nothing wrong with your plugin MrTAToad, but can't you just use this?
