Re: CSpinButtonCtrl does not follow CEdit when moving

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

SetBuddy does work OK!
However, there is an interesting "problem" with edit control "window rect":
this rect deflates after each SetBuddy call!
So if someone wanted to use this way, he/she would need to save the initial
edit control size to "correct" the rect dimensions returned by
m_cEdit.GetWindowRect.

In this case, I think, Joe's way would me more simple and more obvious!

Presumably the buddy has already been set, so how is it that this will
change anything?

Well, how about using CSpinButtonCtrl::SetBuddy after edit control has
been
moved?
Something like:

CRect newRect(...);
....
m_cEdit.MoveWindow(newRect);
m_cSpin.SetBuddy(&m_cEdit);

The alignment requirement in no way makes the two controls be coupled at
runtime; it
applies cosmetics at design time. If you want the control to move at
runtime, you have to
move both controls, no other choice.

I would do something of the following

void CMyClass::MoveEditControl(CEdit & ctrl, CPoint pt)
{
CRect editRect;
ctrl.GetWindowRect(&editRect);
ScreenToClient(&editRect);
CWnd * spin = ctrl.GetWindow(GW_HWNDNEXT);
CRect spinRect;
spin->GetWIndowRect(&spinRect);
ScreenToClient(&spinRect);
CSize offset(spinRect.left - editRect.left, spinRect.top -
editRect.top);
ctrl.MoveWindow(NULL, pt.x, pt.y, 0, 0, SWP_NOSIZE | SWP_NOZORDER);
spin->MoveWindow(NULL, pt.x + offset.cx, pt.y + offset.cy, 0, 0,
SWP_NOSIZE |
SWP_NOZORDER);

}

Hi there!

I have a problem that seams to be very common, but I still didn't find
a nice solution.

My subclasses:
- CMyEdit : CEdit;
- CMySpinButtonCtrl : CSpinButtonCtrl.

Behavior:
- The SpinButton is aligned as UDS_ALIGNRIGHT;
- When I move the Edit (using CWnd::MoveWindow), the SpinButton is
not moved and stay away from the Edit control.

It's a common problem or I forgot important overrides in my
subclasses?

I'd really appreciate any help.

Best regards,
