Thread: Splitting the Window

How do I split a window up (without using MFC) like HTML's frames option?

nevermind, I figured it out. Thanks anyways though.

OK, I figured out how to do it, but now I have another problem... I'm trying to figure out what to make of this code:

Code:

int nSplitterPos = 100;
int nSplitterBorder = 2;

void SizeWindowContents(int nWidth, int nHeight)
{
 MoveWindow(hEdit1, 0, 0, nWidth, nSplitterPos, TRUE);
 MoveWindow(hEdit2, 0, nSplitterPos + nSplitterBorder, nWidth,
            nHeight - nSplitterPos - nSplitterBorder, TRUE);
}

It's really only the height that I'm having trouble with (the 5th parameter)... it seems that no matter how I mess with it, something messes up. All I want is to have the top window taller than the bottom window... Anyone?

Many thanks

Chris

It will take a little more math then whats in the SizeWindowContents() function you posted above... you could use something like this:

Code:

void SizeWindowContents(HWND hParent, int tRatio)
{
     RECT wRect;
     int tHeight, bHeight;

     GetWindowRect(hParent, &wRect);
     tHeight = (wRect.bottom - wRect.top) * (tPerc - 100);
     bHeight = (wRect.bottom - wRect.top) - tHeight;
     MoveWindow(hEdit1, 0, 0, wRect.right - wRect.left, tHeight, TRUE);
     MoveWindow(hEdit2, 0, tHeight + nSplitterBorder, wRect.right - wRect.left, bHeight - nSplitterBorder, TRUE);
}

Might be a simpler way of doing the code except I don't care to think about it right now lol. I used some of the variables from your example just because I figure you already have them setup as globally (assuming of course).

Hope this helps,

Thanks cryeon - but I think I figured out an easier way. It was actually simpler without rect. Although that would be for dynamic sizing, no? Right now I have it static - i.e. they're the same size no matter if the window is maximized or minimized. But thanks for the other example.
