i have an owner form and an owned form. i want the owned form to stick to the bottom-right corner of the owner form
a regular form doesn't have a move event (only resize) and that's what the subclassing is for...
but no matter what i did i couldn't get the windows to draw together when the owner form is moved.
i tried wm_move,wm_moving,wm_enter/exitsizemove with a loop but nothing works.
the owned form is like dragged after it's owner
hope this is better:)

How about using the SetParent API?

make it a child window? it wouldn't work since i need it to be just outside the bottom-right corner and if it's a child window it only draws itself in the borders of his parent, no?
you know Winamp right? (who doesnt...) i want something like the way the Playlist window is dragged with the Player window in Winamp.

yup, just like that but without the little jumps...
here's your code with a little change so you can really see the jumps:

I dunno... With the WM_MOVE message it's better than the WM_MOVING message but still not perfect if you move the window fast...
EDIT : The MoveWindow API makes it a bit better I think but not all that much...

I want to keep a control in the upper right hand corner of my program and I want it to stay there when the form is resized. I've thought of using a picture box and aligning it to the right but that may cause problems with what I need it for though I'm not going to rule out the picture box, so..any suggestions are welcome ^^;
Thanks in advance.. |
Simple. On the Resize event type the following:
control1.top = 0 'will always stick to the top.
control1.left = form1.left+form1.width-control1.width
try this. It SHUD work (tho i havnt tried it. just applied logic.)
do tell me if it works (or not) |
