GetRect() difference

[Marc Vanzegbroeck]

Hi,

In my program with FWH32 7.10, oWnd:GetRect()[3] returns -8
in the new program with FWH64 16.04 Revd Build3 it is returning 1048.

Is there a difference between the version 7.10 & 16.04 or is there a difference between the 32bit and the 64bit version?
What is the correct one?

Marc,

Could you post an example of how you are using it ? thanks

Antonio,

I'm using it to autosize a dialog, and move it into the middle of the main window (oMenuWnd).

Code: Select all  Expand view

.....
.....
ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTERED valid mbrowseexit() on init msize(oDlg,svGetlist,vWBreedte)
.....
RETURN

FUNCTION msize(oDlg,svGetlist,vWBreedte)
   local vhoogte   := oMenuWnd:nHeight - oDlg:nHeight - 8 -48
   vwbreedte = min(vwbreedte,oMenuWnd:nWidth-60)
   ........
   oDlg:nWidth  = vWBreedte + 68
   oDlg:move(oMenuWnd:nTop+4+24+oMenuWnd:GetRect()[2],(oMenuWnd:nWidth/2)-((vWBreedte+68)/2)+oMenuWnd:GetRect()[3])
   ........
RETURN
 

Perhaps there is an easyer way to center, and resize the dialog.
vwbreedte is the width op the dialog. Then there is cheched if it is not to wide...
Then the dialog is centered....

Marc,

You can center a dialog (or any window or control) doing:

oDlg:Center()

to change the size fo a dialog (or any window or control) you can do:

oDlg:SetSize( nWidth, nHeight )

Thank you Antonio,

I was using this code since FW1.95, and never changed it because it was working fine

oDlg:Center() and oDlg:SetSize( nWidth, nHeight ) is working fine with FWH64 16.04 Rev Build3

Antonio,

This problem was solved with your solution, but now i found that I also use it in my programs, to know the location of the mail window, when closing the program.

I saved nPos[2] and nPos[3] of oMenuWnd:GetRect() to know the location, but now it is not OK anymore.
How can I get the location of the window, so I can restore it again while opening it?

[Marc Vanzegbroeck]

Problem solved.
Now I use nPos:nTop and nPos:nLeft, and it's working in the old FW and the new one.
I found that when using the array nPos, position 5 is nil in the old version, and not in the new version.
In the new version nPos[4] is equal to nPos[5] of the old version, and so on...

very good
