I have a dialog box
with a listview
control (lvc) in it. Because there are many editbox
before lvc( 57 controls including lvc ), lvc is out of the screen. So i have to make a vertical scroll bar.
Vertical scroll bar:
Range : 0-250
every SB_PAGEDOWN
, SB_PAGEUP
, SB_LINEDOWN
and SB_LINEUP
changes scroll position by 25
#define max_scroll_range 250
#define min_scroll_range 0
#define scroll_step max_scroll_range/10

Problem
Problem is with the MoveWindow
function inside invoice_dialog_child_enum_scroll
function in basefile01.cpp
.
whenever WM_VSCROLL
is processed and the lvc is moved up and all of its column header vanishes.
however there is no mistake or error ( as fas as I know ) in making lisview and its columns because when i change the coordinates of the lvc, so that when it is created it is on the screen which is visible to me at that time, and the moment when I click the line down/up, page down/up and thumbtrack, those column headers vanishes.
and also that if you compare the size of the lvc in both the images, first one is undesirably too small.
as mush as i could debug this project, it is MoveWindow
which is making this problem and SetWindowPos
is no better.
I know that this post is very long but any of your suggestion would be great!
Thanks for your time.
As suggested by @Barmak Shemirani and @Paul Sanders, I made whole new project but this time without extra controls and only with listview.
And i have found out that the problem was with the
MoveWindow
insideEnumChildWindow
but I don't know why?But Check the following link you know know why and also, i have posted the code of that project.
