Re: Make client area of frame view a certain (fixed) size (AdjustWindowRectEx problem)

Doh! You're right, I forgot that completely. The raw Win32 code did
that but I totally forgot it here. Anyway, I'm not completely there
yet because the client area of the frame view is only 396 * 396. First
it was 392*392 but I removed the extended style WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE that
was set in the view's PreCreateWindow. So it seems the view's
non-client area still takes up some space (4 pixels on each side to
exact). How do I account for that or remove it? I need this code to be
portable, so I can't just adjust it for my system. Here are both
PreCreateWindow():s now:

BOOL DoubleBufferingMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
   VERIFY(CFrameWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs));

   CRect rect(0, 0, 400, 400);

   BOOL b = ::AdjustWindowRectEx(&rect, cs.style, cs.dwExStyle, TRUE);

   cs.cx = abs(rect.left) + abs(rect.right);
   cs.cy = abs(rect.top) + abs(rect.bottom);

   cs.lpszClass = AfxRegisterWndClass(0);

   return TRUE;
}

BOOL DoubleBufferingChildView::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
   VERIFY(CWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs));

   //cs.dwExStyle |= WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE;
   cs.style &= ~WS_BORDER;
   cs.lpszClass = AfxRegisterWndClass(CS_HREDRAW|CS_VREDRAW|CS_DBLCLKS,
   ::LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW),
reinterpret_cast<HBRUSH>(COLOR_WINDOW+1), NULL);

   return TRUE;
}

Thanks for the quick replies btw, this newsgroup is really great!
