PureBasic Forums - English

Hey folks

I’ve been looking everywhere and I couldn’t find nothing that worked, so once again I bring my questions to the forum.

I have Window that I want resized, but not resized any smaller then the default Window size, but not prevent the Window from being resized bigger.

Now using
I was capable of using ResizeWindow() command but the only problem is while forcing the window smaller then the default size, it flickers, bounces… I simply want the resizing to smaller size then the Default Window size halted on spot, if I’m not mistaking I think using SetWindowCallback() is probably low enough level to-do that but I’m clueless where to start. In addition I’m already using SetWindowCallback() command for Column sorting and when I try to implement there is a conflict which prevents Column Sorting from functioning.

Nice to know i'm not the only one...

I'll join the queue waiting for this answer. Anything I've tried gets lousy jerky results - basically fights with the user.

Phant0m``:
If you allready have another callback, don't set this up as another one,
because you can only have 1 callback procedure at a time.
(So if you add another one, the first won't work anymore)

Instead, just copy the code inside this callback procedure into your
own one. This should work.

Hi Freak,

Thanks. And to set the maximums:

GetSystemMetrics_(#SM_CXSCREEN)
GetSystemMetrics_(#SM_CYSCREEN)

would be safe bet? This is to the edge of the window, not the edge of the client area?

I think I could add a native command for this. Any name suggestion for this ? I can't find a good one:

That would be neat.

Um

.. DefineWindowSizeLimits(smlW,smlH,bigW,bigH)
.. SetAbsoluteWindowSizing(..)

LimitWindowSize()

CapWindow()

WindowSizeLimit()

SetWindowSizeLimits()

SetWindowLimits()

MakeSureTheWindowIsNotGettingTooBigOrTooSmallYouWimpWhoCannotCodeThisYourself()

... to name but a few

"WindowSizeLimit" has a ring to it, dont you think? or maybe "SetWindowSizeLimit / GetWindowSizeLimit"

(whoops, you beat me to it Blueznl )

MakeSureTheWindowIsNotGettingTooBigOrTooSmallYouWimpWhoCannotCodeThisYourself()

Suits me.

Except it takes an hour to type and we wimps make typos! Maybe an alias: WimpSettings()

Hey freak

Much appreciated!!!
Thanks a billion!!!

SetWindowSize() ?

btw: MaximizeWindow(#flag) and IsMaxizmizeWindow() would be nice...

SetWindowMaxMinSize()?

or

SetWindowMinMaxSize()

Thanks for the suggestions ! what about WindowBounds() (ok, I got that from JAVA ).
