Win32 API control expansion?

Post by Kyosaur »

Hello, im midway through my first win32 program and started wondering about something. In my application i have an edit control and a button control. I hate having to get the width/height perfect for these two controls, and also hate that when you expand the window they do not expand with it, is there any way to achieve this? I tried searching before making this post, but found nothing at all really. Its kind of a shame that when the application is full screen (disabled for now) the controls dont fill the window :'(.

Here's my project so far.

Code: Select all

If you have a way to improve my code, feel free to post it as well! Im still getting used to c++ so im sure there are better ways of doing something.

Re: Win32 API control expansion?

Post by Kyosaur »

Does anyone have an idea?

If not i also have another question :D. In my program i have a menu with a submenu attached to it so users can pick a format to convert with. My problem is that i cant show what is currently selected, how would i do that?

For example, in firefox go to view -> character encoding. How would i put a little check or dot in the menu like that?


Sorry, i tried searching for the answers its just these two questions are really hard to find lol.
