Cpropertysheet pages get clipped, Why?

Yes all the dialogs are the same size. I mean approximately, Its hard to get them exactly the same size with the resource editor

>> Its hard to get them exactly the same size with the resource editor
Yes you can do that.... look at the right bottom of the status bar... you can see the dimension of the currently selected dialog

Good luck

I'm using visual studio 2003 and when I resize the dialog all it says in the status bar is "Ready" No units unfortunately, there is however rulers at the top and side of the dialog but they don't display any units which makes it difficult to size the dialogs.

Anyway I have approximately set all of them to 75 vertically (The controls fit snuggly in this space).

Can you tell me though what size they should be. Should I account space at the top or bottom for the tabs that the propertysheet draws ontop of the dialogs? For eg do I have to account for the tab space at the top and then add my controls at the bottom of the dialog:

_________________________
(Leave space for tab headers)

__________________________
End of dialog

So you think the reason the property sheet doesn't paint/clips the tab headings for the bottom row of stacked tabs is because the dialogs are incorrect size. Do they have to be exactly the same width and height?



 

Hi,
   Does the dialog have WS_CLIPSIBLINGS set ? If so try removing it.

I guess the property sheet takes the size of the largest page and makes all the page as same size.

Have you checked out EnableStackedTabs() function?

Yes I have set the EnableStackedTabs(TRUE) function (this is the default anyway)

The WS_CLIPSIBLINGS flag has not been set

And I have also modified the RC directly using notepad to set the size of the dialogs exactly all the same.

Unfortunately the above problems still persist.

Any other ideas?

I think it might be with the window styles assigned to the PropertySheet and the PropertyPage. As far as I know all windows get clipped by the parent (ie the CPropertySheet) unless they are WS_POPUP windows

but how to I set these styles for the CPropertySheet CPropertyPages? And what exact styles are required by each?

These are the styles I am setting for the CPropertySheet at the moment

      m_dlgPropSheet.Create(this, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE , 0);
      m_dlgPropSheet.ModifyStyleEx (0, WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT);
      m_dlgPropSheet.ModifyStyle( 0, WS_TABSTOP );
Regards

I tried

      m_settingsPage.ModifyStyle(0, WS_POPUP);
      m_ConvertPage.ModifyStyle(0, WS_POPUP);
      m_FontsPage.ModifyStyle(0, WS_POPUP);
      m_EncryptionPage.ModifyStyle(0, WS_POPUP);
      m_AdvancedPage.ModifyStyle(0, WS_POPUP);

but it didn't work
