Retrieve Size of ActiveX

So I am creating an ActiveX which basically creates a CListCtrl inside of it. So when the person selects my ActiveX and draw's the 'square' that places the activeX into it, I am interested in knowing those dimensions so I can find size my CListCtrl appropriately inside of this.

Thanks,

WINDOWPLACEMENT wndPlacement;

// Get the current position
m_ActiveXControl.GetWindowPlacement(&wndPlacement);

now you may use like wndPlacement.ptMinPosition.x, wndPlacement.ptMinPosition.y,wndPlacement.ptMaxPosition.x, wndPlacement.ptMaxPosition.y to get dimensions.

m_lstCtrl.SetWindowPos(NULL, 0, 0, width, height, SWP_NOZORDER);
That should position the list control at 0, 0 in the parent and with the width and height you specify.

WINDOWPLACEMENT wndPlacement;

// Get the current position
m_ActiveXControl.GetWindowPlacement(&wndPlacement);

int nWidth = 400; // substitute your new width
int nHeigth = 200; // substitute your new height

m_ActiveXControl.MoveWindow ( wndPlacement.ptMinPosition.x, wndPlacement.ptMinPosition.y,
nWidth, nHeigth);
