Hi

i wanted to move dialog item
so i was trying to find in MSDN Library something about it.
i think i have to use SendDlgItemMessage, but i'm not sure what message i need to send.
i tried WM_SIZE and WM_MOVE with several different wparam and lparam but my item didn't move even a little

what should i do ?

thx in advance

could you explain a bit more ?

sounds like you want MoveWindow ?

i just don't know what message should i send.
i have a dialog and it's described in resource section
and while resizing dialog's window i'd like to resize and move items also.

when handling WM_SIZE
i WM_SIZE to statusbar with same wParam and lParam

for others i use MoveWindow, like edit box, list box etc

There is no message for this purpose; use MoveWindow and GetDlgItem.

MoveWindow(GetDlgItem(hDlg, ID_CONTROL), x, y, width, height, TRUE)

Let's say a child window is 1/3 parent's width long. When the parent window receives a WM_SIZE message, you need to get LOWORD from lParam (which is equal to new width), and count 1/3 of it. Then Use MoveWindow or SetWindowPos on the child window.
The point is, you have to know the scale of child windows before. When whole window is static you just place buttons so that everything looks nice. But when it is dynamiccaly changinge when responding to WM_SIZE message, the proportions are needed.
