Question: how does resizelib respond to existing gripper? #33

Closed adipose closed 1 month ago

adipose commented 4 months ago

CStatusBar can have style SBARS_SIZEGRIP, which creates a gripper in the bottom right of the statusbar.

What does resizelib do in this case? Does it just draw on top of it?

I tried to disable the gripper from resizelib, but I realized it was being drawn by win32, as well.

Never tried on a dialog box, but in SDI applications the sizegrip is hidden. You can hide it too in dialogs. Of course the status bar will show its own sizegrip.

It doesn't matter much but I wonder if disabling it from resizelib should update the CStatusBar style to match?

I guess it is the responsibility of the final dialog class, which creates the CStatusBar, to disable the CResizableSizeGrip and use only the status bar.

OK, thank you for documenting that here. In my experience, it works fine as-is, but I was confused when I realized there were two things drawing the same gripper.
