So… I;m using resized event to save the last dialog size.
Problem is that this event is fired many many times when user is resizing.
How could I defect only the last resize even?
I was trying to use dotnet timer.
But. no success.
Update a variable and save it when the dialog is closed. Or get the size just before the dialog is closed.
(
try destroydialog ::RO_TEST catch()
rollout RO_TEST "" width:200 height:200
(
local dlgSize = [200,200]
on RO_TEST resized arg do dlgSize = arg
on RO_TEST close do messagebox ("Dialog Size will be saved\n\n" + (dlgSize as string))
)
createdialog RO_TEST style:#(#style_resizing, #style_titlebar, #style_border, #style_sysmenu)
)or
(
try destroydialog ::RO_TEST catch()
rollout RO_TEST "" width:200 height:200
(
on RO_TEST close do
(
w = RO_TEST.width
h = RO_TEST.height
messagebox ("Dialog Size will be saved\n\n" + ([w,h] as string))
)
)
createdialog RO_TEST style:#(#style_resizing, #style_titlebar, #style_border, #style_sysmenu)
)Well… the reason why I’m tryong to defect is that I want to close dialog automatically when resize is done.
Well, that changes the things. Although I have to say it is an uncommon behavior what you are seeking (IMO). I’ve never seen such a behavior in a dialog, but I am sure you must have your reasons.
So, you must also have an idea of what you consider resizing. I mean, you want to close the dialog automatically when the resize event ends, but what defines the end of the resizing event 50ms, 250ms, 500ms, a mouse up event? It is an arbitrary behavior so I guess you already know what it should be.
May I ask how this would be used and why it must be when the user “somehow” ends the resizing and not when the event begins?
If I can detect 100ms, that should be enough.
The reason is…
I need to restart dialog to redraw all UI sized according to resized main dialog when user finishes resize.
Does this work for what you need?

try destroydialog ::RO_TEST catch()
rollout RO_TEST "" width:200 height:200
(
timer clock "" interval:100 active:off
on clock tick do destroydialog ::RO_TEST
on RO_TEST resized arg do clock.active = on
on RO_TEST close do
(
w = RO_TEST.width
h = RO_TEST.height
messagebox ("Dialog Size will be saved\n\n" + ([w,h] as string))
)
)
createdialog RO_TEST style:#(#style_resizing, #style_titlebar, #style_border, #style_sysmenu)
)oh… it seems working well.
Thanks!
I guess I can control the interval number?
Sure, you can use the one you define at rollout setup of modify it anytime later, as well as turn the timer on/off.
Working great. I’m also using for moved event, too.
Thanks a lot!
the right way is to add Native Window and catch all messages. I don’t remember right now but you need to catch WM_SIZING or WM_NCCALCSIZE. The ‘resized’ event is going after WM_SIZE. It’s usually too late and visible when children controls are not align/resize with the dialog
i posted an example on this forum
