Dear Scott:
What I want to accomplish is that I have an array of Edit controls on a
dialog.
I want them to have the same width and height and properly aligned such as
follows:
O O O O O O O O O O
O O O O O O O O O O
O O O O O O O O O O ......
O O O O O O O O O O
O O O O O O O O O O
.
.
.
where each O represents an edit control.
It is a pain in the neck to properly size each edit control and align them
even with the help of a ruler guide. So I thought that it may be easier
to be done in the program.
That is a reasonable approach to the problem. I've done the same thing for
arrays of controls that I wanted to be perfectly adjacent.
I suggest that you let Windows size the top left control. That will give
you the automatic adjustment for resolution and font sizes. Then measure
that controls's size (m_MyEditControl.GetWindowRect) and spacing from the
edge and compute the rest of your dimensions based on what Windows did to
size the first control.
