Re: Tile windows

Hi Sasha,

I couldn't really tell from your description whether you were trying to tile
in a frame or on the desktop. Here's a routine I wrote that moves my
application to half of the screen and Explorer to the other half. Maybe
some of this code will help you. In this case I used the height of the
application and the width of the screen. This was a drag and drop
application so I put in an toolbar button that effectively split the screen
between Explorer and my application (that didn't mean the user couldn't
readjust windows after the fact).

Tom

void CMyApp::OnExplorerAdjust()
{
    StartExplorer(FALSE); // In case it's not there
    CWnd *pWndExplorer;
    if ((pWndExplorer = CWnd::FindWindow("ExploreWClass",NULL)) != NULL) {
        // Make MyApp Window normal size
        AfxGetMainWnd()->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWNORMAL);
        CRect rect;
        AfxGetMainWnd()->GetWindowRect(&rect);

        UINT nHeight = rect.Height();
        UINT nWidth = ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN);

        // First lets move MyApp
        AfxGetMainWnd()->MoveWindow(0,0,nWidth/2,nHeight,TRUE);
        AfxGetMainWnd()->SetForegroundWindow();

        // Now Move the Explorer
        pWndExplorer->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWNORMAL);
        pWndExplorer->MoveWindow(nWidth/2,0,nWidth/2,nHeight,TRUE);
        pWndExplorer->SetForegroundWindow();
    }
    else
        AfxMessageBox("No Window's Explorer Found");
}
