Lesson -8:Common Controls
8.9:Scrolling the View

After adding all these controls, you might find that they don’t all fit in the window. As Figure 8.9 shows, no scrollbars appear, even though CCommonView inherits from CScrollView. You need to set the scroll sizes in order for scrolling to work properly.


FIG. 8.9 The view doesn’t automatically gain scrollbars as more controls are added.

Expand CCommonView and double-click OnInitialUpdate() in ClassView. Edit it so that it looks like this:

void CCommonView::OnInitialUpdate()

{

CScrollView::OnInitialUpdate();

CSize sizeTotal;

sizeTotal.cx = 700;

sizeTotal.cy = 500;

SetScrollSizes(MM_TEXT, sizeTotal);

}

The last control you added, the month calendar, ran from the coordinates (470, 260) to (650, 420). This code states that the entire document is 700*500 pixels, so it leaves a nice white margin between that last control and the edge of the view. When the displayed window is less than 700*500, you get scrollbars. When it’s larger, you don’t. The call to SetScrollSizes() takes care of all the work involved in making scrollbars, sizing them to represent the proportion of the document that is displayed, and dealing with the user’s scrollbar clicks. Try it yourself—build Common one more time and experiment with resizing it and scrolling around. (The scrollbars weren’t there before because the OnInitialUpdate() generated by AppWizard stated that the app was 100*100 pixels, which wouldn’t require scrollbars.)
