Hi Jack,

TYPE XBPSTATIC_TYPE_TEXT

Hello,

Thanks for the quick reply.
I was thinking in "boxes". XBPSTATIC_TYPE_TEXT does exactly what i need.

Hi, Jack.

An empty static of the type XBPSTATIC_TYPE_TEXT - or just simply "DCSAY", which is almost the same - is a good invisible parent for lots of situations. If you have a combo box and don't want your (automatically sized, using DCREAD ... FIT) dialog to show an empty area below the combo, just place it on a text static. I have a huge planning system which is able to show several "toolboxes" on tabpages below the plan itself. Those tabs are placed on a text static, and if the user doesn't need the toolboxes, the static is simply hidden (and the browse is resized using the new methods oBrowse:DCSetSize). Hint: If working with visual styles, set XBPSYSCLR_TRANSPARENT as the background color for the static. This avoids trouble with checkboxes and groups.
