Hi
I would like to store the dimension and position of the main frame dlg in order to open it in the same place with the same dimenson next time.
How to do this?
I know that i have to use files but i am having some dificulties looking for the methods that get windows dimension and position.
Any help would be very appreciated.

Thank you

JoseB

Hello JoseB

To store data between runs the best way is to use Serialize (binary files) or Xmlize (xml files).

Just try the examples, they are easy to use.

To get and set TopWindow position you can use GetRect() and SetRect(). For example, imagine a button that, when you push it, your window is moved 200 pixels. The function to do it could be:

void MyWindow::OnPush() {
	Rect r = GetRect();
	r.Offset(200, 0);
	SetRect(r);
}

Best regards
Iñaki

Or you can use SerializePlacement.

See e.g. here:

Unfortunately, it looks like "maximize" is not supported by X11 protocol as operation, or it was not at time we created SerializePlacement.

Somebody should look into it...

How do you interpret the sentence: "Somebody should look into it..." ? Smile

The problem is that right now I am too busy to do that, plus right now X11 is not my primary platform.... So patch is welcome Smile

I was wrong, all fixed, it now should behave as expected.
