MIN MAX

[jcfuller]

Robert,
  In Pauls WinFBE:

C:\WinFBE_Suite\FreeBASIC-1.07.1-gcc-8.4\inc\win\windef.bi

Code: [Select]

#define max(a, b) iif((a) > (b), (a), (b))
#define min(a, b) iif((a) < (b), (a), (b))

min or max found in these
C:\WinFBE_Suite\FreeBASIC-1.07.1-gcc-8.4\inc\Afx\

AfxCtl.inc
AfxGslComplex.inc
AfxPrinter.inc
CLayout.inc
CMaskedEdit.inc
CWindow.inc


After more research and testing I don't think it really matters. I can live with BCX MIN/MAX. One of the issues I was having was not related to the Afx library but to TCLib;which I was testing in relation the the Afx library

Thank you for your insight and research.

Hi James:

That's good news.

Have you given any thought to using Paul's editor for your project?

  If Robert is writing a José Afx BCX port then never mind.
I mentioned mine was from 2016. Would be really nice for an updated version for BCX

Hi James:

The only thing that I did was modify Use_Form to size from the client window using code from  AfxSetWindowClientSize. Nothing else.

You can revisit the drama and its pathetic failure here.

Going forward, I still think that sizing from the client window is the best and most logical idea and for my programs I revise Use_Form whenever a new version of BCX is out.

I am going to have to restudy AfxSetWindowClientSize and adapt the improvements for Use_Form. And see if there is any effect on DPI changes.

Artists paint on the canvas, not the frame. Except for Banksy ...

The code I have been using to calculate the size of a BCX_FORM from the client window was from Patrice Terrier not from AfxSetWindowClientSize which is copyrighted. José Roca never used max in the AfxSetWindowClientSize procedure.

Robert,
  Pauls WinFBE editor is written in and for FreeBasic only. I thought about approaching him on a port to BCX but he is not coding during the summer. Besides I really do prefer resource dialogs. With the right manifest no worry about dpi. Until BCX 7.5.1 I was using RadAsm3 but now I am using a new FbEdit hack. Well not really new because I can't find the hacked source. I probably couldn't remember how I did it anyway
