Hi

How to check whether a user has selected a dialog box bigger than the monitor screen size.

Hi,

You can check the dialog-size with oDlg:nWidth and oDlg:nheight
The screen-dimensions can be retreived by the getsysmetrics() function.

Regads,

It may be something like:

Code: Select all  Expand view

If oDlg:nWidth > WndWidth( GetDesktopWindow() ) .or. oDlg:nHeight > WndHeight( GetDesktopWindow() )

For the dialog-size, You need a small adjustment ( Dialog-style ),
because the frame is not included in oDlg:nWidth and oDlg:nHeight => :

Testing with sreen 1024 x 768
Dialog with title and border Dialog = Screensize

DEFINE DIALOG oDlg2 FROM 0, 0 TO 768 -28, 1024 -8 PIXEL

ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg2 ;
ON INIT ( Msgalert( GetSysmetrics( 0 ), "Screen-width (1024)"), ;
Msgalert( GetSysmetrics( 1 ), "Screen-height (768)"), ;
Msgalert( oDlg2:nWidth, "Dialog-width"), ;
Msgalert( oDlg2:nHeight, "Dialog-height") )
