/ This function returns TRUE, if layout management is enabled for a window otherwise FALSE. Void EnableDynamicLayout(BOOL bEnable = TRUE) / TRUE - enable layout management, FALSE - disable layout management. / Enables or disables layout manager for a window. InitDynamicLayout: initializes dynamic layout manager as a response to the WM_CREATE message.ResizeDynamicLayout: readjust the position of the controls handled by the dynamic layout manager as a response to WM_SIZE.GetDynamicLayout: retrieves a pointer to layout manager.IsDynamicLayoutEnabled: indicates if layout management is enabled for a window.EnableDynamicLayout: enables or disables layout manager for a window.This LoadDynamicLayoutResource is actually a member of CWnd which contains other methods for working with dynamic layouts: Note: for CPaneDialog, CDialogBar and CFormView on the other hand this is done in HandleInitDialog. LoadDynamicLayoutResource(m_lpszTemplateName) TRACE(traceAppMsg, 0, "Warning: ExecuteDlgInit failed during dialog init.\n") This is done in the OnInitDialog method of the CDialog class as shown below: BOOL CDialog::OnInitDialog()īDlgInit = ExecuteDlgInit(m_lpDialogInit) īDlgInit = ExecuteDlgInit(m_lpszTemplateName) These settings are loaded into a CMFCDynamicLayout object (see afxlayout.h/cpp). the consecutive lines are the dynamic layout settings (move and size ratios) for each control on the dialog, corresponding to the order the controls were defined for the dialog in the resource script file.the first line is a header containing the version number on the structure (0 in this version).In this definition IDD_MFCDYNLAYOUTDEMO_DIALOG is the identifier of the dialog for which the settings are defined and the numbers in the BEGIN-END block represent:

IDD_MFCDYNLAYOUTDEMO_DIALOG AFX_DIALOG_LAYOUT These dynamic layout settings are put in the resource script (.rc file) of the application. When you build and run and resize the dialog box the controls move or resize accordingly. It is pretty simple to put values into the dynamic layout settings for each control.

If you open the properties of a control there is a new category called Dynamic Layout that allows you to select a moving and a sizing type. The resource editor provides support for this, but it can also be done programmatically. What we want is that the controls on the dialog move (the buttons) or resize (the group box, edit and the list) when the dialog is resized: In this article I will show how this feature works. That means library support for moving and resizing controls on a dialog. In Visual Studio 2015 MFC comes with a new features (something that has rarely happen in recent years): support for dynamic dialog layout.
