Work Area on PocketPC square emulator
dev15
controls
depending on the device screen size. I am using the SystemParametersInfo
with SPI_WORKAREA
flag to get screen sizes. However i am finding on PocketPC Square emulators
the work area
doesn't seems to include the menubar at the bottom so i end up with the menu
bar covering the
controls at the bottom of the screen.
How can i resolve?
Thanks

- Change the dialog layout to take this information into account
- Use the workarea to dynamically change the position of the controls so
they are positioned inside the workarea
- Add a scrollbar to the dialog so the user can scroll to those controls

I decrease the height of my dialog boxes by the size of the menu bar.
For Smartphone, that seems to be 26. I haven't posted the code for my
Maximize function in a while, so here it is. I left it intact,
complete with references to some little functions of mine; their
purpose should be clear enough so I won't bother providing the source.
I'm sure I've posted source for PFWTaskBarSetVisibility, so I won't
bother posting it again. In other words, you may need to work a bit to
get this working and/or to understand it, but it _is_ real code that I
use often.
