Hi Everyone,

I am having an odd problem, and can't find the solution for it. I am trying
to customize the Print Dialog (not for a Doc/View printing). The problem is
the Icon image to the left of collate is not displaying correctly. The
CStatic is not resizing to show the entire image for some reason!

Here is the dialog template:
IDD_PRINTDLGORD DIALOGEX 32, 32, 288, 229

WS_VISIBLE | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU

CAPTION "Print"

FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif", 0, 0, 0x0

BEGIN

GROUPBOX "Printer",1075,8,4,272,84,WS_GROUP

LTEXT "&Name:",1093,16,20,36,8

COMBOBOX 1139,52,18,152,152,CBS_DROPDOWNLIST | CBS_SORT |

WS_VSCROLL | WS_GROUP | WS_TABSTOP

PUSHBUTTON "&Properties",1025,212,17,60,14,WS_GROUP

LTEXT "Status:",1095,16,36,36,10,SS_NOPREFIX

CONTROL "",1099,"Static",SS_LEFTNOWORDWRAP | SS_NOPREFIX |

WS_GROUP,52,36,224,10

LTEXT "Type:",1094,16,48,36,10,SS_NOPREFIX

CONTROL "",1098,"Static",SS_LEFTNOWORDWRAP | SS_NOPREFIX |

WS_GROUP,52,48,224,10

LTEXT "Where:",1097,16,60,36,10,SS_NOPREFIX

CONTROL "",1101,"Static",SS_LEFTNOWORDWRAP | SS_NOPREFIX |

WS_GROUP,52,60,224,10

LTEXT "Comment:",1096,16,72,36,10,SS_NOPREFIX

CONTROL "",1100,"Static",SS_LEFTNOWORDWRAP | SS_NOPREFIX |

WS_GROUP,52,72,152,10

CONTROL "Print to fi&le",1040,"Button",BS_AUTOCHECKBOX |

WS_GROUP | WS_TABSTOP,212,70,64,12

GROUPBOX "Print range",1072,8,92,144,64,WS_GROUP

CONTROL "&All",1056,"Button",BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON | WS_GROUP |

WS_TABSTOP,16,106,64,12

CONTROL "Pa&ges",1058,"Button",BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON,16,122,36,12

CONTROL "&Selection",1057,"Button",BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON,16,138,64,

12

RTEXT "&from:",1089,52,124,20,8

EDITTEXT 1152,74,122,26,12,ES_NUMBER | WS_GROUP

RTEXT "&to:",1090,100,124,16,8

EDITTEXT 1153,118,122,26,12,ES_NUMBER | WS_GROUP

GROUPBOX "Copies",1073,160,92,120,64,WS_GROUP

LTEXT "Number of &copies:",1092,168,108,68,8

EDITTEXT 1154,240,106,32,12,ES_NUMBER | WS_GROUP

ICON "",1086,162,124,21,20,SS_CENTERIMAGE | WS_GROUP

CONTROL "C&ollate",1041,"Button",BS_AUTOCHECKBOX | WS_GROUP |

WS_TABSTOP,240,130,36,12

DEFPUSHBUTTON "OK",IDOK,196,171,48,14,WS_GROUP

PUSHBUTTON "Cancel",IDCANCEL,196,193,48,14

END

Here is the constructor of my print dialog

LSPrintDialog::LSPrintDialog(BOOL bPrintSetupOnly, DWORD dwFlags,CWnd*
pParentWnd /*= NULL */)

: CPrintDialog(bPrintSetupOnly,dwFlags,pParentWnd)

{

m_pd.lpPrintTemplateName = (LPTSTR) MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD);

m_pd.Flags |= PD_ENABLEPRINTTEMPLATE;

m_pd.hInstance = AfxGetInstanceHandle();

AfxGetApp()->GetPrinterDeviceDefaults(&m_pd);

}

Any ideas?

AliR.

When you start with the template, isn't that control already the correct
size?

Seems like when I did this, I had to make sure it was big enough in the
designer.

The picture control is not resizable in design view.

Hi AliR,

Based on my understanding, you have a custom print dialog for your MFC
application, its picture control couldn't display the whole image in the
runtime. Please let me know if I have misunderstood anything.

According to your description, the picture static control is not resizable
in the design-time, but it can display the whole icon image in the
designer. Would you please provide a screen-shot to illustrate the run-time
problem?

Thanks for your understanding!

Best regards,

Gary Chang

Hi AliR,

Thanks for the response!

Based on that screenshot, the problem is the image's type--icon. All icon
images' shape format should be square, in your custom print dialog, its
size appears to be 48x48, I think this is an expected behavior for an icon
image.

In this regards, I suggest you don't use the icon type for that image, it
will fix this problem.

Thanks!

Gary I think we are having a bit of miscommunication.
I don't load anything into the image control. It's windows shell that does
that. What I have done is created a template exactly as it is in
CPrintDialog. The Image icon in CPrintDialog has the SS_ICON flag. If I
change it Bitmap then windows print dialog code won't be able to set the
image at all.

My extended CPrintDialog works exactly as it should in a Doc/View type
application (when I setup the new Template id of the CPrintDialog in
OnPreparePrinting method). But does not if I do that in the constructor of
my print dialog

This is all the code for my print dialog.

#pragma once

Hi AliR,

I got it. Since you cannot resize the picture control in the designer, have
you tried to edit that control's size in the resource file(.rc) directly?
