Hi!

I have a Dialog where I put some Items in on demand (textfields etc.)
When this is done I call

BaseContainer msg;
msg.SetId(BFM_LAYOUT_CHANGED);
SendParentMesssage(msg);

This works fine and updates the dialog layout when calling it. BUT!

When I want to remove these Elements by using RemoveElement() and then sending the Message to Parent this does NOT work - the Items are unavailable BUT the areas where thay are are not redrawn.

Why? Does anyone of you hava an idea or better solution?

Thank you,

lawn

There is a better way, I think. See the AsyncTest.cpp file for how it handles dynamic (changing) groups. Then you can use this gem:

  
void AsyncDialog::ReLayout(void)  
{  
     LayoutFlushGroup(GROUP_DYNAMIC);  
     CreateDynamicGroup();  
     LayoutChanged(GROUP_DYNAMIC);  
}  

Now, this requires you to 'reconstruct', through your own CreateDynamicGroup() method, but it's fast enough to handle quite a large number of elements.

HTH,
