MFC: How to resize a control with only SendDlgItemMess age (ie. without MoveWindow)

[Theo Appelboer]

Is it possible to change the size of a Windows object (in this case a
PictureBox) without calling MoveWindow?

I'm writing a plugin for Winamp, in which I want to display a smooth
bar that displays a continuously changing output value.

In this Winamp plugin I cannot use the SendMessage command because it
causes lockups with Winamp. I _can_ use SendDlgItemMess age.

The following code does the job:
MoveWindow(GetD lgItem(pitch_co ntrol_hwnd, IDC_BMP), 500, 400, out_val, 10, FALSE);

Unfortunately, MoveWindow uses SendMessage commands internally, so I
get lockups.

How can I change the size without getting any SendMessage calls?

Notes: I know I can use a ProgressBar for this, but in WinXP, they are
not smooth anymore, but drawn with blocks that are too big.

Any other ideas to display a (smooth) bar on the screen with a
changing size are also welcome...

Regards,

Theo

Are you in a bad mood?

After the "Pete Becker Incident" he's waited to spring it on someone
else. Just human nature, we know which way it all rolls... right. Btw,
did anyone else notice just after the tiff, suddenly Pete's .sig
changed. Now he's consultant.

I now wait for the "Indignatio n Phase." Hold on, I have to get me
popcorn. Spare me the "it's none of your business" crap. If you post
your life on usenet, it's public and common knowledge. (The reader can
interpret what common means.)

The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love
our enemies; probably because they are generally the same
people.

part, I just don't feel like arguing them out. I just ignore them.

Feel free to ask about any of them. ;-)
