Form Resize VB6

Post by Mex »

Hallo Timo

Do you know, is it possible in VB6 somehow to "catch" forms resize_begin and resize_end events?

Subclassing the Form and handling WM_SIZING and WM_SIZE message should come close to this.

One more question :)

I have my own UniListview,all works fine. Now when i add manifest to my binary, resizing the listview is much slower.
Any idea what can cause this?

Without knowing what you do within the control when it is resized, it's difficult to tell.

This is very strange problem and happens only with Vista and Windows 7, but when i remove manifest file everything is ok.

With Windows XP works everything fine with manifest too.

If you have time i can send sourcecode and sample app, maybe you can find out what causes this problem?

Okay. But it might take some days as I'm short on time.

I'd say the performance hit is caused by the UserControl_Resize event handler which resizes all columns. Resizing a column causes all its content to be redrawn, so effectively all displayed cells are redrawn when resizing the control. Drawing text seems to be more expensive with themes enabled - I've already noticed this effect in one of my controls.
