Windows Form WinAPi custom Savefiledialog - Manage lost focus on control edit - winapi

I need to create on my windows form c# application a custom save file dialog.
I'm used this example as starting point
https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/8086/Extending-the-save-file-dialog-class-in-NET
I have modified the code and add 2 edit control for Width and Height.
I'd like that when change text on width and lost focus, the height texbox update value proporzionally,
But I don't kwow how manage lost focus on edit control.
Here my 2 controls:
int textWidthHandle = CreateWindowEx(0, "Edit", width, ES_NUMBER | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | WS_TABSTOP | WS_BORDER, point.X + 108, point.Y + 8, 47, 20, parent, 0, 0, 0);
SendMessage((int)textWidthHandle, WM_SETFONT, fontHandle, 0);
int textHeightHandle = CreateWindowEx(0, "Edit", height, ES_NUMBER | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | WS_TABSTOP | WS_BORDER, point.X + 199, point.Y + 8, 47, 20, parent, 0, 0, 0);
SendMessage((int)textHeightHandle, WM_SETFONT, fontHandle, 0);
Can you help me please?
Here my full code:
public enum EncodingType
{
A75 = 0,
A76 = 1,
A77 = 2,
A78 = 3,
A79 = 4,
A80 = 5,

How do I get the exact size of a window's area, including hidden controls?

I need to get the whole window's display area size, including controls that are hidden. In order to do that, I get the value from top from the very first window and the value of bottom from very last control. However, I'm getting a gap/white are in the end of the display area. See what's like in the below image. The display area is supposed to be until the Edit control's borders is seen. What am I missing?
I'm getting this size by:
int scrollHeight(void)
{
int minTop = 0;
int maxBottom = 0;
RECT rt = {0};
if(allControls_indx == 0) {
return 0;
}
#if 0
assert(allControls[0] == hMainWindow);
assert(allControls[allControls_indx - 1] == hEdit1);
#endif
if(!GetWindowRect(allControls[0], &rt)) {
ErrorExit(NAMEOF(scrollHeight), __LINE__, __FILENAME__);
}
minTop = rt.top;
if(!GetWindowRect(allControls[allControls_indx - 1], &rt)) {
ErrorExit(NAMEOF(scrollHeight), __LINE__, __FILENAME__);
}
maxBottom = rt.bottom;
return maxBottom - minTop;
}
set as scrollbar's page size like this:
setUpScrollBar(hwnd, scrollHeight());
where setUpScrollBar is defined as:
void setUpScrollBar(HWND hwnd, int h)
{
RECT rc = { 0 };
GetClientRect(hwnd, &rc);
SCROLLINFO si = { 0 };
si.cbSize = sizeof(SCROLLINFO);
si.fMask = SIF_ALL;
si.nMin = 0;
si.nMax = h;
si.nPage = (rc.bottom - rc.top);
si.nPos = 0;
si.nTrackPos = 0;
SetScrollInfo(hwnd, SB_VERT, &si, TRUE);
}

I think there is no problem with your calculation method. But you added the handle of the main window hwnd for the first time, which leads to the fact that the minTop you get in GetWindowRect(allControls[0], &rt) is the top coordinate of the main window, which caused a gap at the end of the display area.
However, you should actually get the coordinates of minTop from hLabel1 so that you won't attend the question.
In addition, you forgot to add hRemoveButton to the allControls array.
Solution: You can choose not to add the main window to the allControls array, or use GetWindowRect(allControls[1], &rt) to get the coordinates of minTop.
if (!GetWindowRect(allControls[1], &rt)) {
ErrorExit((LPWSTR)NAMEOF(scrollHeight), __LINE__, (LPWSTR)__FILENAME__);
}
minTop = rt.top;
Edit:
The reason why part of the edit box is cropped is that your hLabel1 is set to a height of 10 compared to the top, so when the top of hLabel1 is used as minTop, the length of the bottom is reduced by 10 units.
You need to add the y size of the topmost control:
return maxBottom - minTop + y; //The y size of the topmost control.

How do I calculate the SCROLLINFO.nMax to my window?

How do I calculate the value to set into SCROLLINFO.nMax to my window? currently I'm looping over all the controls in the window, keeping track of the smallest top and highest bottom values, so that I could get the size of the whole window, including those out of display area, not currently being show but still there. But something is wrong, I'm getting a big empty area in the end of scrollbar, it seems nMax is too large. what am I missing? once you scroll down entirely, it's supposed the window until the edit box show up. What the gab looks like now:
I'm getting this size like this:
int scrollHeight(void)
{
int mTop = 0;
int mBottom = 0;
RECT rt = {0};
for(int i = 0; i < MAX_CONTROLS; i++)
{
HWND h = allControls[i];
if(h == NULL) break;
memset(&rt, 0, sizeof(RECT));
if(!GetWindowRect(h, &rt))
{
ErrorExit(NAMEOF(scrollHeight), __LINE__, __FILENAME__);
}
mBottom = my_max(mBottom, rt.bottom);
mTop = my_min(mTop, rt.top);
}
return mBottom - mTop;
}
setting the scrollbar like this:
void setUpScrollBar(HWND hwnd)
{
RECT rc = { 0 };
GetClientRect(hwnd, &rc);
SCROLLINFO si = { 0 };
si.cbSize = sizeof(SCROLLINFO);
si.fMask = SIF_ALL;
si.nMin = 0;
si.nMax = scrollHeight();
si.nPage = (rc.bottom - rc.top);
si.nPos = 0;
si.nTrackPos = 0;
SetScrollInfo(hwnd, SB_VERT, &si, TRUE);
}

This line in your scrollHeight() function is the problem:
mTop = my_min(mTop, rt.top);
mTop starts out as 0, so will always be the minimum. Instead of the distance between the top and bottom controls you end up with the distance from the top of the screen to the bottom of the bottom control (note that because you're using GetWindowRect you are dealing with screen coordinates, not client coordinates - so this magnifies the problem).
If you change that line to the following it gives a much better result:
mTop = mTop ? my_min(mTop, rt.top) : rt.top;

how do I remove this margin from text's size measured with GetTextExtentPoint32()?

I'm using GetTextExtentPoint32() to measure the text size and calculate the width and height of my combobox. However, it seems to be adding margin proportional to the amount of text, that I'd to get rid of. It seems the larger the string is, the larger margin I get on right. How do I it doesn't add this margin? a small one is acceptable but look at the second image, the big empty space on right.
With small strings, I find this margin acceptable:
However, with big ones, I get this big white space on right side, that I'd to get rid of:
I'm measuring the text size like this:
int len = wcslen(s);
HDC dc = GetDC(hwndCombo);
SIZE sz;
assert(GetTextExtentPoint32(dc, s, len, &sz));
ReleaseDC(hwndCombo, dc);
int weight = sz.cx + 10;
int height = sz.cy;
assert(SetWindowPos(hwndCombo, HWND_TOP, 0, 0, weight, height, SWP_NOMOVE));

How do I set combobox's background color on selected item?

I have a owner-draw combobox where I'd like to recreate the standard behavior, i.e., that blue background color over the current selected item. I've tried set X when the WM_DRAWITEM message is received without luck like this:
case WM_DRAWITEM:
{
LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT b = (LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT) lParam;
if(b->itemAction & ODA_FOCUS)
{
SetBkMode(b->hDC, TRANSPARENT);
SetBkColor(b->hDC, GetSysColor(COLOR_HIGHLIGHT));
DrawFocusRect(b->hDC, &b->rcItem);
return (INT_PTR) TRUE;
}
Example of behavior I'm refering to:

To draw the selected item with a different background and text colour, you need to check the itemState member of the given DRAWITEMSTRUCT (lParam) argument for the ODS_SELECTED flag.
Something like the following:
case WM_DRAWITEM:
{
LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT b = (LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT) lParam;
SetBkMode(b->hDC, TRANSPARENT);
if(b->itemState & ODS_SELECTED) // Selected ...
{
SetTextColor(b->hDC, GetSysColor(COLOR_HIGHLIGHTTEXT));
FillRect(b->hDC, &b->rcItem, (HBRUSH)(COLOR_HIGHLIGHT+1));
}
else // Not selected ...
{
SetTextColor(b->hDC, GetSysColor(COLOR_WINDOWTEXT));
FillRect(b->hDC, &b->rcItem, (HBRUSH)(COLOR_WINDOW+1));
}
DrawText(b->hDC, items[b->itemID], -1, &b->rcItem, DT_CENTER | DT_VCENTER | DT_SINGLELINE);
// Check for focus ...
if(b->itemAction & ODA_FOCUS)
{
DrawFocusRect(b->hDC, &b->rcItem);
}
return (I
NT_PTR) TRUE;
Note: When using a system colour for the hbr parameter of your FillRect call, you need to add one to the value. From the documentation for FillRect:
...If specifying a color value for the hbr parameter, it must be one
of the standard system colors (the value 1 must be added to the chosen
color).

How do I implement double buffering in the winapi?

I can't stop the flickering. I got the advice to add dubbel-buffering. How do I do that?

As member Retired Ninja said, you make compatible device context with the original one ( hdc in your case ), and create a bitmap compatible with your original device context ( bitmap size is equal to the size of your rectangle where you paint your stuff ).
Then select this newly created bitmap into compatible device context you just created and draw everything on it.
Then you just BitBlt(...) the compatible device context into original one.
Do not forget to perform proper cleanup in order to avoid GDI leaks.
Your code should look like this:
case WM_PAINT:
{
// skipped the initialization part to preserve space
// just copy those, they are irrelevant for your problem
hdc = BeginPaint(hwnd, &ps);
// create memory DC and memory bitmap where we shall do our drawing
HDC memDC = CreateCompatibleDC( hdc );
// get window's client rectangle. We need this for bitmap creation.
RECT rcClientRectangle;
GetClientRect( hwnd, &rcClientRect );
// now we can create bitmap where we shall do our drawing
HBITMAP bmp = CreateCompatibleBitmap( hdc,
rcClientRect.right - rcClientRect.left,
rcClientRect.bottom - rcClientRect.top );
// we need to save original bitmap, and select it back when we are done,
// in order to avoid GDI leaks!
HBITMAP oldBmp = (HBITMAP)SelectObject( memDC, bmp );
// now you draw your stuff in memory dc;
// just substitute hdc with memDC in your drawing code,
// like I did below:
TextOut( memDC, //...
TextOut( memDC, //...
for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < 20; j++)
{
if (level1[j][i] == '1')
{
SetTextColor( memDC, //...
SetBkColor( memDC, //...
TextOut( memDC, //...
}
SetBkColor( memDC, //...
if (level1[j][i] == '0')
{
SetTextColor( memDC, //...
TextOut( memDC, //...
}
SetTextColor( memDC, //...
if (i == x && j == y)
TextOut( memDC, //...
if (level1[j][i] == 'e')
TextOut( memDC, //...
}
}
// OK, everything is drawn into memory DC,
// now is the time to draw that final result into our target DC
BitBlt( hdc, 0, 0, rcClientRect.right - rcClientRect.left,
rcClientRect.bottom - rcClientRect.top, memDC, 0, 0, SRCCOPY );
// all done, now we need to cleanup
SelectObject( memDC, oldBmp ); // select back original bitmap
DeleteObject( bmp ); // delete bitmap since it is no longer required
DeleteDC( memDC ); // delete memory DC since it is no longer required
EndPaint(hwnd, &ps);
break;
}
