Hi!

Thanks!

Check if the mouse entered the dialog and catch mouse events for the dialog. If left button is down, use Move() for the dialog.

thanks answer to me.

I am thinking..... for Windows

Code: Select all

/*
 * movetheDlgMouseEvents
 */
void movetheDlg::movetheDlgMouseEvents(wxMouseEvent& event)
{
	// insert your code here
 if (event.LeftDown())
    {
   	                  HWND Handle;
	                  ReleaseCapture();
                      SendMessage(Handle,WM_SYSCOMMAND,SC_MOVE,0);        
                      }
	event.Skip();
}

if leftdown event is done, dialog window not move. What's wrong?
OR
Your advice?

Use wxFrame in Windows OS

Code: Select all

/*
 * movewindowFrmMouseEvents
 */
void movewindowFrm::movewindowFrmMouseEvents(wxMouseEvent& event)
{
	// insert your code here
 if (event.LeftDown())
    {
ReleaseCapture();
SendMessage((HWND)this->GetHandle(),WM_SYSCOMMAND,SC_MOVE+1,0);        
                      }
	event.Skip();
}

That's all folks. Thank again!

Hi!
This works with dialogs too. Try using wxWindow::Move() to have a cross platform implementation.

Hi,
I tried with wxWindow::Move(wxPoint).

How to set wxPoint while leftdown()?

Hi!

I tried with wxWindow::Move(wxPoint).

How to set wxPoint while leftdown()?

I suggest the following:
1. Get the x/y coordinates of the mouse event. Store them somewhere.
2. Set capture to the dialog.
3. Check if the mouse has been moved during the next event using the stored x/y values while the left button is pressed.
4. If so, it was a "drag" event. You'll have to recalculate the x/y values to get the actual position of the dialogs upper left corner, then use the stored and the event x/y values to get how many pixels it should be moved.
5. Use the actual positon +/- the x/y moved values and use Move() to move the dialog.

This might look complicated, but it isn't

Code: Select all

void MyDialog::OnLeftDown(wxMouseEvent& evt)
{
	CaptureMouse();
	wxPoint pos = ClientToScreen(evt.GetPosition());
	wxPoint origin = GetPosition();
	int dx =  pos.x - origin.x;
	int dy = pos.y - origin.y;
	m_delta = wxPoint(dx, dy);
}

Code: Select all

void MyDialog::OnMouseMove(wxMouseEvent& evt)
{
	wxPoint pt = evt.GetPosition();
	if (evt.Dragging() && evt.LeftIsDown())
	{
		wxPoint pos = ClientToScreen(pt);
	        Move(wxPoint(pos.x - m_delta.x, pos.y - m_delta.y));
 	}
}

Code: Select all

void MyDialog::OnLeftUp(wxMouseEvent& evt)
{
    if (HasCapture())
    {
        ReleaseMouse();
    }
}

These are separate handlers for left down, left up and motion events. Note that m_delta is an internal wxPoint. If this doesn't work for the dialog directly, use these for a wxPanel on the dialog and do GetParent()->Move().

Thank you very much for interesting.

I use this method to move my parent window. This method works, but as I drag the window, I get a smear effect. It's as if the previous windows are not deleted fast enough when I drag. I've got it stripped down to a simple wxFrame and this code.

Any Ideas?

Look at the shape sample of the wxWidget-distri.
You can find there some source how to do this.
