Hello. Thanks for scintilla. I've really gotten a lot of use out of it.
One thing: I often have autocomplete windows appearing behind the
windows taskbar. You see, my application is using scintilla as a
"command shell" at the bottom of our app window. So it's down there by
the taskbar and it's not very tall.
Anyhow, I've implemented a solution for Win32 that seems to work. At
least, I'm pretty happy with it.
In ScintillaBase::AutoCompleteStart instead of GetClientArea, I call a
new function GetWorkAreaRelative. This gives the desktop work area in
coordinates centered on the scintilla window. That way nothing else in
the function is changed (that's good for me because I don't mess
anything else up). At the very least, this code sample should
illuminate what sort of behavior I am advocating for.
//get the coordinates of the desktop working area (minus any taskbars and
junk like that)
//expressed in coordinates relative to this window
PRectangle Window::GetWorkAreaRelative() {
//rectangle of desktop working area
RECT dt={0,0,0,0};
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETWORKAREA, NULL, &dt, 0);
//rectangle of this window in desktop coords
RECT win={0,0,0,0};
if (id)
::GetWindowRect(reinterpret_cast<HWND>(id), &win);
//convert - more or less
return PRectangle(dt.left-win.left, dt.top-win.top,
dt.right-win.left, dt.bottom-win.top);
}
