\n Now that we have learned about the intricacies of the WM_NCCALCSIZE<\/code> message,\n we can use it to get rid of the flicker in our resizing code. We just take the trick\n we used above and apply it to the scroll program.\n <\/p>\n

\n First, we need to get rid of the bad flickery resize, so return the OnWindowPosChanging<\/i> function\n to the version before we tried doing metaphor work:\n <\/p>\n

BOOL OnWindowPosChanging(HWND hwnd, LPWINDOWPOS pwp)\n{\n    if (!(pwp->flags & SWP_NOSIZE)) {\n        RECT rc = { 0, 0, pwp->cx, pwp->cy };\n        AdjustSizeRectangle(hwnd, WMSZ_BOTTOM, &rc);\n        pwp->cy = rc.bottom;\n    }\n    return 0;\n}\n<\/pre>\n
\n        Instead, our work will happen in the WM_NCCALCSIZE<\/code> handler.\n    <\/p>\n
UINT OnNcCalcSize(HWND hwnd, BOOL fCalcValidRects,\n                  NCCALCSIZE_PARAMS *pcsp)\n{\n    UINT uRc = (UINT)FORWARD_WM_NCCALCSIZE(hwnd,\n                        fCalcValidRects, pcsp, DefWindowProc);\n    if (fCalcValidRects) {\n        \/\/  Give names to these things\n        RECT *prcClientNew = &pcsp->rgrc[0];\n        RECT *prcValidDst  = &pcsp->rgrc[1];\n        RECT *prcValidSrc  = &pcsp->rgrc[2];\n        int dpos;\n        int pos;\n        \/\/ Did we drag the top edge enough to scroll?\n        if (prcClientNew->bottom == prcValidSrc->bottom &&\n            g_cyLine &&\n            (dpos = (prcClientNew->top - prcValidSrc->top)\n                                            \/ g_cyLine) != 0 &&\n            (pos = ClampScrollPos(g_yOrigin + dpos)) != g_yOrigin) {\n            *prcValidDst = *prcClientNew;\n            ScrollTo(hwnd, pos, FALSE);\n            prcValidDst->top -= dpos * g_cyLine;\n            uRc = WVR_VALIDRECTS;\n        }\n    }\n    return uRc;\n}\n    \/* Add to WndProc *\/\n    HANDLE_MSG(hwnd, WM_NCCALCSIZE, OnNcCalcSize);\n<\/pre>\n
\n        This uses a new helper function which we extracted from the ScrollTo<\/i> function.\n        (If I had planned this better, this would have been factored out when we first wrote ScrollTo<\/i>.)\n    <\/p>\n
int ClampScrollPos(int pos)\n{\n    \/*\n     *  Keep the value in the range 0 .. (g_cItems - g_cyPage).\n     *\/\n    pos = max(pos, 0);\n    pos = min(pos, g_cItems - g_cyPage);\n    return pos;\n}\n<\/pre>\n
\n        I am not entirely happy with this code, however. It is my personal opinion that the WM_NCCALCSIZE<\/code> handler\n        should be stateless. Notice that this one modifies state (by calling ScrollTo<\/i>).\n        If I had more time (sorry, I’m rushed now – you’ll learn why soon), I would have put\n        the state modification into the WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING<\/code> message. So I will\n        leave that as another exercise.\n    <\/p>\n
