overlap display problem

[edvschu]

Hello,

with version 2.5.201 and all subsequent versions of the ActiveX control, there is a display problem in our application.

After fixing the problem

Fixed refresh / repaintinting bug with ActiveX control on the dialog Forms
https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... hp?t=12458

we have problems with displaying the control.

Located at the position of the ActiveX Control also another control (such as a grid), then the grid is not displayed properly,
it will be masked by the ActiveX control, although this is hidden.

We develop our application with this tool: http://www.ca.com/us/products/detail/ca-plex.aspx

Can they get us more details to come, what has changed?

Hi, edvschu.

Located at the position of the ActiveX Control also another control (such as a grid), then the grid is not displayed properly,
it will be masked by the ActiveX control, although this is hidden.

Please check: our control is really hidden OR is overlapped only by your grid-control (our control isn't hidden and placed under your control).
For your case our control must be invisible by "pdfViewerCtrl.visible = false" for example, or, in other words, the window-style of our control should not contain the WS_VISIBLE flag..

Also you may try add the WS_CLIPCHILDREN flag in the style of your form...

Hello,

thanks for the reply. But the instructions do not help me really.

I have made ​​no changes to my application, but now using the latest version of the ActiveX control.

I have forwarded the problem to the Plex support. They say now the problem is with the manufacturer of the ActiveX Control.
Up to version 2.5.200, it has functioned. Perhaps help further detailed information about what was changed internally in version 2.5.201.

not contain the WS_VISIBLE flag
add the WS_CLIPCHILDREN flag

Plex generates C++ source code and I can not find the WS_VISIBLE flag. With method C++ ShowWindow I hide/show the Control.
I can't set the flag WS_CLIPCHILDREN, I only have the option for Clip Control Yes/No in Plex. In the C++ source is then the flag WS_CLIPSIBLINGS.

Hi edvschu.

Thanks for your sample app.
This trouble was reproduced and will be fixed in the next official build.
For now you may use new fixed sdk-DLL from the attached archieve OR you may use next workaround: add to your form style the WS_CLIPCHILDREN flag.

HTH.
