The copy progress window shows a resizable arrow at the edge, but is not resizable.
Especially when using long file names, a lot of the "From" directory is being truncated (see screen shot). It would be nice to make this progress window resizable to see more of the "From" directory.

Re: Make Progress Window Resizable
It's interesting that the tool ResizeEnable which I use to resize Windows OnScreen Keyboard in Vista can't resize TC copy progress window (though I'm not sure the resizing using such a hack would allow to show more characters of filenames in that window, because for some apps it also changes the size of the font.)Thoemmeli wrote:The copy progress window shows a resizable arrow at the edge, but is not resizable.

It is not enough to resize window itself, you need to resize text labels but labels are not separate windows in Delphi, they are virtual and are drawn directly to form, so only code is able to resize them.
And, resizing may be limited by setting window min/max size bounds, if you send WM_GETMINMAXINFO message to that window, you'll get following MINMAXINFO structure:
So, size tracking is only allowed within zero range, and Windows will not allow to set another size until such limitation is active...

Code: Select all
ptMaxSize {x=455 y=192}
ptMaxPosition {x=0 y=0}
ptMinTrackSize {x=455 y=192}
ptMaxTrackSize {x=455 y=192}

Re: Make Progress Window Resizable
+1 for this suggestion. When you copy many files with deep folder structure you cannot even guess the file path. Is it possible to allow resizing at least in horizontal direction?
Re: Make Progress Window Resizable
I think that currently resize may work only for a single file. When TC starts copying a new file, it probably refreshes dialog window with default size, so you can't see any result when copying small files.
