MS-DMT Guide v1.04

Released 05-30-2014

Resizing is enabled at all times, to include during transmitting, in testing during receiving and

transmitting a normal amount of resizing does not seem to be a problem but it cannot be ruled

it out if over used.

The layout that everyone is used to has been preserved, however being as MS-DMT is an MFC

Dialog based application, where everything involving resizing requires custom code

development. The current layout limits certain aspects of resizing. As the TX windows are on the

bottom part of the GUI, I have configured the main TX window to be resized horizontally and

vertically while only allowing horizontal resizing of the peer2peer window. As the RX window is

on the top half of the GUI it can only be resized horizontally without overlapping the common

frame, thus the vertical resize is not enabled for the RX window.

The Maximize/Restore button does not seem to have any negative impact if used during RX or

TX. The normal use of Click and Drag Resizing also seems to have little or no impact if

performed during RX or TX. However, if one were to constantly resize the tool during RX, the

overly large amount of windows messages and constant repainting of the tool to the display can

at times impact RX decoding.

For those who are always resizing the MS-DMT and forget to click to drag and resize and then

click again to disable resizing, you may be interested in the extra step required to get rid of the

need to make that last click to disengage resizing? Then start your process by right clicking on

the top title bar and click on "Size", see the screen cap below.
