Dynamic Tooltip while Resizing Gui with mouse.


Recommended Posts

I would like to have a tooltip for my gui that shows the coordinates (x, y, w, h) changing while I am using the mouse to drag and resize the window.

I am not sure if this is possible. But AutoIt does so many things well, I am sure there must me a way to do this also. I need to be able to detect if the window size is changing.

If someone could suggest a command or two for me to check out, I would be grateful.

Thanks in advance.

@Emperor and @gafrost,

Thanks for the quick responses of code.

They are two examples that give me a good start.

I would like to see the numbers changing as I am dragging, but I will settle for seeing the coordinates in the tooltip when I release the mouse button.

Many thanks to you both.

It is possible with two separate scripts. Please note that Windows' Appearance Effects must be configured to "Show window contents while dragging" in order for tooltip to dynamically update.

You'd probably want to figure out a better way of launching the SizeWatcher....

SizeWatcher.au3 [Run this first in the backgroud]

#include <Misc.au3>
$dll = DllOpen("user32.dll")

$win = "UniqueName" ;this could be a handle passed in via command line paramter

While 1
    If Not WinActive($win) Then
        ToolTip("")
        ContinueLoop
    EndIf
    
    $p = WinGetPos($win)
    If IsArray($p) And _IsPressed("01", $dll) Then
        ToolTip($p[2] & " x " & $p[3])
    Else
        ToolTip("")
    EndIf
    sleep(10)
WEnd

DllClose($dll)

Resizablewindow.au3

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

$Gui = GUICreate("UniqueName", 417, 356, 192, 125, BitOR($WS_SIZEBOX, $WS_MINIMIZEBOX, $WS_CAPTION, $WS_POPUP, $WS_SYSMENU))
guiSetState()

While GuiGetMsg() <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    sleep(10)
WEnd

If I set this effect then my second post in this topic does exactly what you want without the use of a second script :D

Emperor,

That is exactly what I was hoping to be possible.

Thank you for making the code so short and sweet. :D

@CyberSlug, Thanks for your input. I learn so much when you guys put your heads together.

@Emperor, did a little research on the wm_move and wm_size events

with the following you don't need to keep using wingetpos

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

Global Const $WM_MOVE = 0x3

$w = 392

$WinPos = WinGetPos($gui)
$x = $WinPos[0]
$y = $WinPos[1]
$btn1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Register", 10, 20, 120, 20)
$btn2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Register to Dummy", 10, 50, 120, 20)
GUISetState()
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $msg = $btn1
            GUIRegisterMsg($WM_MOVE, "_MovingFunc")
            GUIRegisterMsg($WM_SIZE, "_ResizedFunc")
        Case $msg = $btn2
            GUIRegisterMsg($WM_MOVE, "_DummyFunc")
            GUIRegisterMsg($WM_SIZE, "_DummyFunc")
            ToolTip("")
            GUIRegisterMsg($WM_SIZE, "_DummyFunc") ; for some reason it don't take till the second time on this one
    EndSelect
WEnd
Exit

Func _ResizedFunc($hWnd, $msg, $wParam, $lParam)
    ;~ lParam
    ;~ The low-order word of lParam specifies the new width of the client area.
    ;~ The high-order word of lParam specifies the new height of the client area.
    $h = _HiWord($lParam)
    $w = _LoWord($lParam)
    ToolTip("X: " & $x & " Y: " & $y & " W: " & $w & " H: " & $h, $x, $y)
EndFunc   ;==>_ResizedFunc

Func _MovingFunc($hWnd, $msg, $wParam, $lParam)
    ;lParam
    ;Specifies the x and y coordinates of the upper-left corner of the client area of the window.
    ;The low-order word contains the x-coordinate while the high-order word contains the y coordinate.
    $y = _HiWord($lParam)
    $x = _LoWord($lParam)

Here's another one:

Gary,

Thanks for another example. How would you turn off the tooltip if you minimize the gui and then restore it to the screen?

don't need to, try it.

What happens when you minimize it is x and y get set to -32000

But when you restore it to the screen, the tooltip is showing. I don't want the tooltip to show until I resize the gui again.

Gary,

Nice one. That works perfectly. :D

Now I have to dissect it to see if I can incorporate it into my script.

Thanks,

@Emperor, did a little research on the wm_move and wm_size events

with the following you don't need to keep using wingetpos

Yeah I wasn't too sure if both those messages sent the same info so I just decided to use WinGetPos for my example.

Very nice examples btw :D

Here's an example of something I'm working on for another project (to make the docking better).

You'll see where i commented out the line in the while loop

If you want to see how it worked the old way, uncomment that line and comment out the GUIRegisterMsg line

SciTE for AutoItDirections for Submitting Standard UDFs

Here's an example of something I'm working on for another project (to make the docking better).

Gary,

That's one hell of a script. :D

I will have to look at it closer some time in the future.

I just converted by script from GUIGetMsg() to OnEvent mode. My question is:

If I have five buttons on a gui, is it possible to detect when the tab key (on the keyboard) has been pressed and changed the focus so I can automatically update the tooltip for that button?

I know it is possible, I just need a little input to get started.

Thanks,

taurus905

Well assuming your storing the "last" button that has focus then maybe... If _IsPressed() And ControlGetFocus() = 'Button Whatever' Then may help... Edited by SmOke_N

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

SmOke_N,

I am storing the last button that has focus. Are you saying that I could use an _IsPressed() for the tab key?

I will have to look at that.

I guess part of my concern was that I am now using OnEvent mode and was not sure of the best way to procede.

Thanks for the idea.
