GUIStartGroup()

[strate]

Is it possible to turn these off and on? For instance I have three different groups, can I remove their groups and set one large one to cover all of the different sections?

not sure why you would want to do something like this, if this is your own code, then something like the following would work, but doesn't change how the groups work, unless you deleted the controls in the groups also and rebuilt them. for example:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
If(Not IsDeclared("GUI_Width")) Then Global Const $GUI_Width = 500
If(Not IsDeclared("GUI_Height")) Then Global Const $GUI_Height = 500
If(Not IsDeclared("BTN_Width")) Then Global Const $BTN_Width = 80
If(Not IsDeclared("BTN_Height")) Then Global Const $BTN_Height = 40

Dim $rdoButton_1,$rdoButton_2,$rdoButton_3,$grp1,$grp2,$grp,$Groups,$hwnd

$hwnd = GuiCreate("Group Test", $GUI_Width, $GUI_Height,(@DesktopWidth-$GUI_Width)/2, (@DesktopHeight-$GUI_Height)/2 , $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)

$Groups = GuiCtrlCreateButton("groups", $GUI_Width - ($BTN_Width + 20), $GUI_Height - ($BTN_Height + 70), $BTN_Width, $BTN_Height)

$grp1 = GUICtrlCreateGroup("group 1",5,$GUI_Height - ($BTN_Height + 135),$BTN_Width + 10,$BTN_Height + 25)
$rdoButton_1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Button 1", 10, $GUI_Height - ($BTN_Height + 120), $BTN_Width, $BTN_Height)
GUICtrlCreateGroup ("",-99,-99,1,1) ;close group

$grp2 = GUICtrlCreateGroup("group 2",5,$GUI_Height - ($BTN_Height + 85),$BTN_Width + 10,($BTN_Height * 2)+ 45)
$rdoButton_2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Button 2",10,$GUI_Height - ($BTN_Height + 70),$BTN_Width,$BTN_Height)
$rdoButton_3 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Button 3", 10, $GUI_Height - ($BTN_Height + 20), $BTN_Width, $BTN_Height)
GUICtrlCreateGroup ("",-99,-99,1,1) ;close group

$Exit = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Exit", $GUI_Width - ($BTN_Width + 20), $GUI_Height - ($BTN_Height + 20), $BTN_Width, $BTN_Height)

GUISetState()


While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $Exit
        ExitLoop
      Case $msg = $Groups
          GUICtrlDelete($grp1)
          GUICtrlDelete($grp2)
          GUICtrlDelete($rdoButton_1)
          GUICtrlDelete($rdoButton_2)
          GUICtrlDelete($rdoButton_3)
          $grp = GUICtrlCreateGroup("group all",5,$GUI_Height - ($BTN_Height + 135),$BTN_Width + 10,($BTN_Height * 3) + 45)
            $rdoButton_1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Button 1", 10, $GUI_Height - ($BTN_Height + 120), $BTN_Width, $BTN_Height)
            $rdoButton_2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Button 2",10,$GUI_Height - ($BTN_Height + 70),$BTN_Width,$BTN_Height)
            $rdoButton_3 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Button 3", 10, $GUI_Height - ($BTN_Height + 20), $BTN_Width, $BTN_Height)
            GUICtrlCreateGroup ("",-99,-99,1,1) ;close group
