Recommended Posts

is it possible to do this with the handle of a window?

right now i have an edit box, i am cutting that in half using controlmove and using the extra space for a child window. however i can only create the child gui within that control. and once i move the control, i can no longer see my child window

Existing control

|-----|
|XXXXX|
|XXXXX|

trim existing control + adding child gui under it

d0n,

Is this what you want to do?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Global Const $WM_ENTERSIZEMOVE = 0x231
Global $aRelPos[2]

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500, 200, 200)

$hEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 10, 10, 480, 430)

$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Show GUI", 10, 450, 80, 30)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $hButton
            If GUICtrlRead($hButton) = "Show GUI" Then
                ControlMove($hGUI, "", $hEdit, 10, 10, 480, 230)

                $hChild = GUICreate("", 480, 200, 210, 470, $WS_POPUP, -1, $hGUI)
                GUISetBkColor(0xFFFF00, $hChild)
                GUISetState()

                GUIRegisterMsg($WM_ENTERSIZEMOVE, "_GetRelPos")
                GUIRegisterMsg($WM_MOVE, "_FollowMe")

                GUICtrlSetData($hButton, "Hide GUI")
            Else
                GUIRegisterMsg($WM_ENTERSIZEMOVE, "")
                GUIRegisterMsg($WM_MOVE, "")

                GUIDelete($hChild)

                ControlMove($hGUI, "", $hEdit, 10, 10, 480, 430)

                GUICtrlSetData($hButton, "Show GUI")
            EndIf

    EndSwitch

WEnd

Func _FollowMe($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)

    #forceref $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam

    If $hWnd <> $hGUI Then Return

    WinMove($hChild, "", $aGUI_Pos[0] - $aRelPos[0], $aGUI_Pos[1] - $aRelPos[1])

EndFunc ;==>_FollowMe


;When the primary window starts moving get the relative position of the secondary window.
Func _GetRelPos($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)

    If $hWnd <> $hGUI Then Return

    Local $aGUI_Pos = WinGetPos($hGUI)
    Local $aChild_Pos = WinGetPos($hChild)

    $aRelPos[0] = $aGUI_Pos[0] - $aChild_Pos[0]
    $aRelPos[1] = $aGUI_Pos[1] - $aChild_Pos[1]

EndFunc ;==>_GetRelPos

That guy martin has some funny ideas. His functions can be replaced by one line.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Global Const $WM_ENTERSIZEMOVE = 0x231
Global $aRelPos[2]

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500, 200, 200)

$hEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 10, 10, 480, 430)

$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Show GUI", 10, 450, 80, 30)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
    Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    Exit
    Case $hButton
    If GUICtrlRead($hButton) = "Show GUI" Then
    ControlMove($hGUI, "", $hEdit, 10, 10, 480, 230)

    $hChild = GUICreate("", 480, 200, 10, 250, $WS_POPUP, -1);, $hGUI)
                DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetParent", "hwnd", $hChild, "hwnd", $hGUI)
    GUISetBkColor(0xFFFF00, $hChild)
    GUISetState()

    GUICtrlSetData($hButton, "Hide GUI")
    Else

    GUIDelete($hChild)

    ControlMove($hGUI, "", $hEdit, 10, 10, 480, 430)

    GUICtrlSetData($hButton, "Show GUI")
    EndIf

    EndSwitch

martin,

Funny, yes - but very useful. :) Thanks for the corrected version - another tool to add to the snippets store.

Of interest, the 2-function version came from this post of yours from about a week ago - although that did not use a child window.

Edit: There is actually a function for that DLL call in the WinAPI UDF:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500, 200, 200)
$hEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 10, 10, 480, 430)
$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Show GUI", 10, 450, 80, 30)
GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $hButton
            If GUICtrlRead($hButton) = "Show GUI" Then
                ControlMove($hGUI, "", $hEdit, 10, 10, 480, 230)
                $hChild = GUICreate("", 480, 200, 10, 250, $WS_POPUP)
                _WinAPI_SetParent($hChild, $hGUI)
                GUISetBkColor(0xFFFF00, $hChild)
                GUISetState()
                GUICtrlSetData($hButton, "Hide GUI")
            Else
                GUIDelete($hChild)
                ControlMove($hGUI, "", $hEdit, 10, 10, 480, 430)
                GUICtrlSetData($hButton, "Show GUI")
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
WEnd

It kinda works after i edit it into my script, but sometimes it would just flicker and no child window would appear

$Pos = ControlGetPos($Title, "", "[CLASS:RichEdit20A; INSTANCE:2]")
GUICreate("Test", 80, 60)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start", 14,8, 50, 20)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Stop", 14,30, 50, 20)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()

    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    If $msg = $Button1 Then Start()
    If $msg = $Button2 Then Stop()
WEnd

Func Start()

    ControlMove($Title, "", "[CLASS:RichEdit20A; INSTANCE:2]", $Pos[0]+100, $Pos[1], $Pos[2], $Pos[3]/2)
    $Chat1 = GUICreate("",$Pos[2],$Pos[3]/2,$Pos[0],$Pos[3]/2, BitOR($WS_Popup,$WS_Overlapped,$DS_SETFOREGROUND))
    _WinAPI_SetParent($Chat1, 0x000403AA)
    GUISetBkColor(0xFFFF00, $Chat1)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $Chat1)

EndFunc

Func Stop()

    GUIDelete($Chat1)
    ControlMove($Title, "", "[CLASS:RichEdit20A; INSTANCE:2]", $Pos[0], $Pos[1], $Pos[2], 595)

EndFunc

EDIT: It works if i keep clicking start, and hope the gui appears, then it will stay there lol

EDIT: Seems to of fixed it by adding Sleep :)

Thanks for the help guys

No idea, but where does 0x0004003A come from?

Looks like these two lines

$Chat1 = GUICreate("",$Pos[2],$Pos[3]/2,$Pos[0],$Pos[3]/2, BitOR($WS_Popup,$WS_Overlapped,$DS_SETFOREGROUND))
    _WinAPI_SetParent($Chat1, 0x000403AA)

should be

$Chat1 = GUICreate("",$Pos[2],$Pos[3]/2,$Pos[0],$Pos[1] + $Pos[3]/2, BitOR($WS_Popup,$WS_Overlapped,$DS_SETFOREGROUND))
    _WinAPI_SetParent($Chat1, WinGetHandle($sTitle))
