Moderators Melba23 Posted November 10, 2009 Moderators Share Posted November 10, 2009 Hi,I have been looking at ways to hide the TaskBar buttons of the dialog boxes produced by my AutoIt apps so that the TaskBar does not become too cluttered. I know I can use the TOOLWINDOW extended style to prevent them entirely, but I do not like the small closure [X] that this gives.At present I am using a UDF involving _GUICtrlToolbar_HideButton, but this produces an annoying flicker on the Taskbar as the button is initially shown by GUISetState before being immediately hidden. Searching has so far produced nothing beyond those 2 options. Does anyone have another suggestion?Thanks in advance,M23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Melba23 Posted November 10, 2009 Author Moderators Share Posted November 10, 2009 Yashied, Thank you. I knew that there had to be something simple.

Moderators Melba23 Posted November 10, 2009 Author Moderators Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) speck, Certainly - although (thanks to Yashied) I am no longer trying. My AutoIt app has a menu, of which the vast majority of items produce separate dialogs. I wanted to prevent these dialogs from appearing on the Taskbar at the bottom (usually) of the screen. Basically this was to keep the Taskbar uncluttered - I have more than enough buttons there anyway. The following shows the difference that Yashied's tip makes: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> $hGUI = GUICreate("Parent", 500, 500, 100, 100) GUISetState() $hHidden_Dialog = GUICreate("Hidden Dialog", 200, 200, 300, 300, -1, -1, $hGUI) GUISetState() $hVisible_Dialog = GUICreate("Visible Dialog", 200, 200, 500, 500) GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd I hope that is clear.

Yashied Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 (edited) By the way, you can "stick" to the AutoIt hidden window. AutoItWinSetTitle('MyUniqueAutoItTitle') $hForm = GUICreate('MyGUI', 400, 400, -1, -1, -1, -1, WinGetHandle('MyUniqueAutoItTitle')) GUISetState() Do Until GUIGetMsg() = -3 Edited November 10, 2009 by Yashied My UDFs: iKey | FTP Uploader | Battery Checker | Boot Manager | Font Viewer | UDF Keyword Manager | Run Dialog Replacement | USBProtect | 3D Axis | Calculator | Sleep | iSwitcher | TM | NetHelper | File Types Manager | Control Viewer | SynFolders | DLL Helper Animated Tray Icons UDF Library | Hotkeys UDF Library | Hotkeys Input Control UDF Library | Caret Shape UDF Library | Context Help UDF Library | Most Recently Used List UDF Library | Icons UDF Library | FTP UDF Library | Script Communications UDF Library | Color Chooser UDF Library | Color Picker Control UDF Library | IPHelper (Vista/7) UDF Library | WinAPI Extended UDF Library | WinAPIVhd UDF Library | Icon Chooser UDF Library | Copy UDF Library | Restart UDF Library | Event Log UDF Library | NotifyBox UDF Library | Pop-up Windows UDF Library | TVExplorer UDF Library | GuiHotKey UDF Library | GuiSysLink UDF Library | Package UDF Library | Skin UDF Library | AITray UDF Library | RDC UDF Library Appropriate path | Button text color | Gaussian random numbers | Header's styles (Vista/7) | ICON resource enumeration | Menu & INI | Tabbed string size | Tab's skin | Pop-up circular menu | Progress Bar without animation (Vista/7) | Registry export | Registry path jumping | Unique hardware ID | Windows alignment More...
