vmars,

borderless, moveable, resizeable, visible object

Does this fit the bill? :)

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
#include <windowsconstants.au3>
#include <SendMessage.au3>

Global Const $margin = 12; distance from edge of window where dragging is possible
Global Const $SC_DRAGMOVE = 0xF012

GUICtrlSetResizing(-1,$GUI_DOCKWIDTH)
$Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 140, 90, 150, 30)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $Gui)

    EndIf

A bit rough around the edges, but as I have just hacked a few forum examples together that is hardly surprising. I am sure it can be polished considerably.

And now a nice sort-of UDF for you to use :) I am feeling very generous today.

All you need to do is to call _GUICreate in the same way as you normally would, and it'll sort out the rest for you. To change the margin just change the value of the global variables.

#Include<Array.au3>

Global $INTERNAL_GUI[1]   = [0]
Global $INTERNAL_MARGIN   = 6
Global $INTERNAL_ALLOW    = True
Global $INTERNAL_LAST     = 0

Func _GUICreate ($sTitle, $w, $h, $x = -1, $y = -1, $nStyle = 0, $nStyleEx = 0, $hParent = 0)
   Local $hRet = GUICreate($sTitle, $w, $h, $x, $y, BitOR (-2147483648, $nStyle), BitOR (136, 0), $hParent)
   If @Error Then Return SetError (@Error, 0, 0)
   GUIRegisterMsg (512, "INTERNAL_WM_MOUSEMOVE")
   GUIRegisterMsg (513, "INTERNAL_WM_LBUTTONDOWN")
   ReDim $INTERNAL_GUI[UBound ($INTERNAL_GUI) + 1]
   $INTERNAL_GUI[UBound ($INTERNAL_GUI) - 1] = $hRet
   $INTERNAL_GUI[0] += 1
   $INTERNAL_LAST = $hRet
   Return $hRet
EndFunc ; ==> _GUICreate

Func _GUIDelete ($hWnd = default)
   If $hWnd = default Then $hWnd = $INTERNAL_LAST
   If Not IsHwnd ($hWnd) Then Return SetError (1, 0, 0)
   Local $i = INTERNAL_GET_INDEX_FROM_HWND ($hWnd)
   If $i = -1 Then Return SetError (1, 0, 0)
   _ArrayDelete ($INTERNAL_GUI, $i)
   $INTERNAL_GUI[0] -= 1
   Return GUIDelete ($hWnd)
EndFunc ; ==> _GUIDelete

Func INTERNAL_GET_INDEX_FROM_HWND ($hWnd)
   If $hWnd = 0 Then Return -1
   For $i = 1 to $INTERNAL_GUI[0]
      If $hWnd = $INTERNAL_GUI[$i] Then Return $i
   Next
   Return -1
EndFunc ; ==> INTERNAL_GET_INDEX_FROM_HWND

Func INTERNAL_GET_MOUSE_POS_TYPE ($hWnd)
   Local $cp = GUIGetCursorInfo ($hWnd), $wp = WinGetPos ($hWnd), $curs = 0
   If $cp[0] < $INTERNAL_MARGIN Then $curs += 1
   If $cp[0] > $wp[2] - $INTERNAL_MARGIN Then $curs += 2
   If $cp[1] < $INTERNAL_MARGIN Then $curs += 3
   If $cp[1] > $wp[3] - $INTERNAL_MARGIN Then $curs += 6
   If $curs = 0 Then $curs += 9
   Return $curs
EndFunc ; ==> INTERNAL_GET_MOUSE_POS_TYPE

Func INTERNAL_WM_LBUTTONDOWN ($hWnd, $msgID, $wParam, $lParam)
   If Not $INTERNAL_ALLOW Then Return "GUI_RUNDEFMSG"
   Local $i = INTERNAL_GET_INDEX_FROM_HWND ($hWnd)
   If $i = -1 Then Return "GUI_RUNDEFMSG"
   Local $curs = GUIGetCursorInfo ($hWnd)
   If $curs[4] <> 0 Then Return "GUI_RUNDEFMSG"
   $drag =  INTERNAL_GET_MOUSE_POS_TYPE ($hWnd)
   If $drag = 9 Then GUISetCursor (9, $hWnd)
   DllCall("user32.dll", "long", "SendMessage", "hwnd", $hWnd, "int", 274, "int", 0xF000 + $drag, "int", 0)
   Return 1
EndFunc ; ==> INTERNAL_WM_LBUTTONDOWN

Func INTERNAL_WM_MOUSEMOVE ($hWnd, $msgID, $wParam, $lParam)
   If Not $INTERNAL_ALLOW Then Return "GUI_RUNDEFMSG"
   Local $i = INTERNAL_GET_INDEX_FROM_HWND ($hWnd)
   If $i = -1 Then Return "GUI_RUNDEFMSG"
   Local $Curs
   Switch INTERNAL_GET_MOUSE_POS_TYPE ($hWnd)
      Case 9
         $curs = 2
      Case 1, 2
         $curs = 13
      Case 3, 6
         $curs = 11
      Case 5, 7
         $curs = 10
      Case 4, 8
         $curs = 12
      Case Else
         Return
   EndSwitch
   If $curs = MouseGetCursor () Then Return
   GUISetCursor ($curs)
EndFunc ; ==> INTERNAL_WM_MOUSEMOVE

example:

$Gui = _GUICreate ("test", 500, 100, 300, 300)

$hBtn = GUICtrlCreateButton ("X", 480, 2, 20, 20)
   GUICtrlSetResizing (-1, 4 + 32 + 768)

GUISetstate ()

While GUIGetMsg () <> $hBtn
   Sleep (10)
WEnd

:) got a bit carried away. It's not perfect (yet) mind you, just found another bug which could result in an error. So I'll fix that now. I think the most amusing thing is that I rewrote most of it between yours and my first one, and then kinda undid it all again.

Looks like just 1 example :)

martin,

Yus, it's a fair cop, guv. You got me bang to rights. ;):)

I must get into the habit of marking the original author on the snippets I keep.

Only a Brit is going to say that I would guess, and I wasn't sure if you had some Canadian connection.

No problem at all Melba23, you usually do credit people. I was actually pleased to see that someone had found my post usefule since it had very little obvious interest, and I was quite pleased with myself when I discovered those messages, although it could be that a lot of other people already knew about them of course.

Not bad. At the risk of being tedious ... how about the ability to send text strings to the form (so it looks like some kind of 'output only' console). That would be handy for unattended application installs as a way to post status updates as the install unfolds. Eg

'Installing application abc ...'

'Making post-install registry changes ...'

'Deleting desktop icon ...'

'Done !'

Kymbo,

Welcome to the Autoit forums. :)

If you want to send the messages from within your own script, then just add a label control to the GUI and use GUICtrlSetData to update it. If you want to capture the install apps console output then you will need to use StdoutRead to get the data - the Help file shows the syntax.

Give it a try yourself and come back if you run into problems. ;)

Dolemite50,

Sorry to disappoint you, but that was not among the scripts I hacked together for the first example. ;)

However, I do share your sentiments regarding 2 of our more eminent members. :)
