JohnnyThrash Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) I have to say I'm pretty much a newbie at AutoIt. I've been working on a program, a shell replacement, and I've gotten pretty far along with it, both conceptually and in actual work. I'm making a window and I need resize a Listview control to be proportionate to the window. I anticipate skining the window myself, however. Because of this I can't use docking since I won't be using $WS_SIZEBOX in my window GUI. So my question is: How can I resize a GUI control, namely a listview, dynamically without using docking? PS: I truly have been searching and searching for the answer, I keep coming up with nada. Edited March 5, 2010 by JohnnyThrash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsaltyDS Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 If you won't use docking, it won't happen automatically. You can handle the $GUI_EVENT_RESIZED event by checking the new GUI size, doing the math, and resizing the control with ControlMove(). Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

Thanks for your response I'll try it out. If you think I might be going about this all wrong please let me know. I'm just thinking here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Resizing does not require that you have a WS_SIZEBOX style. It simply determines the way a control is resized when the parent window is resized. So if you change a window using WinMove for example then the resizing mode for the controls will take effect. #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> $gg = GUICreate("nothing",400,400,400,400,$WS_POPUP) $edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("htfg",10,10,380,380) GUICtrlSetResizing(-1,$GUI_DOCKTOP + $GUI_DOCKLEFT + $GUI_DOCKBOTTOM + $GUI_DOCKRIGHT) GUISetState() sleep(5000) winmove($gg,"",400,400,800,600) sleep(5000) Serial port communications UDF Includes functions for binary transmission and reception.printing UDF Useful for graphs, forms, labels, reports etc.Add User Call Tips to SciTE for functions in UDFs not included with AutoIt and for your own scripts.Functions with parameters in OnEvent mode and for Hot Keys One function replaces GuiSetOnEvent, GuiCtrlSetOnEvent and HotKeySet.UDF IsConnected2 for notification of status of connected state of many urls or IPs, without slowing the script.

I have one major problem however. I'm using the Explorer View UDF. For some reason docking won't work on this GUI control. If necessary I can show you my code.
