Question: How to make the window resizable.

[Pasukun]

Before I ask.. I want you to know that I am very new to AutoIt3. :">

Q: I am trying to make a resizable GUI window. How do I do that?

For example. Your internet browser, you can use the mouse pointer to shrink or expand the size of it by clicking either the corner or the edge and drag.

Here is my noob script. What can I add to make that possible?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$Title_01 = "My Project"
$Width_01 = "500"
$Height_01 = "250"
$Xcoord_01 = "150"
$YCoord_01 = "150"

GuiCreate( $Title_01, $Width_01, $Height_01, $Xcoord_01, $Ycoord_01)
GUISetState ()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
Wend

Thanks in advance.

Well this is a little strange and told me to be changed BUT you has to do a default minemized window and move/resize it like this...

$Form = GuiCreate('Form Window',180, 60,-1,....

WinMove($Form,-1,... // to the actually diaplay size but told me to be changed...

I think that this is one thing an automated language should take care of for you...

Thanks in advance.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

look at the GUICreate doc

By default the dialog box is non sizable and non maximizable. So WS_SIZEBOX or WS_MAXIMIZEBOX can be used in the style parameter.

remember the first defined size is the minimum size

Add this yo your optinal style paremeter or it might be exstyle paremeter

$WS_SIZEBOX

I think thats it

Didn't want to create another noob thread, so I decide to ask here instead. :">

Here is my updated script. (still practicing)

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$Title_01 = "My Project"

$Title_02 = "My Project2"

$Width_01 = "500"

$Height_01 = "250"

$Xcoord_01 = "150"

$YCoord_01 = "150"

$Create_01 = GuiCreate( $Title_01, $Width_01, $Height_01, $Xcoord_01, $Ycoord_01, $WS_MINIMIZEBOX+$WS_SIZEBOX)

GUISetState ()

$Create_02 = GuiCreate( $Title_02, $Width_01, $Height_01, $Xcoord_01, $Ycoord_01, $WS_MINIMIZEBOX+$WS_SIZEBOX)

GUISetState ()

While 1

    $msg = GUIGetMsg()

    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop

Wend

As you can see. It will generate two GUI windows.

Now here is my question..

If I click on the either window's "X" box(located at the top right corner) to close the window.. it closes both..

How can I make them independently close?

Thanks in advance.

Here's one way using GuiGetMsg(1) ; advanced option

The first gui is the parent and if closed, both windows will close.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$Title_01 = "My Project"
$Title_02 = "My Project2"
$Width_01 = "500"
$Height_01 = "250"
$Xcoord_01 = "150"
$YCoord_01 = "150"

$Create_01 = GuiCreate( $Title_01, $Width_01, $Height_01, $Xcoord_01, $Ycoord_01, $WS_MINIMIZEBOX+$WS_SIZEBOX)
GUISetState ()

$Create_02 = GuiCreate( $Title_02, $Width_01, $Height_01, $Xcoord_01 + 50, $Ycoord_01 + 50, $WS_MINIMIZEBOX+$WS_SIZEBOX)
GUISetState ()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg(1) 
    If $msg[0] = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE and $msg[1] = $Create_01 Then exit
    If $msg[0] = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE and $msg[1] = $Create_02 Then GUIDelete($Create_02)
WEnd

If you want them independant, then just check to see if both not exists:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$Title_01 = "My Project"
$Title_02 = "My Project2"
$Width_01 = "500"
$Height_01 = "250"
$Xcoord_01 = "150"
$YCoord_01 = "150"

$Create_01 = GuiCreate( $Title_01, $Width_01, $Height_01, $Xcoord_01, $Ycoord_01, $WS_MINIMIZEBOX+$WS_SIZEBOX)
GUISetState ()

$Create_02 = GuiCreate( $Title_02, $Width_01, $Height_01, $Xcoord_01 + 50, $Ycoord_01 + 50, $WS_MINIMIZEBOX+$WS_SIZEBOX)
GUISetState ()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg(1) 
    If $msg[0] = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE and $msg[1] = $Create_01 Then GUIDelete($Create_01)
    If $msg[0] = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE and $msg[1] = $Create_02 Then GUIDelete($Create_02)
    
    if (not WinExists("My Project")) and (not WinExists("My Project2")) then Exit
WEnd
