GUI Window Constrains

Recommended Posts

Hi,

as already mentioned in the description, I want to make constrains for my GUI-Window according to maximal and minimal width and height.

In C++ - API's I know that as a "Constrains" class of each form where I can set constrains for a GUI window, so that it isn't possible to make it bigger or smaller than the given values.

Is there anyway to set these constrains in AutoIt? (I've already searched but didn't found any which was helpful)

I like to limit the minimal size because the GUI looks broken if you scale it to small.

Thanks for your help!

TSGames,

From my snippets folder (I seem to remember credit goes to martin): :(

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


Global $GUIMINWID = 300, $GUIMINHT = 100;set your restrictions here
Global $GUIMAXWID = 800, $GUIMAXHT = 500

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_GETMINMAXINFO, "WM_GETMINMAXINFO")

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500, -1, -1, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, $WS_SIZEBOX))

GUISetState()


While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch

WEnd

Func WM_GETMINMAXINFO($hwnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam)
    $tagMaxinfo = DllStructCreate("int;int;int;int;int;int;int;int;int;int", $lParam)
    DllStructSetData($tagMaxinfo, 7, $GUIMINWID) ; min X
    DllStructSetData($tagMaxinfo, 8, $GUIMINHT) ; min Y
    DllStructSetData($tagMaxinfo, 9, $GUIMAXWID ); max X
    DllStructSetData($tagMaxinfo, 10, $GUIMAXHT ) ; max Y
    Return 0
EndFunc   ;==>WM_GETMINMAXINFO

Melba,

thank you very much! I've never thought it would be so easy to implement. And I like it because it's the absolutly native Windows-GUI way and not something "self-written" for the behaviour.

Thanks again, I now can use the real benefits of scalable GUI's - also in AutoIt :(

Regards

TSGames
