Hello,

I want to write a script which will drag and drop the GUI window with popup style.

Following is my code.

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GUIListBox.au3>

#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <GUIFade.au3>


Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
Global $max_trans = 240 ; How transparent do you want the window, 0 = hidden, 255 = fully shown
Global $pos[2]
$width = 480
$height = 250
$pos[0] = @DesktopWidth / 2 - $width / 2 ; X (left) position of window
$pos[1] = @DesktopHeight / 2 - $height / 2 ; Y (top) Position of window

#region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
Global $Form1 = GUICreate("", $width, $height, $pos[0], $pos[1], _
BitOR($WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, $WS_MINIMIZEBOX, $WS_POPUP,$WS_BORDER, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES))
Global $line = 1
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "Form1Close")
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE, "Form1Minimize")
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_MAXIMIZE, "Form1Maximize")
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_RESTORE, "Form1Restore")

Global $List1 = GUICtrlCreateList("", 40, 40, 381, 123);, $LBS_EXTENDEDSEL)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($List1, "List1Click")

Global $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Create Settings && Shortcuts", 200, 190, 151, 41, $WS_GROUP)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Button1, "Button1Click")

Global $btnExit = GUICtrlCreateButton("E&xit", 120, 190, 41, 41, $WS_GROUP)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($btnExit, "MyExit")

Global $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Select any one setup from the following", 40, 20, 189, 17)

_FadeGUIIn($Form1,$max_trans)
;~ GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#endregion ### END Koda GUI section ###

I want that the after clicking on the body of the form, i should be able to drag the Form1

Please can anybody help me out?

Thanks in advance!!

rahulmraut,

You can do it like this: :idea:

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GUIListBox.au3>

#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <File.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
;#include <GUIFade.au3>

#include <SendMessage.au3>  ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
Global $max_trans = 240 ; How transparent do you want the window, 0 = hidden, 255 = fully shown
Global $pos[2]
$width = 480
$height = 250
$pos[0] = @DesktopWidth / 2 - $width / 2 ; X (left) position of window
$pos[1] = @DesktopHeight / 2 - $height / 2 ; Y (top) Position of window

#region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
Global $Form1 = GUICreate("", $width, $height, $pos[0], $pos[1], _
BitOR($WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, $WS_MINIMIZEBOX, $WS_POPUP,$WS_BORDER, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES))
Global $line = 1
;GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "Form1Close")
;GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE, "Form1Minimize")
;GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_MAXIMIZE, "Form1Maximize")
;GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_RESTORE, "Form1Restore")
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN, "Drag_Window")  ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Global $List1 = GUICtrlCreateList("", 40, 40, 381, 123);, $LBS_EXTENDEDSEL)

;GUICtrlSetOnEvent($List1, "List1Click")

Global $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Create Settings && Shortcuts", 200, 190, 151, 41, $WS_GROUP)

;GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Button1, "Button1Click")

Global $btnExit = GUICtrlCreateButton("E&xit", 120, 190, 41, 41, $WS_GROUP)

;GUICtrlSetOnEvent($btnExit, "MyExit")

Global $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Select any one setup from the following", 40, 20, 189, 17)

;_FadeGUIIn($Form1,$max_trans)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#endregion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func Drag_Window()    ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    _SendMessage($Form1, $WM_SYSCOMMAND, 0xF012, 0)
EndFunc

Look for the <<<<<<<<<<<< lines.

Although M23's code is by far the best, an alternate easy method is this

#Include<WindowsConstants.au3>
#Include<GUIConstantsEx.au3>
$Frm_Test = GUICreate("", 200, 400, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 0, 0, 200, 400, -1, $GUI_WS_EX_PARENTDRAG)
GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 20, 20, 100, 200)
GUISetState()

While 1
    If GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
WEnd

It will allow you to click anyplace inside the window and drag it including on a control, in this case the edit.

George,

You know how I hate to pick holes in your code, but........... :idea:

With your method you cannot have any controls in the GUI which need need to respond - they would overlap with the label and become blocked. :)

#Include<WindowsConstants.au3>
#Include<GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$Frm_Test = GUICreate("", 200, 400, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 0, 0, 200, 400, -1, $GUI_WS_EX_PARENTDRAG)
GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 20, 20, 100, 200)
$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 60, 350, 80, 30) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $hButton
            MsgBox(0, "", "Button pressed")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

And if you disable the label to allow the controls to respond to GUIGetMsg, then the dragging does not work. :(

#Include<WindowsConstants.au3>
#Include<GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$Frm_Test = GUICreate("", 200, 400, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 0, 0, 200, 400, -1, $GUI_WS_EX_PARENTDRAG)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 20, 20, 100, 200)
$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 60, 350, 80, 30)
GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $hButton
            MsgBox(0, "", "Button pressed")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Just though I would point it out before we get further question asking why the controls do not work! :)

George,

I was starting to feel sorry for you. You needed a chance to get back at me for previous posts. That was your one and only chance so I'll admit that it's valid enough to count.

George & rahulmraut,

I do know another way as well! :idea:

#include <GuiconstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "On_Exit")
Func On_Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

$hGUI = GUICreate("X", 300, 100, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_POPUP,$WS_BORDER))

$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 10, 10, 80, 30)

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NCHITTEST, "_NCHITTEST")

GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $hButton
            MsgBox(0, "", "Button pressed")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _NCHITTEST($hWnd, $uMsg, $wParam, $lParam)
    If $hWnd = $hGUI Then
        Local $aPos = WinGetPos($hWnd)
        If Abs(BitAND(BitShift($lParam, 16),0xFFFF)- $aPos[1]) < 100 Then Return $HTCAPTION
    EndIf
    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc
