Dektop question

[cueclub]

Hey gang,

Just wondering , I have been working with @DesktopHeight and @DesktopWidth ,

Question is, Can I set it to only allow for part of the screen. Something like

$dh1 = (@DesktopHeight-100)
$dw1 = (@DesktopWidth-100)

GUICreate("test", $dh1, $dw1, 10, 10)

hope it makes sense lol. Just trying to make it so it takes up only part of the scree, no matter the res settings.

As Usual

Thanks in advance

Cue

Have you tried?

[cueclub]

Yes, Yes I did. After your reply.

I wasnt,t actually sure if it would work, and had escaped my normal practice of posting without trying. Please forgive me

Yes, Yes I did.

Darn, just as I was about to get out the ClueClub.

ok another problem

expandcollapse popup

main()
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <IE.au3>


func Main()

$dh1 = (@DesktopHeight-100)
$dw1 = (@DesktopWidth-100)
$dh2 = (@DesktopHeight-300)
$dw2 = (@DesktopWidth-110)

GUICreate("test", $dh1, $dw1, 10, 10)
_IEErrorHandlerRegister ()

$oIE = _IECreateEmbedded ()
GUICreate("autoit.com", $dw1, $dh1, 10, 10)

$GUIActiveX = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 5, 30, $dw2, $dh2)

GUISetState()       ;Show GUI

_IENavigate ($oIE, "autoit.com")

; Waiting for user to close the window
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop

    EndSelect
WEnd

GUIDelete()

Exit
endfunc

When I run it i get an "include" error in the output window.

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\IE.au3 (3104) : ==> Variable used without being declared.:

Return SetError($_IEStatus_Success, 0, 1)

Return SetError(^ ERROR

->16:20:09 AutoIT3.exe ended.rc:1

Am I missing somthing in the script, or have I added somthing I shouldnt have?

The code in the include files is inserted where the #include statement is located. You called Main() before the variable declarations in the include files got executed.

[cueclub]

ah that would explain why it works with the function removed. But not as I had written it

See that's why I like coming here, Much better to have more then 1 brain. Oh and the occasional sarcasm is nice too.

Thx PsaltyDS

You're welcome. That will cost you one donation to Jon's hosting bills.

(The sarcasm is free.)

I am planning on it. Well worth it in my book.

As the salty one pointed out it's because of where you #included your files so maybe it's time for a statement about the general layout I use when creating a script. It's always better to stay with a consistant structure even if you don't use this one.

Starting from the top of the script

Comment Block if required

Global Constants ;; This is where I will have things like $Title and $Version. Just things I know are not in some constants file that I will #Include later

#Include lines

Opt()s ;; AutoIt options

Global / Local variables

Calls to functions that can be made before the GUI (if there is a GUI)

GUI Creation code

The GUI Loop

Functions

Edit Spelling and change code block to quote

Edit 2 Added the last item and modified the one above it to read properly
