help needed with re editing a form

[Tiboi]

hi all. is it possible to re-size a form while its open through the click of a button?

i have no code for this cause i could get no info on how to do it.

here is what i want to do:

1. this is the normal form

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form2 = GUICreate("Form1", 155, 122, 653, 431)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Redesign", 40, 88, 75, 25)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input1", 16, 8, 121, 21)
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input2", 16, 32, 121, 21)
$Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Combo1", 16, 64, 121, 25, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWN,$CBS_AUTOHSCROLL))
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

2. when i press the button i want to do this:

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form2 = GUICreate("Form1", 155, 202, 653, 431)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Redesign", 40, 168, 75, 25)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input1", 16, 8, 121, 21)
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input2", 16, 32, 121, 21)
$Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Combo1", 16, 144, 121, 25, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWN,$CBS_AUTOHSCROLL))
$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 16, 64, 121, 73)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Edit1")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1

Doesn't work as well as I wish, but it should stand as a basic starting point for you.

expandcollapse popup

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$large = False

$Form2 = GUICreate("Form1", 155, 122, 653, 431)

$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Redesign", 40, 88, 75, 25)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input1", 16, 8, 121, 21)
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input2", 16, 32, 121, 21)
$Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Combo1", 16, 64, 121, 25, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWN,$CBS_AUTOHSCROLL))
$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 16, 64, 121, 73)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Edit1")
GUICtrlSetState (-1, $GUI_HIDE + $GUI_DISABLE)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Button1
            _Redesign()
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _Redesign()
    If $large = False Then
        WinMove ($Form2, "", Default, Default, 155, 202)
        GUICtrlSetPos ($Button1, 40, 168)
        GUICtrlSetPos ($Combo1, 16, 144)
        GUICtrlSetState ($Edit1, $GUI_SHOW + $GUI_ENABLE)
        $large = True
    Else
        WinMove ($Form2, "", Default, Default, 155, 122)
        GUICtrlSetPos ($Button1, 40, 88)
        GUICtrlSetPos ($Combo1, 16, 64)
        GUICtrlSetState ($Edit1, $GUI_HIDE + $GUI_DISABLE)
        $large = False
    EndIf
EndFunc

Cheers,

You may resize any GUI with WinMove. For docking GUI elements in some place, keeping same size you could use GUICtrlSetResizing.
