Problem with embed browser and guicoordmode


Recommended Posts

I'm using the sample provided in the help file for creating my own browser. I want to record coordinates the user clicks later on, but I'm experimenting with the GUICoordMode so that I can better understand how it works. When I set the mode to 1, everything works fine, but when I set the mode to 0 all the buttons except for 1 disappears.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm trying my best to learn from the help file, but I'm stuck on this one.

With different modes, you will need to alter the coords in your code

Im no gui whizzkid, but you certainly are best providing an example to better get help

Only advice I could give is keep it set to 1 :mellow:

Well, I wanted it to use the coordinates in the window and not from the screen, so that the gui could be moved around.

I just don't understand why that would break displaying the buttons from the browser demo. Strange, but I'm sure someone understands it.

Because guicoordmode looks to me like thats what its for, like for creating your gui rather that its functionality.

the controls should always move with your gui or you are doing something fundimentaly wrong.

followgeo,

All the GUICoordMode does is to alter how you define the position of your controls. :mellow:

If you leave it at 1 (the default) you define the controls relative to the GUI in which you creating the controls:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

; Relative to GUI
GUICtrlCreateButton("one", 10, 10, 80, 30)
GUICtrlCreateButton("two", 10, 50, 80, 30)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch

WEnd

If you change it to 0, the control is positioned relative to the previous control:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

; Relative to GUI
GUICtrlCreateButton("one", 10, 10, 80, 30)
Opt("GUICoordMode", 0)
GUICtrlCreateButton("two", 0, 40, 80, 30)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch

WEnd

See the difference? In the first example, the coords are:

10, 10
10, 50

In the second:

10, 10 ; Stil the same because you need one control to anchor the others!
0, 40  ; same x coord (10) - add 40 to y coord (50)

Try changing the positon of the "one" button in each case. In the first examplw, "two" stays where it was - in the second it follows "one".

Does that help? If not, do as JohnOne has suggested and post the code which is giving you problems. :P

Ok, maybe I'm understanding the purpose of the GuiCoordMode. I thought that would tell it how to calculate coordinates. I would like the coordinates for mouse clicks to be calculated based on the gui and not on the entire screen. I hope I have my terminology correct (still learning).

followgeo,

You need MouseCoordMode for that!
