Auto3Info

[barrikid]

I am wondering if there is the code for the Finder Tool in Auto3Info. I know that the author won't show his code, but if there is a snippet that is like that code.

Basically, I need a small box like the Finder tool which you click, drag it over to a location, release the mouse, and then it would save the location. Mainly I don't know how to find when the mouse is released, and also I don't know what he used for the GUI

Thanks,

I have not seen the source however I created something like it called 'Control Handle under mouse' which you can find in my sig.

There is a freeze function in the Info Tool so it only works when you are moving the target, not the mouse. That may do what you wish.

barrikid,

You do not need the Au3Info code - this is really easy to code in AutoIt itself:

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

$hGUI = GUICreate("Position Test", 220, 50)

$hLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 10, 10, 100, 30)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 18)

GUISetState()

$hChild = GUICreate("X", 5, 5, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_POPUP,$WS_BORDER), $WS_EX_TOPMOST, $hGUI)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 0, 0, 5, 5, -1, $GUI_WS_EX_PARENTDRAG)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x00FF00)
GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYUP
            $aMpos = MouseGetPos()
            GUICtrlSetData($hLabel, $aMpos[0] & "x" & $aMpos[1])
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Just click on the small green GUI and drag it - when you let go of the mouse button, the mouse coordinates appear on the GUI.

This is pretty interesting, definitely a step forward

Thanks,
