Harribo Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Hi I have a simple question but I keep searching and still I dont have the solution. The question: How can I check if a window has an maximizebox (the square upper right)? greetings Harribo ps. From now on I can be away for 5 days, so it is possible that I can not immediately give an reaction
Moderators Melba23 Posted January 21, 2011 Moderators Posted January 21, 2011 Harribo,Just check the overall GUI style and see if the $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX style is included: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <Constants.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> Global $aGUI[3], $aStyle[3] $aGUI[1] = GUICreate("Static", 200, 200, 100, 100) GUISetState() $aGUI[2] = GUICreate("Maximizable", 200, 200, 300, 300, BitOr($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX)) GUISetState() For $i = 1 To 2 $iStyle = _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($aGUI[$i], $GWL_STYLE) ; Get GUI style value If BitAnd($iStyle, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX) Then ; Check if MaximizeBox is included ConsoleWrite("GUI " & $i & " has a Maximize Box" & @CRLF) Else ConsoleWrite("GUI " & $i & " does NOT have a Maximize Box" & @CRLF) EndIf Next While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEndPlease ask if anything is unclear.

Harribo Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 .... Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd [/autoit] Please ask if anything is unclear. M23 Thanks! Works like a charm! Could not get that win api clear.
Harribo Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) Now that I have checked wheter a window has a maximizebox, how can I check ,if a maximizebox present, if this is disabled or enabled? (I am working on a script which maximizes windows. But certain windows I dont want to maximize. Like those windows without a maximizebox or with maximizebox disabled.)

Moderators Melba23 Posted February 2, 2011 Moderators Posted February 2, 2011 Harribo, You could take another way to solve this - just limit the size of the GUI: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> Global $GUIMINWID = 300, $GUIMINHT = 100;set your restrictions here Global $GUIMAXWID = 800, $GUIMAXHT = 500 GUIRegisterMsg($WM_GETMINMAXINFO, "WM_GETMINMAXINFO") $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500, -1, -1, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, $WS_SIZEBOX)) GUISetState() $aPos = WinGetPos($hGUI) While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_MAXIMIZE WinMove($hGUI, "", $aPos[0], $aPos[1]) Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd Func WM_GETMINMAXINFO($hwnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam) $tagMaxinfo = DllStructCreate("int;int;int;int;int;int;int;int;int;int", $lParam) DllStructSetData($tagMaxinfo, 7, $GUIMINWID) ; min X DllStructSetData($tagMaxinfo, 8, $GUIMINHT) ; min Y DllStructSetData($tagMaxinfo, 9, $GUIMAXWID ); max X DllStructSetData($tagMaxinfo, 10, $GUIMAXHT ) ; max Y Return 0 EndFunc ;==>WM_GETMINMAXINFO Is that a help?

I appreciate your code but I really want to check wheter a window has a maximizebox and is dis/en-abled. Maybe you can help me by giving me the procedure or winapi to look for? Thanks for you reply.
Harribo Posted February 3, 2011 Author Posted February 3, 2011 I figured out that when a window has a maximizebox disabled it is often the case that the window is not resizable. I think it is easier to look for that solution.
Harribo Posted February 9, 2011 Author Posted February 9, 2011 Really no one?? Is there really no function to check this? Edit: I found this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/311399/determining-if-the-maximize-button-is-available But I am not expert enough to integrate this into AutoIt3. I tried to edit and add commands to the file WinAPI.au3 in the Include map. Anyone handy with this?
Moderators Melba23 Posted February 9, 2011 Moderators Posted February 9, 2011 Harribo, You have not liked any of my other suggestions, so let us see if this one fares better: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #Include <GUIMenu.au3> $hGUI = GUICreate("Maximize Enabled", 500, 500, -1, -1, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX)) GUISetState() Check_Max() While 1 If GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop WEnd $hGUI = GUICreate("Maximize Disabled") $hMenu = _GUICtrlMenu_GetSystemMenu($hGUI) _GUICtrlMenu_EnableMenuItem($hMenu, $SC_MAXIMIZE, $MF_GRAYED, False) GUISetState() Check_Max() While 1 If GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit WEnd Func Check_Max() $hMenu = _GUICtrlMenu_GetSystemMenu($hGUI) $iState = _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemState($hMenu, $SC_MAXIMIZE, False) ConsoleWrite($iState & @CRLF) If BitAnd($iState, 12) Then ConsoleWrite("Maximize Disabled" & @CRLF) Else ConsoleWrite("Maximize Enabled" & @CRLF) EndIf EndFunc Any good?

M23 I really really really appreciate your posts !!! (Convinced now?) I do not work every day on this project so I try to forget sometimes to react in time. But, I tried your code and it unfortenately it does not 100% work. I tested this code with the Windows program mstsc.exe (connect to external desktop). It gives State=0 back when calling _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemState (instead of 12). I have some idea the wrong parameters are passed but did not have time yet to figure it completely out. Soon I will. Much thanks for the code.
