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

ps. From now on I can be away for 5 days, so it is possible that I can not immediately give an reaction

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
WEnd

Please ask if anything is unclear. :)

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.)

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.

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?

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? :)

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.
