Recommended Posts

While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                MsgBox(0, "", "Dialog was closed")
                Exit
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE
                MsgBox(0, "", "Dialog minimized", 2)
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_MAXIMIZE
                MsgBox(0, "", "Dialog restored", 2)

            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_RESIZED
                ConsoleWrite("Event fired " & $frmMain)

        EndSelect
    WEnd

TheCurrent,

It works for me: :)

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

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500, -1, -1, BitOr($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI,  $WS_SIZEBOX))

GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $GUI_EVENT_RESIZED
            ConsoleWrite("Resized" & @CRLF)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

TheCurrent,

If you use the GUIGetMsg loop to detect the resizing event, then you can use WinGetPos to get the new size of the GUI once the resizing is complete. You can also use a GUIRegisterMsg event handler to detect the resize and get the changing size as it occurs - if you are not too familiar with this, I recommend the GUIRegisterMsg tutorial in the Wiki. :P

This script uses both methods: :)

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

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500, -1, -1, BitOr($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, $WS_SIZEBOX))

GUISetState()
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_SIZE, "_WM_SIZE")

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $GUI_EVENT_RESIZED
            $aPos = WinGetPos($hGUI)
            ConsoleWrite("Resized to " & $aPos[2] & " - " & $aPos[3] & " <<<<<<<<<<<<" & @CRLF)

    EndSwitch

WEnd

Func _WM_SIZE($hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam)

    $iGUIWidth = BitAND($lParam, 0xFFFF)
    $iGUIHeight = BitShift($lParam, 16)
    ConsoleWrite("Resizing to " & $iGUIWidth & " - " & $iGUIHeight & @CRLF)

    Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG

EndFunc   ;==>_WM_SIZE

And before you ask, the values are not identical as WinGetPos includes the borders and title bar whereas the return from the handler is the client area. :)

But looking back at your first post, why not use GUICtrlSetResizing to get yoru controls to resize automatically? That is what the function is there for! :D
