how to add a button next to the minimize button?

golfinhu,

Just to give you the idea, this adds a button to your SciTE GUI when you run it: :>

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

Global $sMain_Title = "[CLASS:SciTEWindow]"
Global $hSciTE_Wnd = WinGetHandle($sMain_Title)
Global $hScite_Dir_Wnd = WinGetHandle("DirectorExtension")

Global $iSciTE_Last_X, $iSciTE_Last_Y, $hButtonGUI, $hButton

_Button_Create()
_Button_Follow()

While 1

    ; Check SciTE is running
    If ProcessExists("SciTE.exe") Then
        ; Move button as required
        _Button_Follow()
    Else
        Exit
    EndIf

    If GUIGetMsg() = $hButton Then
        MsgBox(0, "Hi!", "Added button clicked")
    EndIf

WEnd

Func _Button_Create()

    ; Locate SciTE window
    Local $aSciTE_Pos = WinGetPos($hSciTE_Wnd)
    Local $iX = $aSciTE_Pos[0] + $aSciTE_Pos[2] - 130
    Local $iY = $aSciTE_Pos[1] + 10

    ; Create button GUI
    $hButtonGUI = GUICreate("SciTE Button", 30, 16, $iX, $iY, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW, $hSciTE_Wnd)

    ; Set button GUI in z-order just above SciTE
    DllCall("user32.dll", "bool", "SetWindowPos", "hwnd", $hButtonGUI, "hwnd", $hSciTE_Wnd, "int", $iX, "int", $iY, "int", 30, "int", 16, "uint", 0x0010) ; $SWP_NOACTIVATE

    ; Create button
    $hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("+", 0, 0, 30, 16)
    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 18)

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hButtonGUI)

    ; Reset SciTE window focus
    WinActivate($hSciTE_Wnd)

EndFunc   ;==>_Button_Create

Func _Button_Follow()

    ; Check if SciTE exists
    Local $aSciTE_Pos = WinGetPos($hSciTE_Wnd)
    If @error Then Return
    ; Check SciTE position
    If $aSciTE_Pos[0] <> $iSciTE_Last_X Or $aSciTE_Pos[1] <> $iSciTE_Last_Y Then
        $iSciTE_Last_X = $aSciTE_Pos[0]
        $iSciTE_Last_Y = $aSciTE_Pos[1]
        ; Move button to follow
        WinMove($hButtonGUI, '', $aSciTE_Pos[0] + $aSciTE_Pos[2] - 130, $aSciTE_Pos[1] + 10)
    EndIf

EndFunc   ;==>_Button_Follow

You may need to adjust the position a bit depending on the style you use for your GUIs. You will see that the button disappears and reappears when SciTE is minimzed and restored and that the script exits when SciTE closes. ;)

Please ask if you have any questions. :unsure:

That's a good example Melba23. I didn't realize that setting the z order that way kept the relative z order of the 2 windows. Thanks.(Struck out - see post 10)

BTW I think you need to have

Func _Button_Follow()

    ; Check if SciTE exists
    Local $aSciTE_Pos = WinGetPos($hSciTE_Wnd)
    If @error Then Return
    ; Check SciTE position
    If $aSciTE_Pos[0]  + $aSciTE_Pos[2] <> $iSciTE_Last_X Or $aSciTE_Pos[1] <> $iSciTE_Last_Y Then
        $iSciTE_Last_X = $aSciTE_Pos[0] + $aSciTE_Pos[2]
        $iSciTE_Last_Y = $aSciTE_Pos[1]
        ; Move button to follow
        WinMove($hButtonGUI, '', $aSciTE_Pos[0] + $aSciTE_Pos[2] - 130, $aSciTE_Pos[1] + 10)
    EndIf

EndFunc   ;==>_Button_Follow

I agree with Martin. Shame this can't be done with _WinAPI Commands, but all in all a great alternative :unsure:

martin,

As long as you use the same value for both instances:

If $aSciTE_Pos[0] + $aSciTE_Pos[2] <> $iSciTE_Last_X Or $aSciTE_Pos[1] <> $iSciTE_Last_Y Then

$iSciTE_Last_X = $aSciTE_Pos[0] + $aSciTE_Pos[2]

I do not think it matters whether you use $aSciTE_Pos[0] or $aSciTE_Pos[0] + $aSciTE_Pos[2] - all you are looking for is a change in the position of a point of the SciTE GUI.

You are quite correct - thanks for pointing it out. :unsure:

guinness,

I will take that as agreement with the "good example" rather than "BTW I think you need"! ;)

yeah, good logic, I broke my head too but I could not think of anything!

but it worked perfectly!

thanks for the code, and thanks for helping me again!

I will take that as agreement with the "good example" rather than "BTW I think you need"!

It did come across as the classic "It's great but.....it good be better" sentence :unsure: But of course I was being genuine and honest!

Sorry Melba23! Decided to have a little play around with your code and came up with this alternative >>

The button positions are adjusted to work in Windows 7, it will also move relatively according to if the Window is maximised or not. I also made the GUI transparent. I also couldn't work out why you used "SetWindowPos" >> _WinAPI_SetWindowPos(), because the code works without this Function. :unsure:

martin,

As long as you use the same value for both instances:

If $aSciTE_Pos[0] + $aSciTE_Pos[2] <> $iSciTE_Last_X Or $aSciTE_Pos[1] <> $iSciTE_Last_Y Then

$iSciTE_Last_X = $aSciTE_Pos[0] + $aSciTE_Pos[2]

I do not think it matters whether you use $aSciTE_Pos[0] or $aSciTE_Pos[0] + $aSciTE_Pos[2] - all you are looking for is a change in the position of a point of the SciTE GUI.

M23

if you resize the window by making it less wide then the button is left out in space if you don't use the right-hand edge of the scite window so I thought it mattered.

EDit: I see I misunderstood how the button kept it's z order. It wasn't the WInSetPos it was because you had made it a child of the Scite window. Silly me.

martin,

Now you explain it like that I can see that you are quite right - the code from which I developed that script referred to a toolbar linked to the left hand edge of a GUI so I was only interested in the left hand corner.

My apologies. :unsure:

guinness,

The SetWindowPos line sets the GUI containing the new button immediately above the target GUI in the z-order - so it always appears above the GUI regardless of where the GUI itself is in the z-order. I imagine that the SetLayeredWindowAttributes call places the button within the target GUI and so makes the z-order placement redundant. Perhaps someone with more knowledge of this area can confirm - or more likely give the correct explanation. :>
