GuiCreate & WinGetPos

[ValeryVal]

There is script:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>

; Gui variables
Global $hWndValid, $hWndInValid
Global $WinW = 500, $WinH = 400
Global $Title = "Test of GUICreate"

; Create GUI window
$hWndValid = GUICreate($Title, $WinW, $WinH, 0, 0, $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW)

;get GUI sizes
$Pos = WinGetPos($Title, "")
$Label0 = GuiCtrlCreateLabel(" Gui was created by GuiCreate:", 80, 20, $WinW - 80, 20)
$Label1 = GuiCtrlCreateLabel(" $WinW = " & $WinW & " $WinH = " & $WinH, 80, 50, $WinW - 80, 20)
$Label2 = GuiCtrlCreateLabel(" However it returns by WinGetPos", 80, 80, $WinW - 80, 20)
$Label3 = GuiCtrlCreateLabel(" $Pos[2] = " & $Pos[2] & " $Pos[3] = " & $Pos[3], 80, 110, $WinW - 80, 20)
;resize GUI
WinMove ($Title, "", 0, 0, $WinW, $WinH)

;get GUI sizes once more
$Pos = WinGetPos($Title, "")
$Label0 = GuiCtrlCreateLabel(" Now Gui was resized by WinMove:", 80, 150, $WinW - 80, 20)
$Label1 = GuiCtrlCreateLabel(" $WinW = " & $WinW & " $WinH = " & $WinH, 80, 180, $WinW - 80, 20)
$Label2 = GuiCtrlCreateLabel(" and it returns  by WinGetPos", 80, 210, $WinW - 80, 20)
$Label3 = GuiCtrlCreateLabel(" $Pos[2] = " & $Pos[2] & " $Pos[3] = " & $Pos[3], 80, 240, $WinW - 80, 20)
GUISetState()

GUISetState()
While 1
  $Msg = GUIGetMsg(1)
  Switch $Msg[0]
   Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    Exit
   Case else
  EndSwitch
WEnd

The size of GUI moved is different than after GuiCreate. Why?

This is GUI shot.

ValeryVal,

GUICreate sets the size of the client area of the GUI - the useful area less the borders and title bar. The Win* functions affect the whole GUI not just the client area.

Here is your script slightly modified to explain what is happening - look in the SciTE console for the data:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

; Gui variables
Global $hWndValid, $hWndInValid
Global $WinW = 500, $WinH = 400
Global $Title = "Test of GUICreate"

; Create GUI window
$hWndValid = GUICreate($Title, $WinW, $WinH)

;get GUI sizes
$Pos = WinGetPos($Title, "")
$Client = WinGetClientSize($Title, "")
ConsoleWrite("Gui was created by GuiCreate:" & @CRLF & _
        "$WinW = " & $WinW & " $WinH = " & $WinH & @CRLF & _
        "However it returns by WinGetPos:" & @CRLF & _
        "$Pos[2] = " & $Pos[2] & " $Pos[3] = " & $Pos[3] & @CRLF & _
        "But the client size is still:" & @CRLF & _
        "$Client[1] = " & $Client[0] & " $Client[1] = " & $Client[1] & @CRLF & @CRLF)

;resize GUI
WinMove($Title, "", 0, 0, $WinW, $WinH)

;get GUI sizes once more
$Pos = WinGetPos($Title, "")
$Client = WinGetClientSize($Title, "")
ConsoleWrite("Now Gui was resized by WinMove:" & @CRLF & _
        "$WinW = " & $WinW & " $WinH = " & $WinH & @CRLF & _
        "And it returns by WinGetPos:" & @CRLF & _
        "$Pos[2] = " & $Pos[2] & " $Pos[3] = " & $Pos[3] & @CRLF & _
        "But the client size is now only:" & @CRLF & _
        "$Client[1] = " & $Client[0] & " $Client[1] = " & $Client[1] & @CRLF & @CRLF)

GUISetState()
While 1
    $Msg = GUIGetMsg(1)
    Switch $Msg[0]
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case Else
    EndSwitch
WEnd

All clear?

All clear?

Yes. It's clear.

It's dark with AutoIt Help having the following (GuiCreate description):

width [optional] The width of the window.

height [optional] The height of the window.

Thank you for respond
