AndyS01 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 I'm trying to dynamically change the height of a ListView control and using _WinAPI_SetWindowPos() does not do anything. I am forced to create the listview with _GUICtrlListView_Create() because of other issues. I don't know of any other was to change a contoll's size dynamically. Here is a test script: expandcollapse popup#include <\AutoIT-src\myLib\MyDebug.au3> _DebugSetup(@ScriptName & "_debug.txt", False, 6, "D:\temp\x.log") ; 6 = Notepad; 2 = to console; 4 = to a file #include <GuiListView.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Opt("GUICloseOnESC", 1) ; ESC closes GUI Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) ; Change to OnEvent mode Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1) OnAutoItExitRegister("ExitStageLeft") Opt("GUIEventOptions", 1) ;0=default, 1=just notification, 2=GuiCtrlRead tab index Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", -2) ;1=start, 2=subStr, 3=exact, 4=advanced, -1 to -4=Nocase Global $hMainWin_hWnd Global $hListView_hWnd = 0 Global $iListView_ID = 0 Global $mwTitle = "" _Main() Exit (1) Func _Main() $mwTitle = "Test Script" $hMainWin_hWnd = GUICreate($mwTitle, 300, 500, 100, 100) $hListView_hWnd = [color=#ff0000]_GUICtrlListView_Create[/color]($hMainWin_hWnd, "lv", 5, 5, 300 - 50, 500 - 40) _DebugOut("+++: Listview handle: " & Hex($hListView_hWnd)) GUICtrlCreateButton("Higher", 10, 500 - 30, 50, 25) GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "higher") GUICtrlCreateButton("Lower", 60, 500 - 30, 50, 25) GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "lower") GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, 'ExitStageLeft') GUISetState() ; Make everything visible While (1) Sleep(250) WEnd Exit EndFunc ;==>_Main Func ExitStageLeft() Exit (1) EndFunc ;==>ExitStageLeft Func higher() changeHeight(20) EndFunc ;==>higher Func lower() changeHeight(-20) EndFunc ;==>lower Func changeHeight($dh) _DebugOut("+++: changeHeight(" & $dh & ") entered") Local $cur_h, $cur_w, $w, $h, $ret, $ar $ar = getWidthHeight() $cur_w = $ar[0] $cur_h = $ar[1] $h = $cur_h + $dh $w = $cur_w _DebugOut("+++: calling _WinAPI_SetWindowPos(" & Hex($hListView_hWnd) & ", 10, 10 , " & $w & ", " & $h & ", 0x200)") $ret =[color=#ff0000] _WinAPI_SetWindowPos[/color]($hListView_hWnd, -1, -1, -1, $w, $h, 0x200) ; 0x200 = $SWP_NOOWNERZORDER _DebugOut("+++: $ret after _WinAPI_SetWindowPos() = " & $ret) If (Not $ret) Then MsgBox(0, "ERROR", "_WinAPI_SetWindowPos(" & Hex($hListView_hWnd) & ", -1, -1 , " & $w & ", " & $h & ", 0x200) failed") Exit (1) EndIf $ar = getWidthHeight() If ($ar[0] == $cur_w) Or ($ar[1] == $cur_h) Then MsgBox(16, "ERROR", "Failed to change size at all") Exit (1) EndIf If ($ar[0] <> $w) Or ($ar[1] <> $h) Then MsgBox(16, "ERROR", "Failed to change size correctly") Exit (1) EndIf EndFunc ;==>changeHeight Func getWidthHeight() Local $ar[2] $ar[0] = _WinAPI_GetWindowWidth($hListView_hWnd) _DebugOut("+++: _WinAPI_GetWindowWidth(" & Hex($hListView_hWnd) & ") = " & $ar[0]) $ar[1] = _WinAPI_GetWindowHeight($hListView_hWnd) _DebugOut("+++: _WinAPI_GetWindowHeight(" & Hex($hListView_hWnd) & ") = " & $ar[1]) Return ($ar) EndFunc ;==>getWidthHeight
guinness Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 What about using WinMove instead?

BrewManNH Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 First of all, _WinAPI_SetWindowPos isn't going to affect a control, it looks like it's for windows only. Second, why must you use the _GUICtrlListView_Create function to make the listview? What are you trying to do with it that the native function won't do? If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

AndyS01 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 I tried WinMove() with the same results.
AndyS01 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Posted February 8, 2012 I need to use _GUICtrlListView_Create() due to a bug somewhere that causes strange results when mouse clicking on an item in the listview. I think I posted something about that sometime last year.
Moderators Melba23 Posted February 8, 2012 Moderators Posted February 8, 2012 AndyS01,If you actually allow the script to run rather than testing the results of the function, it works very nicely with WinMove as this script shows: expandcollapse popup#include <GuiListView.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Opt("GUICloseOnESC", 1) ; ESC closes GUI Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) ; Change to OnEvent mode Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1) OnAutoItExitRegister("ExitStageLeft") Opt("GUIEventOptions", 1) ;0=default, 1=just notification, 2=GuiCtrlRead tab index Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", -2) ;1=start, 2=subStr, 3=exact, 4=advanced, -1 to -4=Nocase Global $hMainWin_hWnd Global $hListView_hWnd = 0 Global $iListView_ID = 0 Global $mwTitle = "" _Main() While (1) Sleep(250) WEnd Exit (1) Func _Main() $mwTitle = "Test Script" $hMainWin_hWnd = GUICreate($mwTitle, 300, 500, 100, 100) GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, 'ExitStageLeft') GUISetBkColor(0xFFCCCC) $hListView_hWnd = _GUICtrlListView_Create($hMainWin_hWnd, "lv", 5, 5, 300 - 50, 500 - 40) _GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($hListView_hWnd, 0, 300 - 70) For $i = 1 To 50 _GUICtrlListView_AddItem($hListView_hWnd, "ListView Item " & $i) Next GUICtrlCreateButton("Higher", 10, 500 - 30, 50, 25) GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "higher") GUICtrlCreateButton("Lower", 60, 500 - 30, 50, 25) GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "lower") GUISetState() ; Make everything visible EndFunc ;==>_Main Func ExitStageLeft() Exit (1) EndFunc ;==>ExitStageLeft Func higher() changeHeight(20) EndFunc ;==>higher Func lower() changeHeight(-20) EndFunc ;==>lower Func changeHeight($dh) Local $ar = WinGetPos($hListView_hWnd) WinMove($hListView_hWnd, "", 5, 5, $ar[2], $ar[3] + $dh) EndFunc ;==>changeHeightDoes it work for you too?

AndyS01 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Posted February 9, 2012 Right. It all works now. Actually, it was working all along as you said, but I was getting bogus results when I looked to see if the size actually changed. I changed it to use _WinAPI_GetWindowPlacement() to get the size and it all checked out OK. I can resize and verify that the resize worked. I find it interesting that the first parameter to WinMove() is documented as the window title, but a window (or control) handle can also be used. Makes it really useful for resizing controls. Thanks for looking at this for me. Andy
ReFran Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Mmmh, I didn't read all, but for a own listview I use controlsetpos. Also have a look at the "default" keyword. A quick exctract from a bigger script: ;; get the position of the of the horizontal splitter of the left side mother GUI (sidbar with splitter) $hsPos = ControlGetPos($leftGUI,"",$hSplitter) DIM $hsl=$hsPos[0], $hst=$hsPos[1], $hsw=$hsPos[2], $hsh=$hsPos[3] ;; Change left sidebar listview position based on changes of the splitter GuiCTrlSetPos($leftGui_Listview1, 0, $hst+2+15+22,default,$lgh-$hst-15-8-22) HTH, Reinhard

Aaah,I start by standard with GuiCtrlCreate ... and use UDF only if I need it. So I didn't notice that.Thanks for enlightening, Reinhard Edited February 9, 2012 by ReFran
AdmiralAlkex Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 First of all, _WinAPI_SetWindowPos isn't going to affect a control, it looks like it's for windows only.Yes it will.A control is a child window that an application uses in conjunction with another window to enable user interaction.The difference you will notice is that window-functions uses window-coordinates and control-based client-coords .Some of my scripts: ShiftER, Codec-Control, Resolution switcher for HTC ShiftSome of my UDFs: SDL UDF, SetDefaultDllDirectories, Converting GDI+ Bitmap/Image to SDL Surface
