WM_SIZE and control repositioning

[Skitty]

I have a condition where I must resize various controls manually and on the fly, the problem I am encountering is that you cannot resize the native autoit controls from the scope of the WM_SIZE registered function and seems to only be possible when registering it to execute after the function has exited.

How can I resize a control without having to use the adlibregister function?

I have noticed that this is not a very good method when another function is already running because the adlib registed function will wait to execute after everything else has compleated.

#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include<WindowsConstants.au3>

Global $UseAdlib = 0

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
Global $ui= GUICreate("",200,200,-1,-1,0x00070000)
GUISetOnEvent(-3, "_Exit")
GUICtrlCreateButton("SwitchMode",66,99,65,33)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1,"SwitchMode")
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_SIZE, "WM_SIZE")
Global $hbar= GUICtrlCreateInput("",4, 33,12,20)
GUISetState()

Sleep(1000000)

Func _Exit()
Exit
EndFunc

Func SwitchMode()
$UseAdlib = Not($UseAdlib)
Switch $UseAdlib
Case True
WinSetTitle($ui,"","Using AdlibRegister to resize input!")
Case False
WinSetTitle($ui,"","Attempting to resize input from inside WM_SIZE function!")
EndSwitch
EndFunc

Func WM_SIZE($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam)
#forceref $hwnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam
Switch $UseAdlib
Case True
AdlibRegister("_size",1)
Case False
_size()
EndSwitch
Return 'GUI_RUNDEFMSG'
EndFunc ;==>WM_SIZE

Func _size()
Local $Size = WinGetClientSize($ui)
ControlMove($ui, "",$hBar, 4, 33 , $Size[0] -8, 21)
AdlibUnRegister("_size")
EndFunc

Here is one more thing I took notice to, it will work if I do this...

#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include<WindowsConstants.au3>
Global $UseAdlib = 0
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
Global $ui= GUICreate("",200,200,-1,-1,0x00070000)
GUISetOnEvent(-3, "_Exit")
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_SIZE, "WM_SIZE")
Global $hbar= GUICtrlCreateInput("",4, 33,12,20)
GUISetState()
Sleep(1000000)
Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

Func WM_SIZE($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam)
    #forceref $hwnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam
    Return 'GUI_RUNDEFMSG'&_size()
EndFunc   ;==>WM_SIZE
Func _size()
    Local $Size = WinGetClientSize($ui)
    ControlMove($ui, "",$hBar, 4, 33 , $Size[0] -8, 21)
EndFunc

So I come to the conclusion that I need to figure out a way to send the 'GUI_RUNDEFMSG' string some other way and then proceed to do the adjustments to some controls manually from withing the function, how can I do this?

Is there a way to send the 'GUI_RUNDEFMSG' message manually without having to return from the function?

GUICtrlSetResizing

Func WM_SIZE($hWnd, $msg, $wParam, $lParam)
#forceref $Msg, $wParam
Local $w, $h
If $hWnd = $Gui Then
$w = BitAND($lParam, 0xFFFF) ; _WinAPI_LoWord
$h = BitShift($lParam, 16) ; _WinAPI_HiWord
_SetSizePos($w, $h)
EndIf

Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG
EndFunc

Func _SetSizePos($w, $h)
$w = $w - 200
$h = ($h - 130) / 2
GUICtrlSetPos($Pattern, 10, 104, $w, $h)
GUICtrlSetPos($Result, 10, $h + 120, $w, $h)
GUICtrlSetPos($LRes, 10, $h + 105)
EndFunc
