jaberwacky Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) I have WinGetPos("Name of Script") in a script to tell me the size of the window height upon exit. However, a different height is returned even though I haven't resized the gui. Have any of you run across this issue? I'm using 3.3.9.4 on Win7 Pro 64. When I use this syntax WinGetPos("Name of Script")[3] then I use alpha 3.3.9.5. To clarify, every time I close the script the height returned by the function keeps growing larger by about twenty pixels.

BrewManNH Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 When you create a window, your dimensions don't include the title bar, when you resize it according to what WinGetPos gives you (which includes the title bar) it makes the new window 20 pixels larger because your dimensions of the client area is being resized to the actual window size instead of just the client area. At least that's how I believe it is working, I've encountered this before. 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.

jaberwacky Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Ahhh, yes. That would explain it! Okies, so just minus twenty from the return value. Thanks bunches BrewManNH. Edit: I'm trying to make a script that remembers the last height and so I minus 38 from the result of WinGetPos and that did the trick just fine.
