[SOLVED] WinGetPos not returning consistent results.


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

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.
