I have very limited when it comes to C. I am assuming for this post C#, C, C++ are all very similar. Making my post here valid :)

I am looking to convert some C# "lest i think it is c# :)" into autoit.

**Extra Information. This is C# code which is ment to be able to move a windows 7 Taskbar. Something to do with Calling SHAppBarMessage with ABM_SETPOS. That idea lead to the link below.

Original Code

[DllImport("User32.dll", ExactSpelling=true,
CharSet=System.Runtime.InteropServices.CharSet.Aut o)]
private static extern bool MoveWindow(IntPtr hWnd, int x, int y, int cx,
int cy, bool repaint);

[DllImport("Shell32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto)]
private static extern int SHAppBarMessage(int dwMessage, ref
APP_BAR_DATA abd);

private const int ABM_NEW = 0x00;
private const int ABM_REMOVE = 0x01;
private const int ABM_QUERYPOS = 0x02;
private const int ABM_SETPOS = 0x03;
private const int ABM_SETAUTOHIDEBAR = 0x08;
private const int ABM_SETSTATE = 0x0000000a;
private const int ABE_LEFT = 0;
private const int ABE_TOP = 1;
private const int ABE_RIGHT = 2;
private const int ABE_BOTTOM = 3;
private const int ABS_AUTOHIDE = 0x01;
private const int ABS_ALWAYSONTOP = 0x02;

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
private struct APP_BAR_DATA
{
public int cbSize;
public IntPtr hWnd;

}

public static RECT FromXYWH(int x, int y, int width, int height)
{

}
}

internal static void DockAppBar(IntPtr hWnd, int edge, Size idealSize)
{

abd.cbSize = Marshal.SizeOf(abd);
abd.hWnd = hWnd;

if (edge == ABE_LEFT || edge == ABE_RIGHT)
{
abd.rc.top = 0;
abd.rc.bottom = SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize.Height;
if (edge == ABE_LEFT)
{
abd.rc.right = idealSize.Width;
}
else
{

}
else

}
else
{

}
}

// Query the system for an approved size and position.
SHAppBarMessage(ABM_QUERYPOS, ref abd);

// Adjust the rectangle, depending on the edge to which the
// appbar is anchored.
switch (edge)
{
case ABE_LEFT:

break;
}

// Pass the final bounding rectangle to the system.
SHAppBarMessage(ABM_SETPOS, ref abd);

// Move and size the appbar so that it conforms to the
// bounding rectangle passed to the system.
MoveWindow(abd.hWnd, abd.rc.left, abd.rc.top, abd.rc.right -
abd.rc.left, abd.rc.bottom - abd.rc.top, true);
}

My Attempt so far.

My Old Code i used to move the taskbar hoping to replace with this C#

$TaskBarLocation=WinGetPos('[Class:Shell_TrayWnd]')

If $TaskBarLocation[0]>960 then ;Move right to left
MoveTaskbar(1920,-1920,-10)
ElseIf $TaskBarLocation[0]<960 then ;Move left to right
MoveTaskbar(-2,3840,1930)
endif

Func MoveTaskbar($PrimPos,$SecPos,$ThirPos)
$MouseTaskbar = Mousegetpos()
Mousemove($PrimPos,975,0)
MouseDown('')
MouseMove($SecPos,1080,1)
MouseMove($ThirPos,975,0)
MouseUp('')
MouseMove($MouseTaskbar[0],$MouseTaskbar[1],0)
endfunc

What kind of data type is

Size idealSize

?

Can you show me how it's defined?

EDIT: I suppose your code should be something like this

@Andreik. I honestly dont know. I double checked the site in the link, "which is where i got the orginal code" but drew blanks.

as from what i can gather you have to declare the "state" of a variable. Maybe its a typo mistake ?. I see lines like

abd.rc.right = idealSize.Width;

abd.rc.left = abd.rc.right - idealSize.Width;

abd.rc.bottom = idealSize.Height;

abd.rc.top = abd.rc.bottom - idealSize.Height;

case ABE_LEFT:

abd.rc.right = abd.rc.left + idealSize.Width;

break;

case ABE_RIGHT:

abd.rc.left= abd.rc.right - idealSize.Width;

break;

case ABE_TOP:

abd.rc.bottom = abd.rc.top + idealSize.Height;

break;

case ABE_BOTTOM:

abd.rc.top = abd.rc.bottom - idealSize.Height;

break;

Maybe it's better to tell us what exactly you try do do and maybe we can provide you a better solution then converting code from C# to AutoIt.

The only piece of AutoIt you would need from that is a working call to SHAppBarMessage, the rest is just to make the C# more clear or to simulate functionality that AutoIt provides out of the box. WinMove is essentially MoveWindow with some additional AutoIt-specific logic.

Fortunately you're not the first to ever need SHAppBarMessage in AutoIt:

(thought it's old and requires some polish).

Aye but from my research into the forums some-people have tryed ShAppBarMessage to move the taskbar and failed.

Kafu was the one who found the link in my orginal post which is why i am going down this wrote tryin to conver it into autoit. Was my reasoning wrong ?

Ah, some history:

No, you're definitely not wrong, although the principle the C# code demonstrates is worth more than a straight up line-by-line copy of the C# code. Ultimately you only want to do:

SHAppBarMessage(ABM_QUERYPOS, ...)
SHAppBarMessage(ABM_SETPOS, ...)
WinMove(...)

Finding some proven working AutoIt code to call SHAppBarMessage is the most logical step.

Ok. So trying to bring eveything togeather we have the code from post 2#

Global Const $ABM_NEW = 0x00
Global Const $ABM_REMOVE = 0x01
Global Const $ABM_QUERYPOS = 0x02
Global Const $ABM_SETPOS = 0x03
Global Const $ABM_SETAUTOHIDEBAR = 0x08
Global Const $ABM_SETSTATE = 0x0000000a
Global Const $ABE_LEFT = 0
Global Const $ABE_TOP = 1
Global Const $ABE_RIGHT = 2
Global Const $ABE_BOTTOM = 3
Global Const $ABS_AUTOHIDE = 0x01
Global Const $ABS_ALWAYSONTOP = 0x02

Global Const $tagSize = "long Width; long Height"
Global Const $tagRECT = "long Left;long Top;long Right;long Bottom;"
Global Const $tagAPPBARDATA = "DWORD cbSize;HWND hWnd;UINT uCallbackMessage;UINT uEdge;" & $tagRECT & "LPARAM lParam;"

Global $abd
Global $IdealSize = DllStructCreate($tagSize)

DllStructSetData($idealSize,"Widht","DesiredValue") ; <<-------- PUT YOUR VALUE HERE
DllStructSetData($idealSize,"Height","DesiredValue") ; <<-------- PUT YOUR VALUE HERE

Func DockAppBar($hWnd,$Edge,$IdealSize) ; In your code this function is defined but never called ??
$abd = DllStructCreate($tagAPPBARDATA)
DllStructSetData($abd,"cbSize",DllStructGetSize($abd))
DllStructSetData($abd,"hWnd",$hWnd)
DllStructSetData($abd,"uEdge",$Edge)
If ($Edge = $ABE_LEFT) Or ($Edge = $ABE_RIGHT) Then
DllStructSetData($abd,"Top",0)
DllStructSetData($abd,"Bottom",@DesktopHeight)
If $Edge = $ABE_LEFT Then
DllStructSetData($abd,"Right",DllStructGetData($idealSize,"Width"))
Else
DllStructSetData($abd,"Right",@DesktopWidth)
DllStructSetData($abd,"Left",@DesktopWidth-DllStructGetData($idealSize,"Width"))
EndIf
Else
DllStructSetData($abd,"Left",0)
DllStructSetData($abd,"Right",@DesktopWidth)
If $Edge = $ABE_TOP Then
DllStructSetData($abd,"Bottom",DllStructGetData($idealSize,"Height"))
Else
DllStructSetData($abd,"Bottom",@DesktopHeight)
DllStructSetData($abd,"Top",@DesktopHeight-DllStructGetData($idealSize,"Height"))
EndIf
EndIf
EndFunc

DllCall("shell32.dll","UINT_PTR","SHAppBarMessage","DWORD",$ABM_QUERYPOS,"ptr",DllStructGetPtr($abd))

Switch DllStructGetData($abd,"uEdge")
Case $ABE_LEFT
DllStructSetData($abd,"Right",DllStructGetData($abd,"Left") + DllStructGetData($idealSize,"Width"))
Case $ABE_RIGHT
DllStructSetData($abd,"Left",DllStructGetData($abd,"Right") - DllStructGetData($idealSize,"Width"))
Case $ABE_TOP
DllStructSetData($abd,"Bottom",DllStructGetData($abd,"Top") + DllStructGetData($idealSize,"Height"))
Case $ABE_BOTTOM
DllStructSetData($abd,"Top",DllStructGetData($abd,"Bottom") - DllStructGetData($idealSize,"Height"))
EndSwitch

DllCall("shell32.dll","UINT_PTR","SHAppBarMessage","DWORD",$ABM_SETPOS,"ptr",DllStructGetPtr($abd))

WinMove(DllStructGetData($abd,"hWnd"),"",DllStructGetData($abd,"Left"),DllStructGetData($abd,"Top"), _
DllStructGetData($abd,"Right") - DllStructGetData($abd,"Left"), _
DllStructGetData($abd,"Bottom") - DllStructGetData($abd,"Top"))

The code belows is able to tell if the taskbar is autohidden or always on top.

Global Const $ABS_ALWAYSONTOP = 0x2
Global Const $ABS_AUTOHIDE = 0x1
$result = _GetTaskBarState()
If BitAND($result,$ABS_ALWAYSONTOP) = $ABS_ALWAYSONTOP Then ConsoleWrite("ALWAYSONTOP" & @LF)
If BitAND($result,$ABS_AUTOHIDE) = $ABS_AUTOHIDE Then ConsoleWrite("AUTOHIDE" & @LF)

Func _GetTaskBarState()
Global Const $ABM_GETSTATE = 0x4
$h_taskbar = WinGetHandle("","Start")
$AppBarData = DllStructCreate("dword;int;uint;uint;int;int;int;int;int")
;~ DWORD cbSize;
;~ HWND hWnd;
;~ UINT uCallbackMessage;
;~ UINT uEdge;
;~ RECT rc;
;~ LPARAM lParam;
DllStructSetData($AppBarData,1,DllStructGetSize($AppBarData))
DllStructSetData($AppBarData,2,$h_taskbar)
$lResult = DllCall("shell32.dll","int","SHAppBarMessage","int",$ABM_GETSTATE,"ptr",DllStructGetPtr($AppBarData))
If Not @error Then
If $lResult[0] Then Return $lResult[0]
EndIf
SetError(1)
Return 0
EndFunc

The code below shows how you can get the hwnd, size, left, top, right, bottom using a SMessage.

Global Const $ABM_QUERYPOS = 0x2 ; Requests a size and screen position for an appbar.

Now i had an interseting idea, which is failed which is below.

I looked though all sets of code but truth be told it doesnt make much sense to me but i figured the code from spoiler 3. Gets all the infromation about the taskbar in $ptAPPBARDATA which is a DLLStruct that can be used with a DLLCall.

So i tryed this.

Global Const $ABM_SETPOS = 0x3 ; Sets the size and screen position of an appbar.

Global Const $ABM_GETTASKBARPOS = 0x5 ; Retrieves the bounding rectangle of the Windows taskbar.
Global Const $ABM_GETAUTOHIDEBAR = 0x7 ; Retrieves the handle to the autohide appbar associated with a particular edge of the screen.
Global Const $ABM_SETAUTOHIDEBAR = 0x8 ; Registers or unregisters an autohide appbar for an edge of the screen.
Global Const $ABM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED = 0x9 ; Notifies the system when an appbar's position has changed.
Global Const $ABM_SETSTATE = 0xA ; Windows XP and later: Sets the state of the appbar's autohide and always-on-top attributes.

; AppBar Edges

Global Const $ABE_BOTTOM = 0x3

Global Const $ABS_MANUAL = 0x0

DllCall("shell32.dll","UINT_PTR","SHAppBarMessage","DWORD",$ABM_SETPOS,"ptr",DllStructGetPtr($tAPPBARDATA))

WinMove("[Class:Shell_TrayWnd]", "", 1920, 0, 2200, 1080)

If the idea was the orginal code gets the all the infromation with. SHAppBarMessage(ABM_QUERYPOS, ...). Then waits 5 seconds, i move the taskbar to a different location. I then use

ABM_SETPOS, ...)

WinMove(...)

To set it back to its orginal location but it didn't work.
