Convert C# into autoit.

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

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

Can you show me how it's defined?

@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;

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#

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

Global Const $ABS_ALWAYSONTOP = 0x2

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.

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.

; AppBar Messages
Global Const $ABM_QUERYPOS = 0x2 ; Requests a size and screen position for an appbar.
Global Const $ABM_SETPOS = 0x3 ; Sets the size and screen position of an appbar.
Global Const $ABM_GETSTATE = 0x4 ; Retrieves the autohide and always-on-top states of the Windows taskbar.
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_LEFT = 0x0
Global Const $ABE_TOP = 0x1
Global Const $ABE_RIGHT = 0x2
Global Const $ABE_BOTTOM = 0x3

; AppBar States
Global Const $ABS_MANUAL = 0x0
Global Const $ABS_AUTOHIDE = 0x1
Global Const $ABS_ALWAYSONTOP = 0x2
Global Const $ABS_AUTOHIDEANDONTOP = 0x3


Global $tagRECT = "LONG left; LONG top; LONG right; LONG bottom"
Global $tagAPPBARDATA = "DWORD cbSize;HWND hWnd;UINT uCallbackMessage;UINT uEdge;" & $tagRECT & ";LPARAM lParam"

Global $tAPPBARDATA = DllStructCreate($tagAPPBARDATA)
Global $ptAPPBARDATA = DllStructGetPtr($tAPPBARDATA)

Global $hAPPBAR = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:Shell_TrayWnd]", "") ; Get handle of taskbar

DllStructSetData($tAPPBARDATA, "hWnd", $hAPPBAR) ; Set handle to taskbar
DllStructSetData($tAPPBARDATA, "cbSize", DllStructGetSize($tAPPBARDATA)) ; Set size of struct
DllCall("Shell32.dll", "int", "SHAppBarMessage", "int", $ABM_GETTASKBARPOS, "ptr", $ptAPPBARDATA)

Global $sMsg = "hWnd = " & DllStructGetData($tAPPBARDATA, "hWnd") & @CRLF & _
"cbSize = " & DllStructGetData($tAPPBARDATA, "cbSize") & @CRLF & _
"RECT:" & @CRLF & _
@TAB & "left = " & DllStructGetData($tAPPBARDATA, "left") & @CRLF & _
@TAB & "top = " & DllStructGetData($tAPPBARDATA, "top") & @CRLF & _
@TAB & "right = " & DllStructGetData($tAPPBARDATA, "right") & @CRLF & _
@TAB & "bottom = " & DllStructGetData($tAPPBARDATA, "bottom") & @CRLF

ConsoleWrite($sMsg)

sleep(5000)

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.
