Rebar demo's on XP dont seem to work?

[JackDinn]

Hi,

Im wondering why all the ReBar demos from the help file just dont seem to work on windows xp?

Iv tried on 2 xp comps and a VM xp and there all the same , iv uninstalled AU3 and installed v3.3.8.1 and this is what i get from the _GUICtrlRebar_Create demo :-

Im sure its just me being a dumb ass so sorry about that ^^

Cheers.

cool that sorted it, now i just need to remember this info until AI is updated again , thats if they are going to do anything about it as xp is getting quite old now.

If you switch to Windows 7 then you should be fine with 3.3.8.1.again.

yea , my main comp is win7 but i do like to tinker whilst in bed on my "craplap" which might have a problem running 7 plus im really not so much into doing the upgrade on it but i get where your coming from.

If anything iv been thinking more along the lines of getting into one of the linux distos but of course thats not so helpful for AI ^^

I run Ubuntu at home. If I need Windows I start a virtual machine and do all the AI stuff. Works perfect.

Unlikely as no one reported it as a bug, so it hasn't been updated in the UDFs.

MSDN is pretty clear about this.

Try these instead.

; Works with v3.3.9.4+
Global Const $tagREBARBANDINFO = "uint cbSize;uint fMask;uint fStyle;dword clrFore;dword clrBack;ptr lpText;uint cch;" & _
        "int iImage;hwnd hwndChild;uint cxMinChild;uint cyMinChild;uint cx;handle hbmBack;uint wID;uint cyChild;uint cyMaxChild;" & _
        "uint cyIntegral;uint cxIdeal;lparam lParam;uint cxHeader" & (@OSVersion = "WIN_XP") ? "" : ";" $tagRECT & ";uint uChevronState"

; Works with v3.3.2+ requires Misc.au3.
Global Const $tagREBARBANDINFO = "uint cbSize;uint fMask;uint fStyle;dword clrFore;dword clrBack;ptr lpText;uint cch;" & _
        "int iImage;hwnd hwndChild;uint cxMinChild;uint cyMinChild;uint cx;handle hbmBack;uint wID;uint cyChild;uint cyMaxChild;" & _
        "uint cyIntegral;uint cxIdeal;lparam lParam;uint cxHeader" & _Iif((@OSVersion = "WIN_XP"), "", ";" $tagRECT & ";uint uChevronState")
