Question about icon positioning and window resizing


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

Please forgive me if I'm posting a duplicate question but I've been searching this forum, (and the docs, and google), for many hours now and can't find the answer to this one. If this has already been answered feel free to just direct me to the original topic rather than answer here.

I'm trying to make a resizable window with a number of icons in it. (lots of 'em). What I can't seem to figure out is how to have them reposition themselves to accomodate for the window size. Like your default explorer window behavior in icon mode. In other words, if I have six icons in a horizontal row and I resize the window to half the width, I should now have two rows of three icons each. Does that make sense?

Again, my apologies if this question was answered somewhere else. Many thanks in advance.

raymond32,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum. :)

I did something like this awhile ago. You will need the resources from this post and you can see my scripts in the posts below - the one in post #86 was the final version. You will also need my GUIScrollBarsEx UDF which you can find in the first post of the thread to which I have linked you. ;)

See if you can integrate the concept into your script - try yourself first, but please do come back if you run into any problems. :)

raymond32,

to create my own launcher for an NES emulator [...]to launch the individual games

Before you post again, I suggest you read the Forum rules (there is also a link at bottom right of each page) - particularly the bit about not discussing game automation. We would not want you to post anything which was in infraction of them. ;)
