Pic button deforms after being minimized

[Fraser]

Hi,

I have created a custom picture button for my gui, however after minimizing/maximizing the gui the picture is stretched and I can't figure out a way to get it to get back to normal.

Here are the main bit of the code:

Creation of the button

$pic_min = GUICtrlCreatePic(@TempDir & "\PW Generator\images\x_min_1" & $header_colour & ".gif", 550, 0, 0, 0)

Case to minimize the gui when the button is pressed

Case $pic_min
GUISetState(@SW_MINIMIZE, $main)

Function to switch the image on hover

$cursor = GUIGetCursorInfo($main)
        If Not @error Then
            Select
                Case $cursor[4] = $pic_exit And $Icon1UnderCursor = False
                    GUICtrlSetImage($pic_exit, @TempDir & "\PW Generator\images\x_close_2" & $header_colour & ".gif")
;~                  MsgBox(0, "test", "Test")
                    $Icon1UnderCursor = True
                Case $cursor[4] <> $pic_exit And $Icon1UnderCursor
                    GUICtrlSetImage($pic_exit, @TempDir & "\PW Generator\images\x_close_1" & $header_colour & ".gif")
;~                  MsgBox(0, "test2", "Test2")
                    $Icon1UnderCursor = False
                Case $cursor[4] = $pic_min And $Icon2UnderCursor = False
                    GUICtrlSetImage($pic_min, @TempDir & "\PW Generator\images\x_min_2" & $header_colour & ".gif")
;~                  MsgBox(0, "test", "Test")
                    $Icon2UnderCursor = True
                Case $cursor[4] <> $pic_min And $Icon2UnderCursor
                    GUICtrlSetImage($pic_min, @TempDir & "\PW Generator\images\x_min_1" & $header_colour & ".gif")
;~                  MsgBox(0, "test2", "Test2")
                    $Icon2UnderCursor = False
            EndSelect
        EndIf

and here are the before and after images:

After

Does anyone have an idea that could help please? If you need anymore info please let me know!

I don't know but have you kept the default resizing to $GUI_DOCKSIZE for the pic? If you used GuiResizeMode it might have overridden the setting for the pic. Though if the size before minimizing is the same as maximized, which it looks like from your screen shots, then it shouldn't make any difference.

To get it back to the correct size you could get the dimensions after creating it by using ControlGetPos, then write a handler for OnExitSizeMove and use ControlMove, though it's a cludge.

Thanks for the advise.

I have figured it out (something so simple), so for reference, I should have specified the Width and Height of the picture.

$pic_min = GUICtrlCreatePic(@TempDir & "\PW Generator\images\x_min_1" & $header_colour & ".gif", 550, 0, 30, 18)

Ah, interesting to know that, it could save me a problem in the future.
