SlowCoder74 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 I seem to be finding that Opt("GUIResizeMode",$GUI_DOCKALL) doesn't work as I'd expect it. I would have assumed that this option would cause the default of all created window controls to be $GUI_DOCKALL (no moving). What I've found is that I still have to use GUICtrlSetResizing($hwnd, $GUI_DOCKALL) to all of the controls on my windows, individually. Otherwise they move when the window size is changed. Am I using it incorrectly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted March 31, 2014 Moderators Share Posted March 31, 2014 SlowCoder74, Am I using it incorrectly?It sounds as if you are. Please post a reproducer script - perhaps just the GUI creation code from the script you are using - so we can take a look.

SlowCoder74 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Yeah ... While for some reason it's not working in my code, the reproduced code appears to work ok. Therefore I'm gonna assume something else is broken. Will keep tinkering. Thanks, Melba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowCoder74 Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Returning to this after a while ... I was able to reproduce the problem. It appears to be related to moving/resizing using ControlMove. The code below creates an input control of a certain size/location. ControlMove moves and resizes the control. If you minimize and restore the window, you'll see that the control has reverted to it's original size/location. I'm using AutoIt 3.3.10.2 Update: More testing shows that if I add GUICtrlSetResizing($Input1, $GUI_DOCKALL) AFTER the ControlMove it will retain the new size/location. #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Opt("GUIResizeMode",$GUI_DOCKALL) ;prevent moving of controls when resizing window #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form= $Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 231, 182, 309, 270) $Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input1", 8, 8, 145, 21) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### ControlMove($Form1,"",$Input1,16,16,150,30) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd Edited July 10, 2014 by SlowCoder74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralAlkex Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) The thing with custom GUI toolkits or whatever you wanna call what GUICtrl* is, is that there are a lot of things going on in the background to support making your life easier. And that background stuff may not work correctly when you skip the purpose-built functions (GUICtrlSet*) and go straight for the generic (Control*) ones.Case in point, when you use GUICtrlSetPos() it doesn't revert to the original position.

SlowCoder74 Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 I was thinking it is a problem in the ControlMove function, as you said. I'm not sure why I used ControlMove instead of GUICtrlSetPos. Probably looked up how to move/resize, and that's what came up first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
