GraaF1337 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) I've been trying to find the center of my GUI, but it seems WinGetClientSize, dont work as i hoped :-/ #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> $form1 = GUICreate("Center Test", 500, 500) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) WinMove($form1, "", 400, 400) $aClientSize = WinGetClientSize($form1) $text = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Center", $aClientSize[0] /2, $aClientSize[1] /2) Sleep(1000) MsgBox(0, "Resizing", "Resizing the GUI") WinMove($form1, "", 400, 400, 450, 450) $aClientSize = WinGetClientSize($form1) GUICtrlSetPos($text, $aClientSize[0] /2, $aClientSize[1] /2) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd The problem is that the label's text has to be removed on the x/y, but if i do that by hand and you resize the GUI, it will be off again. So I'm hoping you guys know a soild way of finding the center of GUI and create a label, but then calculate the label size and move it to the center.

WinMove, just moves the GUI. But your call function. "_Centre_Label($hGUI, $cText)" Why the "($hGUI, $cText)" part? And the function it self. This part "($hWnd, $cID)" And what is "$cID" because i can't see it being pre defined? And it's called 3times. I'm sorry to bother you, but i like to fully understand the code i use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted October 14, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 14, 2014 GraaF1337,As the code stands, both $hGUI & $cText are Global variables and so could be read inside the _Centre_Label function without problem - but that might not always be the case (in your full script you might create the GUI and label within another function for example) and so passing these variables as parameters seemed a good idea. The ($hWnd, $cID) part of the function is declaring that these variables are Local to the function (no need to pre-declare them as this is done automatically for parameters) and that they should take the values passed in the function call: ($hGUI, $cText). So within the function the variables $hWnd & $cID have the same values as $hGUI & $cText, which allows the code within the function to operate on the correct GUI and control. if you had a second GUI and control, you could use the same function as long as you passed it the correct variables:expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> $hGUI_1 = GUICreate("Center Test", 400, 400, 100, 100) $cText_1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Centre One", @DesktopWidth, 0) GUICtrlSetResizing($cText_1, $GUI_DOCKSIZE) ; Retain size or label automatically adjusts and could be too small GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) $hGUI_2 = GUICreate("Center Test", 400, 400, 600, 100) $cText_2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Centre Two", @DesktopWidth, 0) GUICtrlSetResizing($cText_2, $GUI_DOCKSIZE) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) _Centre_Label($hGUI_1, $cText_1) _Centre_Label($hGUI_2, $cText_2) Sleep(1000) MsgBox(0, "Resizing", "Resizing the GUIs") WinMove($hGUI_1, "", 100, 100, 300, 300) WinMove($hGUI_2, "", 600, 100, 200, 200) _Centre_Label($hGUI_1, $cText_1) _Centre_Label($hGUI_2, $cText_2) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd Func _Centre_Label($hWnd, $cID) $aClientSize = WinGetClientSize($hWnd) $aLabelSize = ControlGetPos($hWnd, "", $cID) ControlMove($hWnd, "", $cID, ($aClientSize[0] / 2) - ($aLabelSize[2] / 2), ($aClientSize[1] / 2) - ($aLabelSize[3] / 2)) EndFuncClearer now?

But when you reply, please use the "Reply to this topic" button at the top of the thread or the "Reply to this topic" editor at the bottom rather than the "Quote" button - I know what I wrote and it just pads the thread unnecessarily.
