gottygolly 6 Posted January 8, 2015 I just thought of something weird to do for a gui and I was wondering if it's possible to put an input box in the title area. I searched around but wasn't able to find anything, just wondering if it's actually possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnOne 1,598 Posted January 8, 2015 Probably, with a whole lot of subclassing and farting about. Easier to just get rid of title bar and emulate it.

jdelaney 307 Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) How about an input box that modifies the title? #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> Local $myinput, $msg, $h $sTitle = "My GUI edit" $h = GUICreate($sTitle) ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered $myinput = GUICtrlCreateInput ($sTitle,15,15) GUISetState() ; will be append dont' forget 3rd parameter ; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() If ControlGetText($h,"",$myinput)<>WinGetTitle($h) Then WinSetTitle($h,"",ControlGetText($h,"",$myinput)) EndIf If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop WEnd GUIDelete() Edited January 8, 2015 by jdelaney Hide jdelaney's signature Hide all signatures IEbyXPATH-Grab IE DOM objects by XPATH IEscriptRecord-Makings of an IE script recorder ExcelFromXML-Create Excel docs without excel installed GetAllWindowControls-Output all control data on a given window.

johnmcloud 25 Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Think outside of the box ; Johnmcloud - 2015 #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> $hParent = GUICreate("Johnmcloud", 310, 225) $hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Read input", 25, 25, 70, 30) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hParent) $aParent = WinGetPos($hParent) $hChild = GUICreate("", 75, 25, $aParent[0] + 160, $aParent[1] + 3, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW, $hParent) $hInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("Test code", 0, 0, 75, 25) GUISetState(@SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE, $hChild) GUIRegisterMsg($WM_MOVE, "WM_MOVE") While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $hButton MsgBox(0, "Info", ControlGetText($hChild, "", $hInput)) EndSwitch WEnd Func WM_MOVE($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam) #forceref $hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam If ($hWnd = $hParent) Then $aParent = WinGetPos($hParent) WinMove($hChild, "", $aParent[0] + 160, $aParent[1] + 3) EndIf Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG EndFunc ;==>WM_MOVE Not perfect because the parent lose the focus when click on the input but give an idea Edited January 9, 2015 by johnmcloud Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
