Restrict drag of window to vertical axis only


Go to solution Solved by mpower,

Hi guys,

I'd like to create a drag-out panel that can only be dragged vertically. The idea is that only the lower bit of the panel will be visible at the top of the screen but can be grabbed to drag gui down until the gui is fully visible. 

I attached some screenshots to illustrate what i'm after.

Basically, I'm trying to create an apple ios style drag-out panel (e.g. command centre on iPhone/iPad)

Any help would be super appreciated!

Sorted it myself :D, but please feel free to suggest other ways!

Note I've made it so that after 3 seconds if inactivity the GUI hides itself and doesn't show again until mouse is moved to the top of the screen.

 

Posted it in Examples forum because I reckon it's pretty kewl (if I say so myself hahaha). '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

Hmm, so on my latest code (below), I can't seen to be able to click into the Input and enter data. Any solution?

Also I did away with the dragging as it was unnecessary, now the panel fully slides in and out on click.

I've done away with WS_EX_NOACTIVATE for now as that's what was causing the issue of not being able to access controls.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep both the main gui and child gui Inactive (i.e. not focused) but still allow input to controls?
