Disable/Enable Minimize Function

Recommended Posts

I found that when processing a ListView, if the window is minimized, the _GUICtrlListViewGetItemText function does not return the row of data and the script crashes when you try to interegate the data.

I want to be able to turn off the screen's ability to minimize during this process, and then turn the minimize ability back on.

I tried to add a "Case $Msg = $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE" to the control loop, but the fact is that the screen minimizes before this case is identified (and the script crashes).

Is there a call, function, etc. that I can use to tell the window to not allow Minimize, and then later tell the window to allow minimize?

Thank you.

maybe this will work??

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$win = GUICreate("My GUI Button") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

Opt("GUICoordMode",2)
$btn1 = GUICtrlCreateButton ("test",  10, 30, 50)
$btn2 = GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Cancel",  0, -1)

GUISetState ()    ; will display an  dialog box with 2 button

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $msg = $btn1 Then
        GUISetState( @SW_DISABLE, $win)
    ; do your function
        Sleep(5000)
        GUISetState( @SW_ENABLE, $win)
    EndIf
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Or $msg = $btn2 Then ExitLoop
Wend

You could always build the GUI without a title bar. See example below

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
GuiCreate("My test GUI", 400, 78,(@DesktopWidth-400)/2, (@DesktopHeight-78)/2, $WS_POPUP + $WS_DLGFRAME)
GuiSetState()
$Button = GuiCtrlCreateButton("OK", 340, 20, 50, 30)
$Label = GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Here is some text", 20, 20, 300, 40)
GUICtrlSetFont($Label, 24)
GuiSetState()
While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    Select
       Case $msg = $Button
        ExitLoop
    EndSelect
WEnd

$win_state = WinGetState("You window title')
    If BitAND($win_state, 8) And BitAND($win_state, 2) Then
; do something here

    EndIf

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

Thank you everyone for you quick replies.

Unfortunately, I've found that the bug with the _GUICtrlListViewGetItemText function that I thought only occured when the window is minimized happens when the window is not "on top". I'm trying to use the WinSetOnTop function to make sure that the window is Disabled and OnTop while the function runs.

Hopefully this will work.

Thanks again.

_GUICtrlListViewGetItemText utilizes the ControlListView function
