Razraal Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Hey there! Task: Drag and drop a control (in this case, either a button or a pic), possibly OUT of the current GUI. I have this test code: HotKeySet("{ESC}", "exit_program") Func exit_program() Exit EndFunc Func testButton() Local $x, $y GUICreate("my Window", 350, 150) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) Local $button = GUICtrlCreateButton("boink", 10, 50, 40, 40) While True $x = MouseGetPos(0) $y = MouseGetPos(1) If(GUIGetMsg() = $button) Then ;... EndIf WEnd EndFunc testButton() I want to be able to move the boink button anywhere I want in my screen, even out of my current (and only) GUI. I know how to detect a drag, but about controls' position I only found GUICtrlSetPos() which defines a position for the control within the GUI. How can I achieve my task? Cheers!
BrewManNH Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Create the button as a second GUI that you can drag around wherever you want. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Razraal Posted July 31, 2016 Author Posted July 31, 2016 @BrewManNH what styles must I use to make a new GUI look like a button (no top bar, no borders, etc.)

AutoBert Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Use style $WS_POPUP and ExStyle BitOr($WS_EX_MDICHILD, $WS_EX_LAYERED)
