GUICtrlCreatePic beyond 32767 pixels vertical?

[fatpig]

Dear AutoIT Community.

I am currently working on a program that will display lots of images in a scroll down GUI.
I create the GUI based on the number of images, which works fine.
But all images I place using GuiCtrlCreatePic above a threshold of around 32000 pixels (cant say exactly) are placed at negative locations and finally will reach 0 again
and will then populate on top of the images placed there before.

For $i = 1 To $Images[0]
                ; Get picture dimensions
                $hImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile($ImgRep & $Images[$i])
                $iX = _GDIPlus_ImageGetWidth($hImage)
                $iY = _GDIPlus_ImageGetHeight($hImage)
                _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage)
                ; Resize & place images in GUI
                $Pic[$i] = GUICtrlCreatePic($ImgRep & $Images[$i], $Spacer, Round($yPos, 0), $MaxImgWidth, $MaxImgWidth * ($iY / $iX))
                $yPos = $yPos + $MaxImgWidth * ($iY / $iX) + $Spacer
                $log = $log & "|" & $yPos
                $currentlut = $Images[1]
            Next

I have found a limit at 32767 pixels for some GUI elements when googling around.
Can someone tell me how to circumvent that?

thanks!

cheers

fatpig,

AutoIt stores the coordinates for controls as an integer with a max size of 32767 - as you have discovered you cannot use coordinates above that value and I cannot think of a simple workaround. Perhaps using tabs so that you can spread the images over several of them?

maybe someone has a good quick way to automatically populate in 2 or more columns?
I currently am not sure on how to achieve that.
