jaberwacky Posted Tuesday at 10:57 PM Posted Tuesday at 10:57 PM (edited) Hello, I'm trying to make a form window that is constrained within another form (inside of the red square). I've tried so many different things that I can't remember now. Is it possible? Edit: I'm thinking maybe a watch dog that will stop movement of the window once it reaches the boundary? But then again, I'd like for the window to be cut off by the tab if it moves too far to the right or bottom. The code if you'd like to see it: expandcollapse popup#include-once Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4) ; advanced Opt("MouseCoordMode", 2) #include <ButtonConstants.au3> #include <GuiConstantsEx.au3> Global Const $main_width = 815 Global Const $main_height = 860 Global Const $main_left = (@DesktopWidth / 2) - ($main_width / 2) Global Const $main_top = (@DesktopHeight / 2) - ($main_height / 2) Global Const $guiCanvas = GuiCreate("GUI Canvas", $main_width, $main_height, $main_left, $main_top) GUISetFont(10, -1, -1, "Segoe UI", $guiCanvas) #Region menu items Global Const $menu_file = GUICtrlCreateMenu ("File") Global Const $menu_save_definition = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem("Save", $menu_file) ; Roy add-on Global Const $menu_load_definition = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem("Load", $menu_file) ; Roy add-on GUICtrlCreateMenuitem('' , $menu_file) ; Roy add-on Global Const $menu_exit = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem("Exit", $menu_file) Global Const $menu_edit = GUICtrlCreateMenu ("Edit") Global Const $menu_vals = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem("Vals" , $menu_edit) ; added by: TheSaint Global Const $menu_wipe = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem("Clear All Controls", $menu_edit) Global Const $menu_about = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem("About" , $menu_edit) ; added by: TheSaint GUICtrlSetState($menu_wipe, $GUI_DISABLE) Global Const $menu_settings = GUICtrlCreateMenu ("Settings") Global Const $menu_show_grid = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Show grid" , $menu_settings) Global Const $menu_grid_snap = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Snap to grid" , $menu_settings) Global Const $menu_paste_pos = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Paste at mouse position" , $menu_settings) Global Const $menu_show_ctrl = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Show control when moving", $menu_settings) Global Const $menu_show_hidden = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Show hidden controls" , $menu_settings) GUICtrlSetState($menu_show_grid , $GUI_CHECKED ) GUICtrlSetState($menu_grid_snap , $GUI_CHECKED ) GUICtrlSetState($menu_paste_pos , $GUI_CHECKED ) GUICtrlSetState($menu_show_ctrl , $GUI_CHECKED ) GUICtrlSetState($menu_show_hidden, $GUI_UNCHECKED) #EndRegion menu items #Region toolbar Global Const $default_cursor = CreateToolButton("Cursor" , 5, 5) Global Const $toolTab = CreateToolButton("Tab" , 45, 5) Global Const $toolGroup = CreateToolButton("Group" , 5, 45) Global Const $toolButton = CreateToolButton("Button" , 45, 45) Global Const $toolCheckbox = CreateToolButton("Checkbox" , 5, 85) Global Const $toolRadio = CreateToolButton("Radio" , 45, 85) Global Const $toolEdit = CreateToolButton("Edit" , 5, 125) Global Const $toolInput = CreateToolButton("Input" , 45, 125) Global Const $toolLabel = CreateToolButton("Label" , 5, 165) Global Const $toolUpDown = CreateToolButton("UpDown" , 45, 165) Global Const $toolList = CreateToolButton("List" , 5, 205) Global Const $toolCombo = CreateToolButton("Combo" , 45, 205) Global Const $toolDate = CreateToolButton("Date" , 5, 245) Global Const $toolTreeview = CreateToolButton("Treeview" , 45, 245) Global Const $toolProgress = CreateToolButton("Progress" , 5, 285) Global Const $toolAvi = CreateToolButton("Avi" , 45, 285) Global Const $toolIcon = CreateToolButton("Icon" , 5, 325) Global Const $toolPic = CreateToolButton("Pic" , 45, 325) Global Const $toolSlider = CreateToolButton("Slider" , 5, 365) Global Const $toolMenu = CreateToolButton("Menu" , 45, 365) Global Const $toolContextMenu = CreateToolButton("Context Menu", 5, 405) Global Const $toolForm = CreateToolButton("Form" , 45, 405) #EndRegion toolbar GUICtrlCreateTab(95, 5, $main_width - 105, $main_height - 35) GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Form 1") GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Form 2") GUISetState(@SW_SHOWNORMAL) Do Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch Until False Func CreateToolButton(Const $name, Const $left, Const $top) Local Const $tool = GUICtrlCreateRadio($name, $left, $top, 40, 40, BitOR($BS_PUSHLIKE, $BS_ICON)) GUICtrlSetImage($tool, @ScriptDir & "\resources\Icons\" & $name & ".ico") GUICtrlSetTip($tool, $name) Return $tool EndFunc Edited Tuesday at 11:15 PM by jaberwacky Helpful Posts and Websites: AutoIt3 Variables and Function Parameters MHz | AutoIt Wiki | Using the GUIToolTip UDF BrewManNH | Can't find what you're looking for on the Forum?
Solution ioa747 Posted yesterday at 12:10 AM Solution Posted yesterday at 12:10 AM but I couldn't put it in the Tab control But as a thought if you want, you could replace the Tabs with buttons, which would represent the "pages", and depending on which button you pressed, the objects that don't belong to the "page" would be hidden, and the ones that belong to the "page" would be displayed ... ;~ GUICtrlCreateTab(95, 5, $main_width - 105, $main_height - 35) ;~ GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Form 1") ;~ GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Form 2") GUISetState(@SW_SHOWNORMAL) Global Const $hChildWnd = GuiCreate("ChildWnd", 400, 200, 100, 10, BitOR($WS_CHILD, $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW), -1, $toolbar) GUISetState(@SW_SHOWNORMAL, $hChildWnd) ... jaberwacky 1 I know that I know nothing

Why not Koda like ? That will be easier for you and the user 🤔 My 2 cents. jaberwacky 1 Follow the link to my code contribution ( and other things too ). FAQ - Please Read Before Posting.
