[Question]Auto resize GUI to fit added Controls?

[smashly]

Hi to all and thank for reading my first post in this forum.

Hoping that my beggings are simple.

I'm not actually writing anything for a purpose yet and I'm slowly trying to wrap my mind around AutoIt and what can be done with it's GUI.

Could someone please post or point me to a small sample of how to get a Gui to Auto Resize by an added Control?

eg:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>


GUICreate("Main",80,40,-1,-1)  
GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)     
Opt("GUICoordMode", 2)

$Button = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Add",-1,-1,40,40)
GUICtrlSetResizing ($Button,$GUI_DOCKLEFT+$GUI_DOCKVCENTER)

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    If $msg = $Button Then
                   $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Newer",0,-1)
    EndIf
Wend

Basicly I'm after when a button is added to the Main window that the Main window resizes to fit the new button added. (please forgive my bad non working example above :"> ).

In the meantime I'll keep sifting through the AutoIt forum and Help files and such to better my understanding. So far AutoIts help files have been an absolute blessing and a half,

now if I coulkd just get my mind around that bundle of info.

Thank You

&

Cheers

Somthing like this?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>


$gForm = GUICreate("Main",80,40,-1,-1)  
GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)      
Opt("GUICoordMode", 2)
Global $Buttons[10]

$Buttons[1] = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Add",-1,-1,40,40)
$Buttons[0] = 1
GUICtrlSetResizing($Buttons[$Buttons[0]], $GUI_DOCKSIZE+ $GUI_DOCKLEFT)

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    for $i = 1 to $Buttons[0]
      If $msg = $Buttons[$i] Then
         $Buttons[$Buttons[0]+1] = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Newer:" & $Buttons[0]+1,0,-1)
         $Buttons[0] =$Buttons[0] + 1 
         GUICtrlSetResizing($Buttons[$Buttons[0]], $GUI_DOCKSIZE + $GUI_DOCKLEFT)
         ; get last possition
         $SC =WinGetPos(GuiCtrlGetHandle($Buttons[$Buttons[0]]))
         ConsoleWrite("$SC[0]:=" & $SC[0] & ", $SC[1]:=" & $SC[1] & ", $SC[2]:=" & $SC[2] & ", $SC[3]:=" & $SC[3] & @LF)
         ;Resize form
         $SF = WinGetPos(WinGetHandle($gForm))
         ConsoleWrite("$SF[0]:=" & $SF[0] & ", $SF[1]:=" & $SF[1] & ", $SF[2]:=" & $SF[2] & ", $SF[3]:=" & $SF[3] & @LF)
         WinMove(WinGetHandle($gForm),"", $SF[0], $SF[1], $SC[0] -$SF[0] + $SC[2] + 10)        
      EndIf
   Next 
Wend

Thank You for taking the time Uten. It's greatly appreciated.

Sorry to say I get an Undefined Function error when I tried your updated code.

C:\Temp\testresizeaddcontrol.au3(23,63) : ERROR: GuiCtrlGetHandle(): undefined function.

$SC =WinGetPos(GuiCtrlGetHandle($Buttons[$Buttons[0]])

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^

What am I doing wrong? Edited June 7, 2006 by smashly

You need AutoIt Beta for that function.
