Dragable Labels

Paulie · August 27, 2006

How can i make a label and have it be dragable with the mouse.

I think i might have to use "GUIRegisterMsg" to do it, but i am not sure how to make it work like that with controls

Any ideas?

Make a label
Detect left click
While clicked move label in same direction as the mouse has moved.
Clean up when left click is not there anymore.

Search for +CyberSlug +GUIBuilder and you will be able to dig up samples.

Thanks, but how do i do those things

My problem is in the 2nd and 4th bullets

how do i detect a mouse button being held in over a label?

How do i change the GUI so you can tell moving the mouse will drag it (Signify that it is the one selected)?

If you have the time and patience, you could pick apart CyberSlug's GuiBuilder and see how it's done.

Look in the GuiBuilder folder in the SciTE folder.

I tried, but that code is so huge, i was lost before the variables were done being declared :">

Besides, I don't even know what to look for

maybe CyberSlug could direct me to the portion of code I'm looking for :">

or if anyone else has any ideas on how to do it, that be great

cause I'm lost :nuke:

im sure you could do something with guigetmsg() if they click the label then just do a guictrlsetpos , of the mouse coords i dont think it would be that hard would it?

Check out GUIGetCursorInfo which will help you determine if the mouse-buttons have the

clicked in the GUI, if it was clicked over the control you want and what position it was clicked

at.

This is what I'm doing to check if a ctrl is hovered. Maybe you can adapt this...

While 1
    $hovered = GUIGetCursorInfo($guimain)
    If IsArray($hovered) And $hovered[4] <> 0 Then
        Switch $hovered[4]
            Case $thelabel  ;<== control id of the label
                MsgBox(0, "", "hovered!")
        EndSwitch
    EndIf
WEnd

In the array, [2] will tell you if mouse1 is down.

Something like this will probably be what i have to do, Thanks,

anyone know how i can signify it to a user though?, Like make a border around the selected label?

just add the pic to the gui i.e. just below the buttons and label and see what happens

$pic=GUICtrlCreatePic(@Systemdir & "\oobe\images\mslogo.jpg",10,120, 200,50)
