Resize controls within a group automatically

[jonny1234]

Hi,

Is it possible to dock all controls within a group control, to the borders of the group, in the same way as it is possible to dock controls to the borders of a GUI?

For example, in the following code, would it be possible to dock the edit control and OK and Cancel buttons to the surrounding group, so that when the Resize Group button is pressed, these controls within the group would resize automatically?

I know this can be done manually, but I was wondering if there is an easier way as this is just a simple example I have put together to illustrate the question. The real script I have in mind is much more complex, but the same principle applies.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
$Form1 = GUICreate("AForm1", 307, 232, 296, 209)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "AForm1Close")
$Group1 = GUICtrlCreateGroup("", 10, 10, 287, 173)
$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 20, 30, 273, 109, BitOR($ES_AUTOVSCROLL,$ES_WANTRETURN,$WS_VSCROLL))
$cmdOK = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 18, 146, 77, 27, 0)
$cmdCancel = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 102, 146, 77, 27, 0)
GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)
$cmdResize = GUICtrlCreateButton("Resize Group", 10, 192, 85, 29, 0)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "cmdResizeClick")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func AForm1Close()
    GUIDelete($Form1)
    Exit
EndFunc
        
Func cmdResizeClick()
    Local $group_pos = ControlGetPos($Form1, "", $Group1)
    ControlMove($Form1, "", $Group1, $group_pos[0], $group_pos[1], $group_pos[2], $group_pos[3] - 10)
EndFunc

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Regards,
