GUI Questions

[James]

Thanks John. I am hoping to make it into a UDF once it all works (now that I understand roughly how to do it).

[JohnBailey]

This might be what you want. The "meat" is immediately below followed by it in context.

$pos = WinGetPos("Untitled - Notepad")
    $x = $pos[0] + $pos[2] - 200
    $y = $pos[1] +5
    $w = $pos[2] 
    $h = $pos[3] 
    MsgBox(0, "Active window stats (x,y,width,height):", $pos[0] & " " & $pos[1] & " " & $pos[2] & " " & $pos[3])
    WinSetOnTop($sGUI, "", 1)
    WinMove("WinBar App", "", $x, $y)  oÝ÷ Ù«­¢+Ø¥¹±Õ±ÐíÕ¥

Hmm.. That doesn't work for the Win Bar App.

C:\Documents and Settings\James\My Documents\AutoIT Stuff\BorderlessGUI.au3 (25) : ==> Subscript used with non-Array variable.: 
$x = $pos[0] + $pos[2] - 200 
$x = $pos^ ERROR

About BetaPad.. If you post on the Topic, Razer should help you.. I don't know why its that big minus numbers.

[JohnBailey]

In the example, I put the searchbar on top of Notepad. Notepad must be open for WinPos to retrieve and build the array appropriately. Did you try opening Notepad? If you did let me know and we'll take another look

[James]

Ahh.. I get it now. Yes Notepad was open. But the message box kept coming up, so I couldn't see it.

Edit: OK, so I worked it out. Now, I need to get the box only to move when the screen resolution changes.

[JohnBailey]

Wonderful. I hope that helps out

[James]

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
#NoTrayIcon

$sGUI = GuiCreate("WinBar App", 100, 20, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOPMOST),$WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW)
$sInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("", -1, -1, 102, 22)
GUICtrlSetLimit($sInput, 20)

GuiSetState()
WinSetOnTop($sGUI, "", 1)

While 1
    _WinMoveFix()
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $sInput
            $sRead = GuiCtrlRead($sInput)
            ToDo()
    EndSwitch
Wend

Func ToDo()
    If $sRead = "help" Then MsgBox(0, "Help", "You need help?")
    If $sRead = "notepad" Then Run("notepad.exe")
EndFunc

Func _WinMoveFix()
    $pos = WinGetPos($sGUI)
    $x = $pos[0] + $pos[2] - 200
    $y = $pos[1] + 5
    $w = $pos[2]
    $h = $pos[3]
    WinSetOnTop($sGUI, "", 1)
    WinMove($sGUI, "", $x, $y)
EndFunc

Now it just dissapears!

[JohnBailey]

$pos = WinGetPos($sGUI)

WinMove($sGUI)

This means you're asking for the cors and dimensions of $sGUI and then Moving it to that place, which is confusing. WinGetPos needs the name of a window that already exists. WinMove is going to move $sGUI to whatever array positions you give it, which are defined by WinGetPos.

Short answer

$pos = WinGetPos("use a different window here like BetaPad") <------

WinMove($sGUI)

[James]

So I have to use another application to make it fit.. Right, I have to find out how to make it on the desktop. Or as it is for BetaPad, I can use BetaPad like you said.

Edit: Forgot to say Thankyou. Thankyou!

Argh I give up

[JohnBailey]

Sheville I what are you referring to?

Secure, have you seen this http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=9517 ?

[Shevilie]

Nope.... This http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=41489

(Saves me a lot of typing) Thx Smoke

[JohnBailey]

Shevilie, I'm confused. My bad, but what are you referring to? I just got lost in this thread for some reason. I read the thread you posted, but I don't understand what you were saying. Sorry. Any clarification is much appreciated. You're probably trying to say something important, but I'm just lost. Get me back on track captin

[Shevilie]

You really should quit bouncing around ... starting new threads ... and answering questions (not so correctly I might add) when you have questions of your own that you have others doing the work for you on! That's a total lack of respect for those that have given you a hand (more like gave you the code).

And yep its important

Just have a look throug h the different topics here and you would understand http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showuser=18298
