A bug sizing GUI window?!

[narciso]

Hi,

Why isn't the size of generated GUI window equal to the dimensions given in the script below. AutoIt Window Info says it is 233 x 158, instead of the desired 227 x 126 ?!

; ################# cut

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("Rozliczenia fiskalne", 227, 126, -1, 385)

GUISetState ()

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then

ExitLoop

EndIf

Wend

; ################# cut

Very strange, isn't it?

Thanks in advance for any help on that.

Some AutoIt functions take into account the border and title bar dimensions, and some do not. By default the border is 2 pixels wide, so if your width is off by exactly 4, that's probably it. The height will be off by the height of the title bar. The AutoItInfo tool has a setting for getting the dimensions of the whole window, or just the client area.

Edit: Ran the following demo:

; Create GUI
Opt("GuiOnEventMode", 1)
$hGui = GUICreate("GUI Test", 227, 126)
GUISetOnEvent(-3, "_Quit")
GUISetState()

While 1
    Sleep(20)
WEnd

Func _Quit()
    Exit
EndFunc

Using AutoItInfo tool, with the 'Magnify' option on, you see a border width of 3 and a title bar height of 35 (at least on this computer).

Run "AutoIt Window Info" (Au3Info.exe), and on the menu bar select Options | Magnify. Or just toggle it with Ctrl+Alt+M.
