Pic control

[redndahead]

I want my picture to fit into a certain area

1) if I set the height and width of my pic control the picture still extends outside the borders.

2) Really what I would like is the ability to have the picture automatically resize to fit whatever size I make the control.

I read a couple of posts on it so I see other people are having issues but I didn't see any replys so sorry if it has already been discussed

Any thoughts?

I use next trick for now:

$picture = GUISetControl("pic", "picname.jpg", 20, 20)
                GUISetControl($picture, "picname.jpg", 20, 20, 100, 100)

Not very beautifull, but working.

If you need to keep aspect ratio of image and you don't know what aspect of image is, you can try my UDF for get image size and do needed calculations.

Thanks it works great, but that is the strangest work around that I have ever seen.

Alright If I try to update the pic control using GuiWrite I lose the size of the control that I once had.

-JPM I saw you were working on the pic control any plans to fix these two bugs?

Alright I figured out to not use guiwrite but to use guisetcontrol like Kot showed above, but still I think at least the initial setting could be considered a bug.

What is thereslt if the initial is

$picture = GUISetControl("pic", "picname.jpg", 20, 20,100,100)

You get the image, but it doesn't fit the width and height you specify. It stays the same with and height of the original image size.

Really, no matter if you use or not size setting in the

$picture = GUISetControl("pic", "picname.jpg", 20, 20,100,100)

control doesn't resize. I remove it from this line just because this not matter for result...

Thanks I got the error (?) the pic creation was a cut and paste of Splash code and it is not working.

I change the way the sizing is done by a MoveWindow and now it works

I submit the correction to Jon

//  SetWindowPos(A,HWND_TOPMOST,X,Y,W,H,SWP_DRAWFRAME);
    MoveWindow(A,X,Y,W,H,TRUE);

Just a support question how do you attach Thumbnails?

[redndahead]

You just attach any picture as a file and it inserts it as a thumbnail. =) Thanks for the change in code.
