Gui Start at last location saved

[maqleod]

here's a piece of a script you can add into anything with a gui to have it open at the same location it was closed. Nothing special, just thought some might find it handy.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$xpos = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\AutoItTest", "Xpos")
if $xpos = 1 OR $xpos = -32000 then
RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\AutoItTest","Xpos","REG_SZ",-1)
$xpos = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\AutoItTest", "Xpos")
endif
$ypos = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\AutoItTest", "Ypos")
if $ypos = 1 OR $ypos = -32000 then
RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\AutoItTest","Ypos","REG_SZ",-1)
$ypos = RegRead("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\AutoItTest", "Ypos")
endif

$parent = GUICreate("test",195,175,$xpos,$ypos,-1,-1)

GUISetState()
Do
$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
$newpos = WinGetPos("test","")
RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\AutoItTest","Xpos","REG_SZ",$newpos[0])
RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\AutoItTest","Ypos","REG_SZ",$newpos[1])
GUIDelete()
