Maximized child window overlapping tool bar

[momar33]

When i maximize my child window it overlaps my tool bar. Anyone know how to make the child window maximize beneath the toolbar?

Is there a way to see the GUICtrlCreateMenu functions code, because the menu doesn't get overlapped.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Here is code demonstrating my problem:

Ok, i have figured out a way to make the child window to maximize below the tool bar....but it has problems.

What i do is create a child gui for the tool bar and then create another child gui for the main window.

The problem is that these 2 child guis do not change in size when the parent window is resized or maximized.

This isn't too big of a problem for the tool bar, i can just make it really long, it is however needed for the other child gui.

Does anybody know a way to make child gui dynamic?

Here is the code:

See the second post, i managed to get it to maximize below the tool bar but now i need it to resize along with $main.

I have been experimenting with WinGetPos and WinMove for the resizing issue but i am having trouble getting the right sizes. It looks like AutoIt Window info is incorrect on window size or my math sucks.

Here is the new code, i added buttons so i can see where the bottom of the window is.

Thanks for your help. I did it alittle different than you suggested, this way it acts like the file menu more since you can drag a window up and it goes behind the toolbar.
