Move a control

[SlimShady]

How do I move a control?

I tried:

GUISetControlEx($label_2, 0, 2)

and

GUISetControlEx($label_2, 0, 2)

But they don't move the control.

Here's the script I was testing.

expandcollapse popup

Opt ("GUICoordMode", 1)
Opt ("GUINotifyMode", 1)

GUICreate("Test", 250, 200, -1, -1)

$Line = ""
For $i = 1 To 25
   $Line = $Line & Chr(186)
Next

$label_1 = GUISetControl("label", "Today", 20, 20, 70)
$label_2 = GUISetControl("label", $Line, 20, 40, 70, 10)
GUISetControlFont($label_2, 8, 400, "Arial")
GUISetControlEx($label_2, 0, 0, "", 0x000000, 0xffffff)

GUIShow()

$GUI_DOCKLEFT = 2
$GUI_DOCKRIGHT = 4

$align = "left"

While 1
   Sleep(100)
   $msg = GUIMsg()
   Select
      Case $msg = -3
         GUIDelete()
         Exit

      Case $msg = $label_1
         If $align = "left" Then
            GUISetControlEx($label_2, 0, $GUI_DOCKLEFT)
            $align = "right"
         Else
            GUISetControlEx($label_2, 0, $GUI_DOCKRIGHT)
            $align = "left"
         EndIf

   EndSelect
WEnd

As the GUI functions have evolved to the new syntax

you have to use the GUICtrlSetPos and not the GUICtrlSetResizing as you were doing with the old GUISetControlEx

Assume I don't use the latest version of the unstable.

What's the correct syntax to move a control?

GUISetControl($controlid, ...

You can use a non-gui function, too: ControlMove
