Dynamic GUI window width?

[sensalim]

I have a combo box that is being filled by loading a text file.

I need the main GUI window width to increase or decrease depending on the longest (max width) item in that combo box.

How do I do that?

Thanks!

maybe...

#include<guiconstants.au3>
#include <file.au3>

$file = "C:\test.txt"
$width = 100
$info = ""
$aRecords = ""

If Not _FileReadToArray($file,$aRecords) Then
   MsgBox(4096,"Error", " Error reading log to Array     error:" & @error)
   Exit
EndIf
For $x = 1 to $aRecords[0]
    If (StringLen($aRecords[$x]) * 5.5) > $width Then $width = (StringLen($aRecords[$x]) * 5.5)
    $info = $info & $aRecords[$x] & "|"
Next
$info = StringTrimRight($info, 1)

GUICreate("My GUI", $width + 20, 100)
$Combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10, $width)
GUICtrlSetData($Combo, $info)
GUISetState()

While GUIGetMsg() <> -3
WEnd

So once GUICreate() is run, there is no way to modify the width of that window later on by a function?

Valuater's example should give you a working GUI sized appropriately for your question in your first post. As for resizing the GUI afterwards, you'd wanna use WinMove().

; GUI example
$gui = GuiCreate("Hi")

$width=500
$height=100
WinMove($gui, "", -1, -1, $width, $height)

I didn't figure out to use handles in the Win routines until later... I was missing out on a lot.
