Move GUI

[chssoccer 0]

The code below moves a GUI (Merlin) which looks like an icon around using arrow keys. How can this be done except with the mouse?

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$gui=GUICreate("test transparentpic", 200, 100)
$pic=GUICreate("", 68, 71, 10, 10,$WS_POPUP,BitOr($WS_EX_LAYERED,$WS_EX_MDICHILD),$gui)
GUICtrlCreatePic(@Systemdir & "\oobe\images\merlin.gif",0,0, 0,0)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$pic)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$gui)

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "main")
HotKeySet("{LEFT}", "left")
HotKeySet("{RIGHT}", "right")
HotKeySet("{DOWN}", "down")
HotKeySet("{UP}", "up")
$picPos = WinGetPos($pic)
$guiPos = WinGetPos($gui)

do
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Exit

Func main()
    $guiPos = WinGetPos($gui)
    WinMove($gui,"",$guiPos[0]+10,$guiPos[1]+10)
EndFunc

Func left ()
    $picPos = WinGetPos($pic)
    WinMove($pic,"",$picPos[0]-10,$picPos[1])
EndFunc

Func right()
    $picPos = WinGetPos($pic)
    WinMove($pic,"",$picPos[0]+10,$picPos[1])
EndFunc

Func down()
    $picPos = WinGetPos($pic)
    WinMove($pic,"",$picPos[0],$picPos[1]+10)
EndFunc

Func up()
    $picPos = WinGetPos($pic)
    WinMove($pic,"",$picPos[0],$picPos[1]-10)
EndFunc

You want say a thing like this?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
$gui=GUICreate("test transparentpic", 200, 100)
$pic=GUICreate("", 68, 71, 10, 10,$WS_POPUP,BitOr($WS_EX_LAYERED,$WS_EX_MDICHILD),$gui)
GUICtrlCreatePic(@Systemdir & "\oobe\images\merlin.gif",0,0, 0,0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$pic)
GUISetState(@SW_HIDE,$gui)
WinSetOnTop($pic,"",1)
HotKeySet("{ESC}","_exit")
do
    WinMove($gui,"",MouseGetPos(0),MouseGetPos(1))
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Func _exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

If you mean you want to move the image in the way that the Arrow keys did then maybe this alteration to your script will do it.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <misc.au3>

$gui=GUICreate("test transparentpic", 200, 100)
$pic=GUICreate("", 68, 71, 10, 10,$WS_POPUP,BitOr($WS_EX_LAYERED,$WS_EX_MDICHILD),$gui)
$pic1 = GUICtrlCreatePic(@Systemdir & "\oobe\images\merlin.gif",0,0, 0,0)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$pic)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$gui)

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "main")

do
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    switch $msg
        Case $pic1
            $gp = WinGetPos($pic)
            $mp = MouseGetPos()
            while _IsPressed("1")
                $cp = MouseGetPos()
                WinMove($pic,'',$gp[0] - $mp[0] + $cp[0],$gp[1] - $mp[1] + $cp[1])
            WEnd
    EndSwitch
    
until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Exit

Func main()
    $guiPos = WinGetPos($gui)
    WinMove($gui,"",$guiPos[0]+10,$guiPos[1]+10)
EndFunc

Thank you! Edited January 14, 2008 by chssoccer

take a look at Lazy Reader

but if I don't see why you're even trying, since

AutoIt is a suckass language and can't do shit ...

and

it's not up to standards

Therefore, just write it in a better language, maybe C++ since

C++ can easily do it. I've done it already.
