GUI control customize

Recommended Posts

I know how to make the minimize and close button do something else. However, when I assign the minimize button to do something else, it activates the function I want, but it also STILL minimizes, which is what I don't want. Also, I don't know how to have the minimize button activate a specific function when the GUI is on one particular GUI. So if I have GUI A, B, C, and D, the minimize activates the function only when on GUI C.

Along with this I'd like to deactivate/gray out GUI C's close button so it doesn't do anything.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#Include <GuiMenu.au3>

Const $SC_CLOSE = 0xF060
Const $SC_MINIMIZE = 0xF020

$hGuiA = GUICreate("Gui A", 200, 60)
$hGuiC = GUICreate("Gui C", 200, 60, -1, @DesktopHeight*0.6, -1, -1, $hGuiA)
$cBtnExit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 50, 20, 100, 30)

    Switch GUIGetMsg()

    EndSwitch

EndFunc

    MsgBox(0,'','Min')

Thanks, it works great.

I tried looking up the help file to understand this, but couldn't find answers to the following questions.

1/ How did you get "6" as the number for the close button? I've been trying to find out the number that correlates with the minimize button for another GUI and tried 1-8, but none work.

2/ I've been meaning to ask this but never got around to it, what is "BitAND"? I don't understand the explanation the help file gives.

Thanks.

6 is a zero based position of "Close" item in the menu.

If you open the menu of a AutoIt GUI by clicking the icon in the top left or whichever else method, you can easily see that (separator counts as an item too).

Another approach would be use _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemCount($hMenu)-1 instead of 6. That's assuming that "Close" is the last item of course. Which for some apps is not the case (AutoIt helpfile for example).

Could use _GUICtrlMenu_FindItem() too.

2/ I've been meaning to ask this but never got around to it, what is "BitAND"? I don't understand the explanation the help file gives.

Bit AND/OR/XOR operations perform boolean logic on all corresponding bits of input numbers. Edited by Siao

1/ I went another way, and got pretty much what I wanted, but I would still like to understand what you have here, because, I tried to find the minimize button with what you said and couldn't find it.

2/ I have no idea what that page you pointed me to said. It reads like rocket science...maybe I was just too sleepy, but even so, it still wouldn't make enough sense for me to understand and implement it. Anyone else have a more laymen explanation? I did a google search, but just came up with more rocket science.

Thanks.

1)

#Include <GuiMenu.au3>

Run("Calc.exe")
WinWait("Calculator")
$hWin = WinGetHandle("Calculator")

If IsHWnd($hWin) Then
    $hMenu = _GUICtrlMenu_GetSystemMenu($hWin)
    $sList = ""
    For $i = 0 To _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemCount($hMenu)-1
        $sList &= $i & " = " & _GUICtrlMenu_GetItemText($hMenu, $i) & @CRLF
    Next
    ControlSend($hWin, "", "", "!{SPACE}")
    MsgBox(0,'Success',$sList)
Else
    MsgBox(0,'Error','Bad window handle, foo!')
EndIf

Exit

2) You don't need to understand these to use them, especially if you copy and paste.

Anyway, maybe this will help.
