Finding position of my window

[opey]

I need someway to find the coordinates of the bottom left and right of my window. Because I want to open up a new gui with a click of a button and it will attach itself to the bottom of my window.

Please help.

Thanks

Check WinGetPos()

$size=WinGetPos("")

The bottom left coordinates should be $size[0]+$size[2], $size[1]+$size[3]

Check WinGetPos()

$size=WinGetPos("")

The bottom left coordinates should be $size[0]+$size[2], $size[1]+$size[3]

Only in a mirror.

Without the mirror

Bottom left = $size[0], $size[1]+$size[3]

Bottom Right = $size[0]+$size[2], $size[1]+$size[3]

Is there a way to constantly have this stay "attached" to the main window?

[muhmuuh]

in the loop where you do $msg=GuiGetMsg() you can add case

$msg==$GUI_EVENT_DROPPED and then get the new coordinates and move the new window

[opey]

ok. thank you.

I did like this:

Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_DROPPED
            $nPos = WinGetPos($XSkinGui, "")
            $nPos1 = $nPos[0]
            $nPos2 = $nPos[1] + $nPos[3]
            WinMove($hudGUI, "", $npos1, $npos2)

and its not working...

Two things

When you have 2 or more guis GuiGetMsg gets the msg of the current gui (int your case would be the second gui as it is created later). I think you should use GUISwitch(). Also WinGetPos() and WinMove use title as argument and you put handle. You should put title there.

I'm noob and it is possible that I'm writing trash and if so please someone correct me.

Still no luck. Which GUI should I switch it to? The main or the one I want to attach?

I've never heard of $GUI_EVENT_DROPPED...

Whats it supposed to do anyway?

It means that when you let go of the gui. As in, you were dragging it and the let go of it. Thats what the event of $GUI_EVENT_DROPPED

[opey]

Well I've been dropping the window for the past 20 minutes and even put a simple msgbox to see if it was going to that case and its not. The msgbox is not appearing

[opey]

Is there something else I can use besides $GUI_EVENT_DROPPED? Like maybe a case $msg that will detect whenever the main window is moved?

all you need is

Global Const $WM_ENTERSIZEMOVE = 0x231,$WM_EXITSIZEMOVE = 0x232
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_EXITSIZEMOVE,'My_Exit_SIZEMOVE')

..

Func My_Exit_SIZEMOVE()

;code to move your other window here
endfunc

Thank you, I will try it out.

Or you can use,

AdlibEnable ( "_ResetWin", 10)
Func _ResetWin()
$size=WinGetPos("")
$BlCoord = $size[0], $size[1]+$size[3]
$BrCoord = $size[0]+$size[2], $size[1]+$size[3]
WinMove($Gui, "", $BlCoord, $BrCoord)
Endfunc

(Untested, but should work)
