Using AutoitSetOption(GuiCoordMode,2) I fail to "step left or up"

[rudi]

Hi.

The help file tells:

GUICoordMode Alters the position of a control defined by GUICtrlSetPos.

1 = absolute coordinates (default) still relative to the dialog box.

0 = relative position to the start of the last control (upper left corner).

2 = cell positionining relative to current cell. A -1 for left or top parameter don't increment the start.

So next line is -1,offset; next cell is offset,-1; current cell is -1,-1.

Obviously "offset" cannot be -1 which reserved to indicate the no increment.

But if you can use a multiple of the width you choose to skip or go back.

GUICreate($GuiTitle,320,125,@DesktopWidth - 420,30,$WS_POPUP)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1,0xfffff0)
$b2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("B2 starten",-1,1,100,25)
$email = GUICtrlCreateButton("Email starten",1,1,100,25)
; I'd expect that the next line would go "two up" ...
$Word =  GUICtrlCreateButton("Word starten",1,-2,100,25)
; ... and that one "two to the left  side" ...
$Excel = GUICtrlCreateButton("Excel starten",-2,1,100,25)
; ... more buttons
$Ende = GUICtrlCreateButton("Arbeit beenden",-1,1,100,25)

What do I miss to step left or upwards?

Either I want first to fill the topmost button row, then step back to "collumn 1", or first fill the first collumn, then step back to the topmost row.

I can't find it

Regards, Rudi.

Hello.

Thanks, the basics I've got now:

"down" and "right" it's the height / width of the previous element

"up" and "left" I have to multiply with "height in Pixel" and "width in Pixel". At least I couldn't get that from the help file...

But it's not accurate in positioning this way. ONE pixel has to be substracted extra when stepping left or upwards. Look at the output of this code:

AutoItSetOption ("GUICoordMode",2)

$w = 40
$h = 40

for $extra = 0 to 1
$hGUI = GUICreate("Test, $extra = " & $extra, 400, 400)
GUISetState()
GUICtrlCreateButton("0", 350, 350, $w, $h)
Opt("GuiCoordMode", 2)
For $n = 1 to 8
    GUICtrlCreateButton($n, -2 * $w - $extra, -2 * $h - $extra, $w, $h)
Next
for $n = 9 to 16
        GUICtrlCreateButton($n, 1, -1 , $w, $h)
Next
        GUICtrlCreateButton("17", -1, 1 , $w, $h)
for $n = 18 to 24
            GUICtrlCreateButton($n, -2 * $w - $extra, 1 , $w, $h)
Next


Do
    Sleep(20)
Until GUIGetMsg() = -3
Next

Thanks, I'd never got that on my own!

Regards, Rudi.
