Resizable labels?

[JRowe]

I want to resize a label while the script is running. In fact, I want to have multiple resizeable labels on a form.

Does anyone know if theres a simple property for this?

Hi,

you can use GUICtrlSetPos ( controlID, left, top [, width [, height]] )

Cheers

Is there any way to use the WS_Sizebox property, or do I have to code it myself? Thanks for the quick response, btw

For example,

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 633, 441, 193, 133)
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 132, 104, 76, 84)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x0054E3)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

And I just want to resize $Label1

$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 132, 104, 76, 84)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x0054E3)
$Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Resize Label", 5, 5, 100, 20)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Button
            Local $CGP = ControlGetPos($Form1, "", $Label1)
            GUICtrlSetPos($Label1, $CGP[0], $CGP[1], Random(10, 200, 1), Random(10, 200, 1))
    EndSwitch
WEnd

I didn't make myself clear, and I apologize. What I'm after is clicking on the border (rebar?) and dragging the corners or sides of the label to manually resize it.

Thank you very much for the help so far, though!

You can let it resize with the GUI :

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#region - GUI Create
GUICreate('fg',-1,-1,-1,-1,$WS_SIZEBOX)
$x = GUICtrlCreateLabel("jkjk",10,10,100,100)
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1,$GUI_DOCKBORDERS)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1,0xFF0000)
GUISetState()
#endregion

#region - GUI SelectLoop
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSelect
WEnd
#endregion

Aye, yeah. However, I want to have 16-20 draggable, resizable boxes on the form, something like the GUI designers. I basically want it as a layout tool, and I was thinking it wouldn't be too complex if I could find some control that already did what I wanted it to

Thanks for the help, so far, but it's still not quite what I'm looking for.

That's what I was looking for draggabe and resizable controls.

Much thanks to those who pitched in!
