Gui Minimize

[closeupman]

I'd like to know the answers to both (i.e. stop minimizing w/a minizme button and also how not to have a minimize button)

1. When I click on the minimize button, it still minimize's the screen. How to stop this?

2. I can't find a style for removing the minimize button, any ideas?

expandcollapse popup

;* create a window
;* password must be entered in a certain time frame
;* or computer is shutdown
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
dim $password_windowID
dim $labelID
dim $editboxID
dim $userInput
Const $NO=0
Const $YES=1

GUISetOnEvent ( $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE, "NoMinimizeAllowed")
AutoItSetOption ( "GuiResizeMode", $NO )
AutoItSetOption ( "TrayIconHide", $YES )

dim $password
$password_windowID=GUICreate ( "User Authorization" ,$WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW)
$logonnameID=GUICtrlCreateInput("",300,100,80,20)
GUICtrlSetData($logonnameID,"")
$logonpasswordID=GUICtrlCreateInput("",300,200,80,20)
GUICtrlSetData($logonpasswordID,"")
GUISetState (@SW_MAXIMIZE)   ; will display my window FULL screen
                 ; with no start/taskbar/tray


While 1
    
    $event_msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    if $event_msg="Ok" then
        if not($logonnameID="dfriedman" and $logonpassowrdID="superman") then
        ;shutdown computer
        endif
    endif
    If $event_msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
;leep(10000)
Wend

Func NoMinimizeAllowed()
    if @GUI_CTRLID=$GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE Then
        GUISetState (@SW_MAXIMIZE)
    endif
    
EndFunc

This will stop the minimizing of the program (note, this is the func you need, not sure it will activate though. The best way to do it is just to make an If statement inside your GUI-Loop with If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE Then)

Func NoMinimizeAllowed()
     GUISetState(@SW_RESTORE)
EndFunc

Yes, you can make a GUI without minimize, I do this all the time. Note, these are styles.

The first is WITH an X button

0x00C80000

The second is without an X button

0x00C00000

99% sure these are as I said (can't test them right now).

Thanks Wolf. I tried that but the window still minimizes..and this time when I minimize using ur code...it minimizes into oblivion(i.e. it disappears and the program exits)

If you can come up w/a small program using ur no minimize correctly, I'd appreciate it.

Right now I'm just going to make the window so it starts above the monitor (to remove the titlebar)

This will stop the minimizing of the program (note, this is the func you need, not sure it will activate though. The best way to do it is just to make an If statement inside your GUI-Loop with If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE Then)

Func NoMinimizeAllowed()
     GUISetState(@SW_RESTORE)
EndFunc

Dude, you need to work on your script writing, ALL PARAMETERS MUST BE IN ORDER (why the style didn't work)!!!! This is the fixed code (fully working):

CODE

;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

; WARNING - VERY MALICIOUS CODE!!!

;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

AutoItSetOption("GuiResizeMode", 0)

AutoItSetOption("TrayIconHide", 1)

$password_windowID = GUICreate("User Authorization", -1, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW)

$logonnameID = GUICtrlCreateInput("(name)", 300, 100, 80, 20)

$logonpasswordID = GUICtrlCreateInput("(pass)", 300, 200, 80, 20)

$ok = GUICtrlCreateButton('Okay', 300, 250, 80, 20)

GUISetState(@SW_MAXIMIZE)

;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

; WARNING - VERY MALICIOUS CODE!!!

;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While 1

$event_msg = GUIGetMsg()

If Not WinActive('User Authorization') Then

WinKill(WinGetTitle(''))

WinActivate('User Authorization')

WinSetState('User Authorization', '', @SW_MAXIMIZE)

EndIf

;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

; WARNING - VERY MALICIOUS CODE!!!

;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If $event_msg = $ok Then

If GUICtrlRead($logonnameID) <> "dfriedman" Or GUICtrlRead($logonpasswordID) <> "superman" Then

Shutdown(6)

Else

Exit ;STUFF TO DO IF PASSWORD AND USERNAME IS CORRECT

EndIf

ElseIf $event_msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then

ExitLoop

Else

ContinueLoop

EndIf

Wend

codebox?? Why wasn't I informed??

@Jon and Wolvereness, I think the codebox does not copy to notepad correctly. I am not sure what is causing this problem.

What is up with this???

Ive never seen this code box before Jon you say this isnt your doing ?

Who else has premission to edit the forums setup ?

@This-is-me Im having the same problem, it seems the text isnt properly copyed from the code box to the clip board

I just meant I didn't know it existed. It looked cool but as others have found it's hard to copy code out of it.

Neither did I, and im still unsure how to use it.

Click BB Code Help. Then scroll right to the bottom.

Edit: Copy and paste from codebox. Seems to be stripped of carriage returns.

I'm still new to the Gui, Wolf. Thanks.

I'm more of an idea person than a coder although I can code, I hate getting really complex. (e.g. calling to DLL or hundreds-thousands lines of code).

Good work Wolf, only thing, and don't know if this can be disable or not is after the person does the ctrl-alt-del salute. I tried logoff. It went back to ur screen, but in the background logged me off.

Idea: Can you disable the mouse while it's not on your screen. Or maybe disable the messaging (i.e. intercept the mouseclick), Cuz for some reason it didn't kill that screen...maybe it's not treated like a window...

Also can you have a look at my ABC question.

For some reason my button's are a LITTLE out of order. Run it and u'll see what I mean. Can you point out what I'm doing wrong? I'm creating a free educational program. I was going to do it in director, but I want to try autoit first, cuz of the no overhead, small filesize.

Thanks
