jercfd Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) how would i make the following script minimize into the taskbar. currently in minimizes into a box on the lower left corner of the screen and not onto the taskbar. I want it to minimize into the task bar and when not minimized, it not in the taskbar. Sample Code #include <Constants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 1) $GUI = GUICreate("minimize test gui", 200, 200, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP, BitOR($WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW, $WS_EX_TOPMOST, $WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE)) $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Minimize Me", 24, 24, 75, 25, 0) $Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 24, 100, 75, 25, 0) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $Button1 WinSetState("minimize test gui", "", @SW_MINIMIZE) Case $Button2 Exit EndSwitch WEnd Edited July 12, 2008 by jercfd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinMeyer Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 If you do not need the extended styles, this works. #include <Constants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 1) $GUI = GUICreate("minimize test gui", 200, 200, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP);, BitOR($WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW, $WS_EX_TOPMOST, $WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE) $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Minimize Me", 24, 24, 75, 25, 0) $Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 24, 100, 75, 25, 0) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $Button1 WinSetState("minimize test gui", "", @SW_MINIMIZE) Case $Button2 Exit EndSwitch WEnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jercfd Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 If you do not need the extended styles, this works.I need the extended styles for my program. Is there any alternate way to do it like a dllcall or a function? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCreatoR Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Try this: #include <Constants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 1) $GUI = GUICreate("minimize test gui", 200, 200, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP, BitOR($WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW, $WS_EX_TOPMOST, $WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE)) $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Minimize Me", 24, 24, 75, 25, 0) $Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 24, 100, 75, 25, 0) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $Button2 Exit Case $GUI_EVENT_RESTORE GUISetState(@SW_HIDE) ;Don't ask, i don't have a clue why the GUI does not changing styles when it visible GUISetStyle($WS_POPUP, BitOR($WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW, $WS_EX_TOPMOST, $WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE)) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) Case $Button1 GUISetStyle($WS_POPUP, BitOR($WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW, $WS_EX_TOPMOST, $WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE, $WS_EX_APPWINDOW)) GUISetState(@SW_MINIMIZE) EndSwitch WEnd Spoiler Using OS: Win 7 Professional, Using AutoIt Ver(s): 3.3.6.1 / 3.3.8.1 AutoIt Russian Community My Work...

JustinMeyer Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I suggest reading about "$WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW", it states you can not do what you are trying to. I am sure you could make some compromise and come up with a work around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinMeyer Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 @MrCreatoR Well.... that is an obvious solution. Sometimes I overlook the best ways of doing thing just to make it more complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
