group shape

[tamir]

i want to make a group in this shape:

-----------------------

|AAAAAAAAAAAAA|

|AAAAAAAAAAAAA|

|AAAAAAA--------- |

|AAAAAAA|

|AAAAAAA|

------------

is it possible? i thought maybe make the big group and then make a smaller one in bottom-right corner and make its border half invisible or something.

any ideas?

Try using as style

$SS_NOTIFY + $SS_LEFT + $SS_ETCHEDFRAME

Do you mean SS_NOTIFY + SS_LEFT + SS_ETCHEDFRAME?

Oh I see. The help on Window Styles doesn't mention the dollar sign and I thought that SS_ETCHEDFRAME etc were predefined constants. Thanks.

What does IFAIK mean?

As far as I know

The only predefined constants in Autoit are macros, the variant that uses the @ simbol.

Al the values for the GUI functions are set in the GUIConstants.au3 file that is included at the begin of the script. But they are actually normal global variant and you have to call them as normal variants.

Thanks ezzetabi.

Possible UDF.... Now if only we could do diagonal lines

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

GuiCreate("Example")
GuiSetState()

_DrawLine(50, 50, "horiz", 200)
_DrawLine(50, 50, "vert", 200)
_DrawLine(250, 50, "vert", 100)
_DrawLine(150, 150, "horiz", 100)
_DrawLine(150, 150, "vert", 100)
_DrawLine(50, 250, "horiz", 100)
While GuiGetMsg() <> -3
WEnd

Exit
Func _DrawLine($StartX, $StartY, $orientation, $length, $thickness = 2)
    If StringInStr($orientation, "vert") Then
        GuiCtrlCreateLabel("", $StartX, $StartY, $thickness, $length, $SS_ETCHEDFRAME)
    Else
        GuiCtrlCreateLabel("",$StartX, $StartY, $length, $thickness, $SS_ETCHEDFRAME)
    EndIf
EndFunc

We can. Just with a lot of very small vertical and horizontal lines put so closly together that it looks like it's going diagonal

[ezzetabi]

This idea is ugly for every thickness value greater than one...
