Resizing a window with WinMove shifts controls

[HeidiR]

With the following test code below, I noticed that resizing a window with WinMove() shifts controls on the windows from their previous positions. Is this normal behavior? If yes, How can I prevbent the existing controls from moving?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) ; Change to OnEvent mode

GUICreate("Test", 220, 200)

GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "close_button")

GUICtrlCreateLabel("A", 20, 50)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("B", 20, 70)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("C", 20, 90)

$button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Resize", 20, 130, 60)

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($button1, "resize_button")

GUISetState()

While 1

Sleep(1000)

WEnd

Func close_button ()

GUIDelete()

Exit

Endfunc

Func resize_button ()

$pos_ar = WinGetPos("[active]") ;Get current window x, y

WinMove ( "Test", "", $pos_ar[0], $pos_ar[1], 220, 400)

Endfunc

It`s not the best example but idea is to prevent that labels do not move.

GUICtrlSetResizing() is your friend!

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1); Change to OnEvent mode

GUICreate("Test", 220, 200)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "close_button")

GUICtrlCreateLabel("A", 20, 50)
GUICtrlSetResizing (-1, $GUI_DOCKALL)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("B", 20, 70)
GUICtrlSetResizing (-1, $GUI_DOCKALL)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("C", 20, 90)
GUICtrlSetResizing (-1, $GUI_DOCKALL)

$button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Resize", 20, 130, 60)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($button1, "resize_button")

Thanks for the information! My solution was:

Opt("GUIResizeMode", 802) ;Disable auto-resizing of ALL controls when window is resized
