ControlMove bug or what?

[Madza91]

Is this Bug or i don't know use this command (ControlMove) ^^

When move some control and minimize window, moved control get back on 1st position...

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 633, 447, 193, 125)
$Label0 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("| 1st Position |          | 2nd Position |", 50, 50, 500, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("|   Label   |", 50, 70, 100, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
Sleep(500)
ControlMove($Form1, "", $Label1, 310,70,100,20)
Sleep(100)
WinSetState($Form1, "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
Sleep(100)
WinSetState($Form1, "", @SW_RESTORE)
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

The window is repainting itself as it was written, not what you decided to do to it outside the code source.

And how to fix that?

Something like this or exist better way?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 633, 447, 193, 125)
$Label0 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("| 1st Position |            | 2nd Position |", 50, 50, 500, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("|      Label      |", 50, 70, 100, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
Sleep(500)
ControlMove($Form1, "", $Label1, 310,70,100,20)
$Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("|      Label      |", 310,70,100,20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif")
GUICtrlDelete($Label1)
Sleep(100)
WinSetState($Form1, "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
Sleep(100)
WinSetState($Form1, "", @SW_RESTORE)
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

The "fix" would be to memory edit after the controlmove for the starting position of the control to its current location.

To do something like that in your own GUI, the easiest way would be to set a function that does it on restore and or minimize. Make the function change the control location before it is restored, it is repainted with the new control location (making the variables dynamic rather than statically coding them like you are above).

And how to fix that?

If for your GUI, try to use a GuiCtrlSetPos() function.

Oh, i forgot that command

Thanks

One problem with the above, which I have used myself occasionally, is that WinSetState($Form1, "", @SW_RESTORE) does not seem to generate a $GUI_EVENT_RESTORE message. Manually clicking on the app in the TaskBar to restore it does generate the $GUI_EVENT_RESTORE message enabling you to move the control back to the desired position.
