SetParent problem

[MerkurAlex]

Code:

#include <GUIConstantsEX.au3>
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

$parent = GUICreate("SciTE test")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetParent", "hwnd", WinGetHandle("Notepad"), "hwnd", WinGetHandle($parent))

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case $gui_event_close
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

when the Notepad window gets place inside the gui its very partially viewed and you have to play with the notepad gui to get it to refresh that part but you cannot get it to view properly try it and you will see what i mean.

Well i figured out it has something to do with the refresh rate im currently playing with an adlibenable and

_WinAPI_UpdateWindow

_WinAPI_RedrawWindow

But now its just flickering like mad.

Try this

#include <GUIConstantsEX.au3>
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

$parent = GUICreate("SciTE test")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
$hw1 = WinGetHandle("Notepad")
$wp = WinGetClientSize($parent)
winmove("Notepad","",0,0,$wp[0],$wp[1])
$origParent = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetParent", "hwnd", WinGetHandle("Notepad"), "hwnd", WinGetHandle($parent))

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case $gui_event_close
            DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetParent", "hwnd", $hw1, "hwnd", $origParent[0])
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Btw, when it comes to an annoying flicker it's difficult to beat your avitar. When I read our posts I move my browser window so that the left side is out of view because I find it to be realy annoying. Nothing personal, but couldn't you at least slow it down so you could see each photo without worrying that you might have a epileptic attack? If that's what cookies and AutoIt do then I'm cutting out the cookies .

Is that all the presidents? I tried to recognize as many as I could, but couldn't seem to catch more than Washington, Lincoln, Grant, Clinton, and Kennedy.

Interesting idea... I wonder if you could associate text with each image for subconscious learning.

Images + multiple choice quizzes, randomized double blinds for authentic scientific method.
