API DrawEdge...

[layer 3]

hey folks... im just messing around with DllCall again and i need help with "DrawEdge"... well, only a little part of it i need help with... theres one part in the function that requires a RECT structure, but thats not a Dll or anything, so i assume this would have to actually be done in C++? heres the link..

go to paremeters and look for the link, "RECT".. thanks

EDIT: oh yea, heres what i tried...

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
$hwnd= GUICreate ("edge test DllCall")
GUISetState ()
$coords= "10, 20, 20, 20"
$dc= DllCall ("user32.dll", "int", "GetDc", "hwnd", $hwnd)
$edge= DllCall ("user32.dll", "int", "DrawEdge", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", $coords, "int", "BDR_RAISEDINNER", "int", "EDGE_RAISED")
$realesedc= DllCall ("user32.dll", "int", "ReleaseDC", "hwnd", 0,  "int", $dc[0])
While 1
    $get= GUIGetMsg ()
    If $get= -3 then Exit
        WEnd

thanks!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You cannot use special structures with dllcall() .

RECT is a special structure:

The RECT structure defines the coordinates of the upper-left and lower-right corners of a rectangle.

typedef struct _RECT {    // rc

    LONG left;

    LONG top;

    LONG right;

    LONG bottom;

} RECT;

Members

left

Specifies the x-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the rectangle.

top

Specifies the y-coordinate of the upper-left corner of the rectangle.

right

Specifies the x-coordinate of the lower-right corner of the rectangle.

bottom

Specifies the y-coordinate of the lower-right corner of the rectangle.

As RECT and POINT are fairly common (and easy to represent in an autoit array) maybe we could add those partiular types in. Maybe.

hmm, that'd be pretty cool maybe pretty please kinda? but then, to do the GetSystemTimes: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....systemtimes.asp

you would need FILETIME... so i guess it wouldnt really matter, because all of the needs for people wouldn't be filled, but it would for some others, so then you'd have 100000000000 requests and so on... so its up to you

EDIT: hey Jon, why does your Signiture say "Grasp the nettles"? wouldn't that hurt !
