BitOr is used to merge two styles or ex_styles see here an example : (APPWINDOW merge with TOOLWINDOW

GUICreate("GUI",350,250,-1,-1,$WS_CAPTION,BitOr($WS_EX_APPWINDOW,$WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW))

ok but could i just do this for space change(ina diferent script\ then put the value into the guicreate? that seems to be what some poeple are doing for their spricts.

msgbox(0,' ', BitOr($WS_EX_APPWINDOW,$WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW)

[FireFox]

@bob00037

$WS_EX_APPWINDOW = 0x00040000

$WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW = 0x00000080

Result :

Msgbox(64,"", BitOr(0x00040000,0x00000080))

Example of helpfile :

$x = BitOR(3, 6);x == is 7 because 0011 OR 0110 = 0111
$x = BitOR(3, 15, 32);x == 47 because 0011 OR 1111 OR 00100000 = 00101111

Here is a very good description of how BitOr function works (by @BugFix):

To be honest, i have never got problems when i used + instead of BitOR, i know that there is a different, and i will appreciate if you (or someone) could explain to me how the BitOR really works here.

Hi,

the different is small but important.

With "+" you add every value, also if this value always exists!

With "BitOr" you can only add new values.

$a = BitOR(1,2,4,8)
ConsoleWrite('Result: ' & $a & @CRLF)

$a = (1+2+4+8)
ConsoleWrite('Result like before: ' & $a & @CRLF)

$a = BitOR(1,2,4,8,4,8) ; 4 and 8 2-times ==> BUT NOT added!!
ConsoleWrite('Result: ' & $a & @CRLF)

$a = (1+2+4+8+4+8) ; 4 and 8 2-times ==> AND ALSO added!!
ConsoleWrite('Result is different: ' & $a & @CRLF)

thanks i apreciate it, also to find the value of the styles, could i

#include <EditConstants.au3>

msgbox(0,$ES_AUTOVSCROLL,$ES_AUTOHSCROLL)

that gave me

64, 128

i take it tahts not right

Look for in helpfile as GuiCtrlStyle and next to variables styles you have their hexadecimal values for example 0x0890
