Need Help with this...

[AoRaToS 16]

Ok, let's say I have a GUI and I want to use those fancy effects to fade in-out, slide and stuff:

$hwnd = GUICreate("Animate Window", 300, 300)

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", 0x00080000);fade-in

GUISetState()

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", 0x00090000);fade-out

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", 0x00040001);slide in from left

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", 0x00050002);slide out to left

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", 0x00040002);slide in from right

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", 0x00050001);slide out to right

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", 0x00040004);slide-in from top

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", 0x00050008);slide-out to top

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", 0x00040008);slide-in from bottom

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", 0x00050004);slide-out to bottom

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", 0x00040005);diag slide-in from Top-left

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", 0x0005000a);diag slide-out to Top-left

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", 0x00040006);diag slide-in from Top-Right

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", 0x00050009);diag slide-out to Top-Right

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", 0x00040009);diag slide-in from Bottom-left

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", 0x00050006);diag slide-out to Bottom-left

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", 0x0004000a);diag slide-in from Bottom-right

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", 0x00050005);diag slide-out to Bottom-right

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", 0x00040010);explode

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", 0x00050010);implode

I tried a way to randomly do this by using: DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", 0x0004000 & Random(0, 9, 1))

but that doesn't work, why is that?

This doesn't work either:

$num = 0x0004000 & Random(0, 9, 1)

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", $num)

Only this works

$1 = 0x00040001

$2 = 0x00040002

$3 = 0x00040003

...

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", Random($1, $9, 1))

Can anyone tell me why?

AoRaToS,

This thread discussed WinAnimate effects and Vista. You need to scroll down a bit.

I see, it needs ""...

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $MainGUI, "int", 2000, "long", "0x0004000" & Random(1, 4, 1))

Works! Thanks

This works:

$hwnd = GUICreate("Animate Window", 300, 300)

$num = 0x00040000 + Random(0, 9, 1)

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", $hwnd, "int", 1000, "long", $num)
GUISetState()

ajaq just covered what jumped out at me immediately, you were appending your random value to the hex value, rather than adding them together.
