I would like to increase the height of a GUI without touching the controls in the GUI. Here is my code:

#include <GuiConstants.au3>


GuiCreate("Countdown", 400, 89)
GuiSetIcon("C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe", 0)

; GROUP WITH RADIO BUTTONS
GuiCtrlCreateGroup("Shutdown ", 10, 9,100,70)
$shutdown_yes = GuiCtrlCreateRadio("Yes", 30, 29,  40)
GuiCtrlSetState($shutdown_yes, $GUI_CHECKED)
$shutdown_no = GuiCtrlCreateRadio("No", 30, 49,  40)
; Progress bar
$progress = GuiCtrlCreateProgress(120, 29, 270, 20)
GuiCtrlSetData($progress, 100)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) 

MsgBox(0,"Start", "Look at the GUI!")
increase_GUI_height("Countdown",100)
MsgBox(0,"The end", "Did you see how awful the GUI now looks?")

Func increase_GUI_height($current_GUI_title, $delta_height)
    
    $nb_steps = 70
    $resize_time_ms = 200
    $micro_delta_height = $delta_height/$nb_steps 
    $size = WinGetPos($current_GUI_title)   
    $new_height = $size[3]
    $sleep_ms = $resize_time_ms / $nb_steps
    
; Increase the height of the GUI Window by small steps
    For $i = $nb_steps to 1 Step -1
        $new_height += $micro_delta_height
        WinMove($current_GUI_title, "", Default, Default, Default,  $new_height)
        Sleep($sleep_ms)    
    Next
        
EndFunc

I would like the result to be the same as if I had declared GuiCreate("Countdown", 400, 189) (189 = initial 89 + added 100) in the first place. However the result shows distorted controls in the GUI. How can I avoid this?

ppat,

Look at GUICtrlSetResizing in the Help file.

Hi,

the default value of the AutoIt option GUIResizeMode is 0.

If you place this in your code controls will not move and not resize:

Opt("GUIResizeMode", $GUI_DOCKALL)

$GUI_DOCKALL = 802

but is also defined in

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

or ( not sure )

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
