Scroll box (i think)

March 17, 2009

Hi i have been using AutoIT for about a week and it seems easier to use than other methods.

The problem i have is this,

I have made a GUI via "GuiCreate" and various menu's via "GuiCtrlCreateMenu"

CODE

GuiCreate("My Package", 1000, 800)

and

CODE

GuiCtrlCreateMenu("File")

Firstly i need to know how i can use the minimize/maximize button on the top right of the GUI.

Also i need to know how to occupy the "File" menu to include (GuiCtrlCreateMenuItem)

Everytime i do it when the script is run I have errors.

Also i have created several tabs via "GuiCtrlCreateTab" and tab items and would like the content of these tabs to be scrolled. How do i do this?

The help file has tons of examples, but here's an example for you.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
$gui = GuiCreate("My Package", 1000, 800)
GUISetState()
$Menu = GuiCtrlCreateMenu("File")
$item1 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem('Item1', $Menu)
$item2 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem('Item2', $Menu)
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            $answer = msgbox(262148, "Exit", "Are you sure you want to exit?")
            If $answer = 6 Then Exit
        Case $msg = $item1
            MsgBox(0, "Item 1", "Item one has been selected.")
        Case $msg = $item2
            MsgBox(0, "Item 2", "Item one has been selected.")
    EndSelect
WEnd

Welcome to the forums!

What do you mean by occupy the file menu?

Here is a script showing how I have shoved a child GUI on tab 3. I think it may be able to be done better, but I like this method...

You should be able to see how to tailor it to your needs, if not post your attempts, and we'll see about fixing it :unsure:

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StructureConstants.au3>
#include <GUIScrollBars.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("GUI Test", 800, 600)
$hTabs = GUICtrlCreateTab(10, 10, 780, 580)
$hTabPage1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab 1")
$hTabPage2 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab 2")
$hTabPage3 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab 3")
$hTabPage4 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab 4")
$hGUI2 = GUICreate("", 745, 520, 25, 80, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_MDICHILD, $hGUI)
$listview = GUICtrlCreateListView("col1  |col2|col3  ", 10, 10, 200, 150);,$LVS_SORTDESCENDING)

    GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item" & $x & "|col2|col3", $listview)
Next

GUISetBkColor(0x000000, $hGUI2)

What do you wish to achieve when you click minimize or maximize? If you wish to run a normal function when they are pressed, they can be "hooked" using $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE, $GUI_EVENT_MAXIMIZE in you message loop (treat them as you do with $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE).

Its also a good idea to post your code or a replica rather than snippets, because those 2 lines you provided show me nothing to what you are doing exactly- no one here can fix problems like this without seeing some code closely related to the problem...

In response to these errors, can you please post the output from SciTE? If you are not using download the full version ASAP. Link is in my sig.

Cheers,

I know how to search, this is not what i wanted the one i want is when the button in the middle gets pressed it makes the GUI smaller or bigger. i want to enable this button.

I would search this but i dont know what it is called

Still could have found it if you looked hard enough IMO.

Now do you want to be able to resize the window (with that middle button) or you want to minimize the window to the tray with the maximize button.

If you answered yes to resizing:

Take a look at GUICtrlSetResizing in the helpfile for an example on handling the controls.

Take a look at this for "enabling it"

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate ("Hi", 500, 400, Default, Default, BitOR ($WS_SIZEBOX, $WS_SYSMENU, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX))
GUISetState ()

While 1
    $nMSg = GUIGetMsg ()
    Switch $nMSg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Read the helpfile for more info on the styles for GUICreate.

If you answered yes to wanting to minimize the window to the tray with the maximize button:

Take a look at this example:

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...mp;#entry239968

Take note how $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE was used, and remember what I said earlier about hooking it (do it instead for$GUI_EVENT_MAXIMIZE).

Also you still have not posted what the errors were?

The errors were about veriables not being declared

But it is fine now as the info you and Foster74 have resolved it.

Thanks
