GUICtrlSetImage wont remain resized

[JackDinn]

ahhh, i need to change a pic control but when the window is resized by user the GUICtrlSetImage command sets the new image size back to the initial size of the control??? its like its not getting refreshed or something as if i slightly resize the window it jumps to the size that it should be.

hav read 1 other person with same problem but his was with icons and his solution was to through a GUICtrlSetState($HP_CC_pic, $GUI_SHOW) after the setImage but iv tryied all of the CtrlSetState modes and none will do it.

im pretty sure i could do a scripted slight resize in and out of the window to "refresh it" but there must be a trick to this that im missing.

anyhow done a demo script to show what i mean , if you resize the window and then hit the button the pic should not go back to its first size.

GUICreate("My GUI picture", 350, 300, -1, -1, $WS_SIZEBOX + $WS_SYSMENU + $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX); will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
GUISetBkColor(0xE0FFFF)
$n = GUICtrlCreatePic(@SystemDir & "\oobe\images\mslogo.jpg", 50, 50, 200, 50)
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKBORDERS)
$Hbut = GUICtrlCreateButton("test", 2, 2)

GUISetState()


While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Hbut
            GUICtrlSetImage($n, @SystemDir & "\oobe\images\mslogo.jpg")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Thx all

ahh common someone pleeese.

iv kind given up and im using :-

$x = WinGetPos($HGUI_CCeditbox)
            WinMove($HGUI_CCeditbox, -1, $x[0], $x[1], $x[2], $x[3] + 1)
            WinMove($HGUI_CCeditbox, -1, $x[0], $x[1], $x[2], $x[3] - 1)

which just slightly resizes the window out and then back again which does work for some unknown reason, but now iv found that its not guna work when this window is maximized (of cause, should have realized that ages ago) !!

so im back to the same question again how do i "refresh" the pic ctrl after changing the picture???

You should save the control-position before you update the image and reset it afterwards:

Func _GUICtrlSetImage($ControlID,$FileName,$IconName=-1, $IconType=1)
    ; Prog@ndy
    Local $hCtrl = GUICtrlGetHandle($ControlID)
    If $hCtrl==0 Then Return SetError(1,0,0)
    Local $hGUI = DllCall("user32.dll", "hwnd", "GetParent", "hwnd", $hCtrl)
    If @error Then Return SetError(2,0,0)
    Local $pos = ControlGetPos($hGUI[0],"",$n)
    Local $result = GUICtrlSetImage($ControlID, $FileName, $IconName, $IconType)
    GUICtrlSetPos($ControlID,$pos[0],$pos[1],$pos[2],$pos[3])
    Return $result
EndFunc

aye , i was working on doing that as a kinda fudge , dident know if it would work but i was just looking for how to get the pos & size of a ctrl.

it all seems a bit of a work around though
