Vista themes messing with my formatting!

[FunkyBunnies]

Heyo all,

I've got a script working pretty nicely in XP using the classic theme, but in vista my formatting is all wonky because aero adds an 8 pixel border to any resizable window. I've tried calling uxtheme.dll and passing it nothing like I would in XP, but I hear it's different in Vista? it doesn't seem to be working. Is there any way to force the classic theme onto my script that works in xp as well as vista?

if not that, then is there a way to get the screenspace position of a control rather than relative to its parent window?

thanks!

If you by "screenspace position" mean screen coordinates then use WinGetPos(). If not then define "screenspace position".

GUICreate("GUI", 320, 240, 0, 0)
$Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button", 10, 10)
$hButton = GUICtrlGetHandle($Button)
GUISetState()
$aPos = WinGetPos($hButton)
MsgBox(0, "Button positions:", "X: " & $aPos[0] & @CRLF & "Y: " & $aPos[1] & @CRLF & "Width: " & $aPos[2] & @CRLF & "Height: " & $aPos[3])
