You can use _WinAPI_PtInRect() function to determine if mouse click coordinates are within a rectangular area like:

expandcollapse popup

#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

If Not IsDeclared('WM_LBUTTONDOWN') Then Global Const $WM_LBUTTONDOWN = 0x0201

Global $hGUI = GUICreate('Click in the middle', 100, 100)
Global $tRect
Global $fPress = False

$tRect = DllStructCreate($tagRECT)

DllStructSetData($tRect, 'Left', 15)
DllStructSetData($tRect, 'Top', 40)
DllStructSetData($tRect, 'Right', 80)
DllStructSetData($tRect, 'Bottom', 63)

GUISetState()
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_LBUTTONUP, 'WM_LBUTTONUP')
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_LBUTTONDOWN, 'WM_LBUTTONDOWN')

Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = -3

GUIDelete()
Exit

Func WM_LBUTTONUP($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam)
    Local $tPoint
    
    $tPoint = DllStructCreate($tagPOINT)
    DllStructSetData($tPoint, 'X', BitAND($ilParam, 0xFFFF))
    DllStructSetData($tPoint, 'Y', Int(BitAND($ilParam, 0xFFFF0000)/65536))
    
    If _WinAPI_PtInRect($tRect, $tPoint) And $fPress Then
        MsgBox(0, 'Title', 'Text')
    EndIf
    
    $fPress = False
    Return 'GUI_RUNDEFMSG'
EndFunc

Func WM_LBUTTONDOWN($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam)
    Local $tPoint
    
    $tPoint = DllStructCreate($tagPOINT)
    DllStructSetData($tPoint, 'X', BitAND($ilParam, 0xFFFF))
    DllStructSetData($tPoint, 'Y', Int(BitAND($ilParam, 0xFFFF0000)/65536))
    
    If _WinAPI_PtInRect($tRect, $tPoint) Then $fPress = True
    
    Return 'GUI_RUNDEFMSG'
EndFunc

ok i have been messign with this and i STILL cant find out how to adjust the corrds of the click range

DllStructSetData($tRect, 'Left', 15)

DllStructSetData($tRect, 'Top', 40)

DllStructSetData($tRect, 'Right', 80)

DllStructSetData($tRect, 'Bottom', 63)

tried messing with that

EDIT:i want it to make if ANYWHERE on the gui is clicked...

Try thinking of it like a button that is as followed but it definitely not one:

$Btn = GUICtrlCreateButton('Button', 15, 40, 70, 23)

So if you read the function description of GUICtrlCreateButton() you'll have a clue but the rect works a little different in that it represents coordinates rather than x, y, width, height. So x+width will get you the right and the same goes to the y+height.

Edit: So you don't need it anyway:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Global $hGUI = GUICreate('Test', 200, 200)
GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYUP
            MsgBox(0, 'Title', 'Text')
            
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Ok i have 2 GUI in my script i only want to use the loop for if its clicked on one, how would i go about doing this

$GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYUP?

[Authenticity]

Read the GUIGetMsg() function description. If specified advanced mode it returns an array that gives you more information about the event.

[liten]

i tried

While 1

$nMsg = GUIGetMsg($Gui)

Select

Case $nMsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Exit

Case $nMsg = $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYUP

MsgBox(0, 'Title', 'Text')

EndSelect

WEnd

and a variety of other wyas By messing with GUiGermeaasae, SO that it only get the message for one form (GUI) instead of both

No luck, any advice?

[Authenticity]

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

Global $hGUI1, $hGUI2

$hGUI1 = GUICreate('Test', 200, 200)
GUISetState()
$hGUI2 = GUICreate('', 100, 100, 50, 50, $WS_CHILD, 0, $hGUI1)
GUISetState()

While 1
    Local $aMsg = GUIGetMsg(1)
    Switch $aMsg[0]
        Case $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYUP
            If $aMsg[1] = $hGUI1 Then
                MsgBox(0, '', 'GUI1')
            Else
                MsgBox(0, '', 'GUI2')
            EndIf
            
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Next time read the function and parameters description carefully.
