Resizing with WinMove()

[furrycow]

Ok, so all i am trying to do is resize a GUI, however when i use this code, (just an example i made, i know only one control actually works)..

expandcollapse popup

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ListBoxConstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 218, 306, 193, 125)
$Group1 = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Group1", 8, 8, 201, 129)
$Buttonresize = GUICtrlCreateButton("Hide", 120, 32, 81, 25, 0)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Buttonresize,"_Resize")
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Label1", 24, 40, 36, 17)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button2", 120, 64, 81, 25, 0)
$Button3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button3", 120, 96, 81, 25, 0)
GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)
$List1 = GUICtrlCreateList("", 8, 144, 201, 149)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Func _Resize()

    $ExpandREAD=GUICtrlRead($Buttonresize)
    If $ExpandREAD="Hide" Then
    
    $WindowPOS=WinGetPos("Form1")
    WinMove ( "Form1", "", Default, Default, $WindowPOS[2], 140)
    GUICtrlSetData($Buttonresize,"Show")
    Else
    $WindowPOS=WinGetPos("Form1")
    WinMove ( "Form1", "", Default, Default, $WindowPOS[2],306)
    GUICtrlSetData($Buttonresize,"Hide")
    EndIf

EndFunc

Everything just shifts up/changes size and the rest of it, whereas all i want is for the LIST control to "disappear" if you know what i mean; for it to be hidden rather than deleted!

I am vaguely aware of some Opt() function, but having a little play around with it, i was unable to get the result i wanted...any help would be GREATLY APPRICIATED!! thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick reply kafu! but sorry i mustnt have phrased myself properly i want the window to get smaller, so the actual GUI goes from a height of 306 to 140, without the button/label/etc controls moving/changing size. thanks.

...whereas all i want is for the LIST control to "disappear" if you know what i mean; for it to be hidden rather than deleted!

... and you're looking for GUICtrlSetResizing().

What i want is shown in the following image:

Sooo.... that's a combo of my first and my second post . Or just resize the GUI that the list is offscreen and fix the buttons and the group with GUICtrlSetResizing().
