_GUICtrlButton_SetSize bug when restoring window

[403forbidden403@…]

In any situation, if you create a button and then change the size of it using the _GUICtrlButton_SetSize function, it works fine until you minimize and restore the window. After the window is restored, the button returns to it's original size.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiButton.au3>

Global $Form = GUICreate("Test", 314, 293, 241, 152)
Global $Button_Big = GUICtrlCreateButton("Minimize and restore window to see", 8, 8, 219, 225)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Sleep(2500)

_GUICtrlButton_SetSize($Button_Big, 300, 100)

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

If you are going to mess around with the control using the UDFs, then in general, create the control with the UDFs also. Changing the button creation to this avoids the issue:

Global $Button_Big = _GUICtrlButton_Create($Form, "Minimize and restore window to see", 8, 8, 219, 225)

Psalty is correct. Moving native controls with anything but GUICtrlSetPos() is not supported and will lead to bugs.

perhaps we have to change the doc example which is using GUICtrlCreateEdit()
