EndIf Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG EndFunc ;==>_WM_SETCURSOR This is a post of example(s). The code started due to the observation that controls don't look the same when in a tab control. Digging thru the forum I found chunks of code so I smash them together to solve my issues. The "UDF" is more of an useful include than an UDF, but it shows how to use Child GUIs instead of a TAB control. In each child GUI you can have a GUICtrlCreateTab(). ( something that I did not realize until I browse the Wiki ) Working on the code I found myself having to GUIRegisterMsg(). Then why not register more and do more. Took me about a month to discover how to put it together. Then I'm like "this would make a good example". So try it out, use what you need ( or as is ). Hopefully it'll save you the learning curve. The code is in the downloads section. ( I'm a copy and paste kind of coder, so racking my brain is not my forte. But at times, is what it takes to get working code ) PS: if you find a better way to do something or a gross misinterpretation in the code, do share. ( so I can copy and paste )

Hi, There's an external window that I would like to set a minimum window size on. I've seen this is possible for internal GUI windows using GUIRegisterMsg and WM_GETMINMAXINFO. So, is it possible to do the same thing but on an external window? Thanks, Fidel

At some point we've all seen the example for WM_GETMINMAXINFO floating around the forum, in regards to restricting the size of the GUI. I therefore decided to have a look at this and see if it could be rearranged to use structures and code already predefined in AutoIt and the UDFs. Sometimes users like to duplicate variables that may already exist in WindowsConstants.au3 or StructureConstants.au3 and it can cause problems down the line if the variable values change. You never know $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE (-3) might change to -99 one day, so this is why 'magic numbers' are bad to use in examples. So having read about WM_GETMINMAXINFO on MSDN, the structure that was required turned out to be tagMINMAXINFO, which was made up of 5 tagPOINT structures (long X;long Y;) strung together. So I created the following code below and will probably propose that the tagMINMAXINFO structure be added to the AutoIt UDFs. So my questions is: Does the structure look correct? Or should I use a different approach? Any feed back is much appreciated. #AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w- 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w 7 #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <Windowsconstants.au3> ; MINMAXINFO Struct >> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms632605(v=vs.85).aspx ; It uses a $tagPOINT structure which is long X; long Y; Global Const $tagMINMAXINFO = "struct; long ReservedX;long ReservedY;long MaxSizeX;long MaxSizeY;long MaxPositionX;long MaxPositionY;" & _ "long MinTrackSizeX;long MinTrackSizeY;long MaxTrackSizeX;long MaxTrackSizeY; endstruct" ; GUI API for setting the minimum an maximum sizes of the GUI.
