windows on top button on window title bar?

themaskedwolf · March 27, 2010

ok trying to find a better opt. right now this script is used for a deaf person for chat program. it searches for any windows that have the word 'chat' and then makes a gui for enabling windows on top.

;script by masked Wolf
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",2)
Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

global $clients
clients()
Example()
Func clients()
    if WinExists("Chat") Then
        $clients=WinList("Chat")
        local $c=$clients[0][0]+1
        ReDim $clients[$c][4]
        for $x=1 to $clients[0][0]
            $clients[$x][1]=0
;~          MsgBox(0,"clients",$clients[$x][0])
        Next
    Else
        MsgBox(0,"ERROR!","There are Currently No Chats active.")
        Exit
    EndIf
EndFunc

Func Example()
    Local $msg
    Local $setstate
    GUICreate("Windows On Top",300,80+$clients[0][0]*55,-1,-1,-1)  ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
    GUISetFont(9, 300)

    For $i=1 to $clients[0][0] ;makes a lable/menu with all window names
        GUICtrlCreateGroup("", 10, 45*($i-1)+5,275,55) ;starts group
        GUICtrlCreateLabel("Window: "&$clients[$i][0],20,45*($i-1)+20)
        $clients[$i][1]= GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Always On Top",35, 35+45*($i-1))
        GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_UNCHECKED)
        GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)  ;close group
    Next

    $setstate = GUICtrlCreateButton("Set On Top  on/off",50,80+($clients[0][0]-1)*55)
    GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_FOCUS)

    GUISetState()
    ; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        If $msg=$setstate Then
;~          MsgBox(0,"work","")
            for $l=1 to $clients[0][0]
                If GUICtrlRead($clients[$l][1])=$GUI_CHECKED Then
                    WinSetOnTop($clients[$l][0],"",1)
;~                  MsgBox(0,"ontop",$clients[$l][0])
                else
                    WinSetOnTop($clients[$l][0],"",0)
;~                  MsgBox(0,"not ontop",$clients[$l][0])
                EndIf
            Next
        EndIf
        If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
        sleep(10)
    WEnd
EndFunc

Now what a really want to do is write a code that will add a PIn up down button beside the minimize button on the windows title bar*(note this way it would apply to all windows regardless of any title name). i looked around on the forums and through the old archives. first of all if this is even viable then plz point me in the right direction. also i might start looking to see if maybe i can just edit a registry key and have it apply to any window. regardless of any of that i was wanting to make it where it would apply the pin button on any open window or window to be opened as the script posted above only shows windows open apon time of excute although i know its simple to fix that i was looking for a better way of handling this from a user prespective and i was thinking a button beside the minimize that would pin it ontop or unpin it would be nice. any suggestions or help would be nice

thanks,

on a farther note on testing i've been trying few different ways of doing this but i believe i'm in over my head. =( and as i was thinking it was simple to have my current script to update with any new windows opening has failed. anyways i'll keep checking back here daily to see if anyone has any ideas to throw at this ^^

thanks,

Hi

You will need to hook all window activities. I think this example is closest to what you are looking for

My link

Recognizing this is only your third post. I tried to simplify it for you a bit, perhaps isn't helpful but will include anyways.

Hi picea892 i appricate the reply give me a day or two and see if i can grasp what is going on i see that u made a window that attaches it to the title bar around the file menu toolbar which is great. i'll have to play with the code to fullunderstand what is happening. so i'll be getting back on the forum after understand more of how u coded this and do a little research on shell hooking as it seems to be what i was thinking i need. anyways just wanted to say thanks again.

Thanks

Hi again.

I knew I've seen this before. Took a while but I found the script I was looking for. It needed updating so I updated for the new autoit version. Include the link here (See Mr. Creator's post) and the revised version below

hi picea i saw that and was trying to figure out a way to combine the movment of link code by martin and the one u posted before. i'll try ur code u just posted on first run i had a ES_center undeclared i'll see if i cant sort through the code. FYI i want to thank u for your help as i havent coded in 10+ years and this is like learning brand new. some of the logic of your code i cant exactly follow yet but i'm still researching and working on it ^^ just wanted to thank you again i'll keep u posted

edit: seems i missed a include nneeded the include of #include <EditConstants.au3>. also it seems i was reading some where that adlibenable was changed i'll have to search up on it again i get errors in my runs with it

edit2: i got the change to adlib reg/unreg and it works great although i'm trying to figure out y it moves sometimes when i click on it. although i noticed in the code on line 89/90 when u click on it it will double the values of - X so instead of -90 it will be -180 and i'm thinking it has to do with it thinks that the button it self is a window and from my understanding of the code thus far it is a child window of the window it controls.
