Moderators Popular Post Melba23 Posted April 29, 2010 Moderators Popular Post Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) [New Version] - 27 Jan 22 New: The GUIScrollbar_Ex UDF now recognises Win-D and taskbar desktop clearance commands and runs the correct minimize/restore code automatically. The previous UDF _Minimize and _Restore commands have been superceded by a single _EventMonitor function which runs in the script idle loop. This is a script-breaking change, but I hope that the additional functionality is worth the small effort it will take to alter your scripts. New UDFs, examples in zip file below. Previous changes: Changelog.txt Are you bemused by scrollbars? > Do you find them too difficult to use? > Then you need the GUIScrollbars_Ex UDF! Just download the zip at the end of the post and run this short script with the UDF in the same folder. No tricky calculations, no complicated functions to master - just easy to use, accurate scrollbars with one command!

I have been trying for some time to understand how scrollbars work and how to get them closely to match the area I want to display. After much research and headscratching I have come up with 2 UDFs which I hope will be of use to others. Apologies for the length of this post, but scrollbars are complex beasts and as I did this mainly for the less experienced user I want to make sure that they understand what is going on. The 2 UDFs are: GUIScrollbars_Ex.au3 - This gives you scrollbars sized to your GUI in one simple command - with no other includes or commands needed. The UDF is designed for those who would not normally use scrollbars because the whole process looks too complicated. It also includes a command to enable you to scroll page by page, thus making it easy to scroll to anywhere on the GUI with only simple calulations based on the values you used to create the GUIs. [New] Ability to have recalculated scrollbars on resizeable GUIs. GUIScrollbars_Size.au3 - This calculates the Page and Max numbers for the user to feed into the _GUIScrollbar_SetScrollInfoPage/Max commands. The UDF is aimed at the more experienced user and is particularly useful when you have a GUI with a dynamic scroll size (i.e. adding or subtracting controls to the scrollable area as the script runs). First, a short tutorial for those who are interested in how the scrollbars affect your GUI and what it is that the UDFs calculate: Reveal hidden contents A GUI with scrollbars can be thought of as a window onto a larger underlying GUI which can be brought into view by moving the scrollbars. The difficulty has always been to get the correct values for the Page size and Max scroll values. The Max value determines the visible borders of the larger GUI when the scrollbars are moved to the ends of their travel, while the Page value determines how far a click on the scrollbar will scroll the GUI and the size of the scrollbar thumb in relation to the scrollbar length (normally you want the thumb to indicate the relative sizes of the visible area and the whole GUI). The Page and Max values are closely interrelated and are often diffcult to set so that the scrollbars show enough of the larger GUI to be useful but not so much that you end up looking at a blank area because you have scrolled well past the place where you wanted to stop. Firstly, we have to understand that the scrollbars work effectively in character units - the number of lines vertically and the number of characters horizontally - and not the pixels we normally use in AutoIt. So to correctly set the Page and Max values for a vertical scrollbar, we need to calculate how many lines of text would fit into the visible window (Page) and into the area we wish to scroll (Max). Similar calculations are need for a horizontal scrollbar - except we use the number of characters that fit across the 2 areas rather then the number of lines. It is this use of lines and character widths that makes getting the scrollbars to scroll exactly one page at a time, or to exactly the border of a GUI, so difficult. The Page and Max values must be set in integers - and so if there is not an exact number of lines or character widths in the GUI then scrolling a page or to the maximum value of the GUI is more or less accurate depending on how close the value is to an integer. Here is a diagram showing the edge position of 8000 scrollable GUIs when the scrollbars were set to the maximum value. The green lines indicate distance of the horizontal edge from the gui border and the blue lines the vertical. As you would expect, the average value is around the 0 mark, but the distance can be off by up to half the unit value - on my machine the line height is 17 and the character width is 8, which explains the slightly wider spread of the vertical error. The UDFs actually return Max values which result in the red (horizontal) and purple (vertical) positions - I felt it was more important to have all of the GUI visible, but there is an option to choose the tighter fit if required. Now we need to understand what happens when scrollbars are added to a GUI. Everything is driven by the fact that the client area of the GUI (the area inside the borders and title bar) is reduced in size when the scrollbars are added. The size of the bars is determined by the system, so this reduction varies from machine to machine. The fact that the client area is reduced in size has different effects depending on whether the GUI contained controls before the scrollbars were displayed. - If the GUI was empty of controls, then the only requirement is to take account of the slightly smaller client area when adding controls - the available space for displaying controls in the visible window is slightly reduced. Original GUI without controls New GUI with reduced Client area #-----------------# #-----------------# # } # # }x # # } # # }x # # } # # }x # # } # #~~~~~~}x # #~~~~~~~} # #xxxxxxxx # # # # # # # # # # # # # #-----------------# #-----------------# - If the GUI already held controls then the problems are much greater. Windows automatically resizes the GUI so that you will see all of the old client area within the new smaller one. As a result all of the controls in the GUI will shrink and move slightly - even if they are not visible in the client area. This means that the whole GUI has effectively shrunk in size, which will affect the calculation of the Max value. It also means that any controls added to the GUI must take into account the changed positions of the existing controls or they will not align correctly. Original GUI with controls New GUI with reduced Client area and effectively reduced Max size #-----------------# #---------------# # @ } # # @ }x # # } # # }x # # } # # }x # # } # #~~~~~~}x # #~~~~~~~} # #xxxxxxxx # # # # # # # # # # # # @ # # @ # #---------------# #-----------------# The UDFs take into account these changes and calculate the necessary values to display the GUI as the user intended. There is a small script below which shows the above effects on real GUIs. I hope this short tutorial has explained why scrollbars are a complicated thing to get to work correctly. Now please read on and see why the 2 UDFs may well allow you to use them in the future. All the files mentioned here are in a downloadable zip file at the end of the post. GUIScrollbars_Size.au3 As mentioned previously, the GUIScrollbars_Size.au3 UDF is aimed at the more experienced user who wants to use the full range of _GUIScrollbar comands, but would like a quick way of getting the required Page and Max values. It uses no other include files so you will need to include GUIScrollbars.au3 yourself, as well as the necessary GUIRegisterMsg and procedures for WM_VSCROLL and WM_HSCROLL. The syntax is simple - the size of the scrollable GUI and either the handle of the GUI you have created to hold the scrollbars or the size of the one you are going to create. It returns a 6-element array including the Page and Max values for the scrollbars and factors to compensate for the "shrinkage" of the GUI if you had already drawn some controls and wished to add others. Of interest, the returned Max value is biased not to clip the edges of the GUI - reducing it by 1 makes a tighter fit but can lead to some clipping. (If that does not make sense, please see the tutorial above for more details) The Size_Example_1 script to show the UDF in action - the "Pass Size" button shows the effect of creating the scrollbars BEFORE the controls, the "Pass Handle" button shows what happens if the scrollbars are created AFTER the controls. If you do not understand why there is a difference - go and read the tutorial above ! You will need to have the GUIScrollbar_Size.au3 UDF in the same folder. Where this UDF really helps is if you have a scrollable GUI of variable size - if the number of controls varies with user selections for example. All you need to do is to rerun the UDF with the new size of the scrollable GUI and it produces a new Max value for you to use. The Size_Example_2 script shows how the function enables you to dynamically size your scrollbars depending on the number of controls required. As before it requires the GUIScrollbar_Size.au3 UDF in the same folder. -------- Now the "simple" GUIScrollbars_Ex.au3 (which is actually the more complex internally as you would expect). This UDF is intended to be the single point of call for creating scrollbars on a GUI - it will automatically add the GUIScrollbars UDF and the WM_VSCROLL and WM_HSCROLL GUIRegisterMsg commands and procedures to your script - so you need no commands other than those within the UDF itself. These commands are _GUIScrollbars_Generate and _GUIScrollbars_Scroll_Page. As you might expect, _GUIScrollbars_Generate generates scrollbars for your GUI. It is usually called AFTER you have added all the controls and all you need to use it is the GUI handle and the size of the underlying GUI you want to scroll. If you so wish, you can also decide to generate the scrollbars BEFORE the controls on the scrollable GUI, and you can choose if you want to risk not quite reaching the edge of the GUI when the scrollbars are at the maximum position. So a basic call could be as simple as: _GUIScrollbars_Generate ($hGUI, 1000, 1000) which would put scrollbars on the $hGUI window allowing a 1000x1000 underlying GUI to be displayed. _GUIScrollbars_Scroll_Page lets you scroll a page at a time. If your GUI was 200 pixels wide, you would have 1000/200 = 5 pages to scroll before reaching the edge - no need to know what the actual Page and Max values are, just use this simple division based on the number you use to draw the GUIs. So: _GUIScrollbars_Scroll_Page ($hGUI, 3) would scroll to the third page - it would display the area between 400 and 600 pixels of the full 1000 pixel width. If you ask for a page over the maximum available, you just scroll to the maximum position - asking for page 1 resets you to the origin. Ex_Example_1 shows the UDF working. You can decide whether to have both or just one scrollbar, whether to create the scrollbars before or after the controls, and whether you want the maximum scroll to be tight to the edge or leave a border. Just select the options you want - the script selects a random width and height for both the scrollbar GUI and the underlying GUI - and press the "Scroll" button to show a single page scroll down and/or right followed by a scroll to the bottom right corner of the GUI. There are labels to let you see the size of the GUI and the accuracy of the page scrolls (please read the tutorial above to understand why these are almost certainly inaccurate). The script requires the GUIScrollbars_Ex.au3 UDF in the same folder. Ex_Example_2 is a really simple example to show how easy generating scrollbars can now become! As you can see - no other includes, no GUIRegisterMsg commands, no WM_H/VSCROLL procedure functions. Just accurate scrolling and proportional thumb sizes. Ex_Example_3 shows the automatic calculation of control positions. Ex_Example_4 shows how to initiate the cursor keys to scroll the GUI as well. [New] Ex_Example_5 shows how to use the new _GUIScrollbarsEx_Resizer function. I hope these 2 UDFs are useful to AutoIt users - I certainly find them so. Here is a zip file with the UDFs and examples: Scrollbars.zip My grateful thanks to the authors of the GUIScrollbars and WinAPI UDFs for their code, some of which I have plundered.

JamesOne of my favorite tricks for solving many GUI problems is to use multiple windows. It can save me having to create multiple controls for example and in some cases I even change the text for a button when a window is shown and then change it back when that Window is hidden and the original Child restored.

And yes I have tried your MouseOnEvent UDF. Everything works except the scroll wheel. So if you would like to work at it, be my guest. M23 It's easy, you just add this to the UDF: #include <SendMessage.au3> .... GUIRegisterMsg($WM_MOUSEWHEEL, "WM_MOUSEWHEEL") ....
