nullschritt Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I was wondering how to make a window draggable by clicking on a control? I ask because I have a GUI that uses a background image, with no borders, and I still want to be able to move the window. So to specify I need to move the window by just clicking the window and dragging it, but I am using a background image over the gui and it is set to $GUI_DISABLE.(to prevent it from coming forward) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) I use the following function to drag a window around, only part of the window is draggable due to a problem that occurs if there are controls inside the draggable area the controls won't work. You'll have to play around with the numbers in the If ABS( line for your GUI. GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NCHITTEST, "_WM_NCHITTEST") Func _WM_NCHITTEST($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam) ; Windows Message function that I use to allow moving the windows around without a title bar. #forceref $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam Local $hGUI = WinGetHandle("Media Player") Switch $hWnd Case $hGUI Local $aPos = WinGetPos($hWnd) WinMove("Buttons", "", $aPos[0] + 70, $aPos[1] + 430) WinMove("Volume", "", $aPos[0] + 70, $aPos[1] + 475) If Abs(BitAND(BitShift($ilParam, 16), 0xFFFF) - $aPos[1]) < 200 And Abs(BitAND(BitShift($ilParam, 16), 0xFFFF) - $aPos[1]) > 0 Then Return $HTCAPTION EndIf EndSwitch Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG EndFunc ;==>_WM_NCHITTESTEDIT: Formatting error Edited March 12, 2012 by BrewManNH If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
