How do I make the GUI non resizeable

[Srex]

i tried all the differnt macros you can put on and i simply cant figure it out, i just want the user to be UNABLE to resize my program.. is this possible?

Srex,

Just create the GUI without the $WS_SIZEBOX style - the default setting does not include this style so you must be adding it in your GUICreate line. Post the line in question if you still have problems.

it still does it, I think I might explained myself poorly I dont want the user to be able to take the mouse to the edge, and drag it bigger/smaller..

I dont know the terms for this i thought it was resizing

Srex,

No, you were perfectly clear.

This GUI cannot be resized:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)
GUISetState()

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

So if yours can be resized, you are adding styles to make it so. As I asked before - please post the GUICreate line from your script so we can se what you are doing.

This topic struck me as interesting, because the whole time I had problems with Maximizebox.
Today I was determined to find the cause.
it turned out that I used $WS_TABSTOP.
And as it turns out $WS_TABSTOP == $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX

mLipok,

Although the values of $WS_TABSTOP & $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX are the same there should not be any confusion:

 

- $WS_TABSTOP is used on controls within a GUI to allow the {TAB} key to move focus to the control.

- $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX is used on the GUI itself.

There are many Windows constants which have similar values - hardly surprising seeing the number of them.

A good example are the $LVS_EX_* styles, many of which share values with $WS_EX_* styles. This is why you should always use _GUICtrlListView_SetExtendedListViewStyle to set them, rather then add the extended styles to the _GUICtrlListView_Create function where they are interpreted as the $WS_EX_* values.

Thanks for the explanation now clearly see the difference in the method of use.

I had one old script, it's probably good time to analyze, and write it again.

Cheers.
