BBs19 Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) So i needed a way of creating borderless resizable, dragable GUIs while maintaining the AeroSnap(or whatever it is called now) functionality of Windows. The problem was that creating $WS_POPUP GUIs killed the AeroSnap functionality of Windows, it also caused @SW_Maximize to go fullscreen instead of just maximizing. I found some examples of borderless GUIs for C++, the solution was really easy: WM_NCCALCSIZE I have collected some other examples of resizing and dragging borderless GUIs, tweaked them a and wrote a simple to use UDF with easy usage with just one line: _GUI_EnableDragAndResize($Form1) Example with UDF: expandcollapse popup#include <Windowsconstants.au3> #include <WinAPIGdi.au3> Global $GLOBAL_MAIN_GUI, $Win_Min_ResizeX = 145, $Win_Min_ResizeY = 45 #region Example $Form1 = GUICreate("Example GUI", 300, 150, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_SIZEBOX, $WS_MINIMIZEBOX, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX)) GUISetBkColor(0x282828, $Form1) _GUI_EnableDragAndResize($Form1,300, 150) $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 90, 60, 120, 30) GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, 768 + 8 + 128) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $Msg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $Msg Case -3, $Button1 Exit EndSwitch #cs uncomment this if you have a very large listview or any other control that is very close to the gui borders, this makes sure the resize cursor gets reset properly. If WinActive($Form1) Then Local $mgetinfo = MouseGetCursor(), $aMouseInfo = GUIGetCursorInfo($Form1) If ($mgetinfo = 12) Or ($mgetinfo = 11) Or ($mgetinfo = 10) Or ($mgetinfo = 13) Then If Not ($aMouseInfo[4] = 0) Then GUISetCursor(2, 1) EndIf EndIf #ce WEnd #endregion Example ; #FUNCTION# ==================================================================================================================== ; Name ..........: _GUI_EnableDragAndResize ; Compatibility .: Windows 7 and above.

legend Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Thank's for this great borderless gui example.Could you please tell me what I would have to change, so it can't be resized?
BBs19 Posted October 12, 2015 Author Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) I have updated the script #1 Post. Now also supports Windows 7 classic theme and multi display, while maintaining Aero-Snap. Thank's for this great borderless gui example.Could you please tell me what I would have to change, so it can't be resized?If u just want a borderless window with only drag for moving window around, then you won't need this UDF for that A simple WS_POPUP will do it: #include <Windowsconstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> $Form1 = GUICreate("Example GUI", 300, 150, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP) GUISetBkColor(0x282828, $Form1) $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 90, 60, 120, 30) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $Msg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $Msg Case $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN;For Drag/moving gui around Local $aCurInfo = GUIGetCursorInfo($Form1) If ($aCurInfo[4] = 0) Then ; Mouse not over a control DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "ReleaseCapture") DllCall("user32.dll", "long", "SendMessage", "hwnd", $Form1, "int", 0x00A1, "int", 2, "int", 0) EndIf Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $Button1 Exit EndSwitch WEnd Edited October 12, 2015 by BBs19
