Hello again!

Im looking for a way to create a Resizable Frame-less/Border-less GUI window.

Using the methods found here: https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/Moving_and_Resizing_PopUp_GUIs I can get the desired outcome I want but only for a single window. My application will be using Multiple windows I would like to have this same resizable functionality.

Also when using the above linked methods when the GUI loses focus, it sometime causes a crash.

Is there fast-track way to simplify getting my desired outcome?

 

Currently I have also experimented with Bitor($WS_POPUP, $WS_SIZEBOX) Which gets me the closest without using listeners/registers but still leaves me with a nasty skinny frame.

i'll be using this with XSkin if that helps any also, I have re-calibrated XSkin to get the proper image formating on the GUI and now i need the window to be resizable without a Frame/Border.

Perhaps there is a way to hook the resize to the Images..... lots more thinking to do, I appreciate any assistance you would have to offer. Thanks!

So in an amature fashion I have been trying to understand the functionality

Currently I am using this script to try to get the results I want. 

Looks like segregation between the two windows is not going to work, leaning towards the DLL calls to be the main pivotal point in the issue. probably not utilizing it right.

Thoughts?

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
#include <windowsconstants.au3>

;Global Const $WM_LBUTTONDOWN = 0x0201
Global Const $margin = 12; distance from edge of window where dragging is possible
Global $gui1, $gui2
Global $Gui = GUICreate("Win1", 420, 200, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP)
GUISetBkColor(0xf1f100)

Global $chk1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("allow resizing and dragging", 140, 40)
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKWIDTH)
Global $Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 140, 90, 150, 30)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $Gui)

Local $MainWinPos = WinGetPos($gui1)

CodeTinkerer,

You just need to determine which GUI is under the cursor when each handler function runs - like this:

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>

Global Const $iMargin = 12; distance from edge of window where dragging is possible
Global Const $SC_DRAGMOVE = 0xF012

Global $hGUI_1, $hGUI_2

Global $hGUI_1 = GUICreate("Win1", 420, 200, Default, Default, $WS_POPUP)
GUISetBkColor(0xF1F100)
Global $cChk_1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("allow resizing and dragging", 140, 40)
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKWIDTH)
Global $cButton_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 140, 90, 150, 30)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI_1)

Local $aMainWinPos = WinGetPos($hGUI_1)
Local $iLocFix = $aMainWinPos[0] + $aMainWinPos[2]

Global $hGUI_2 = GUICreate("Win2", 420, 200, $iLocFix, Default, $WS_POPUP)
GUISetBkColor(0x00F1F1)
Global $cChk_2 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("allow resizing and dragging", 140, 40)
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKWIDTH)
Global $cButton_2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 140, 90, 150, 30)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI_2)

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_LBUTTONDOWN, "_WM_LBUTTONDOWN")
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_MOUSEMOVE, "_SetCursor")

    Switch GUIGetMsg()

            $iCursorID = 10
        Case 4, 8

            $iCursorID = 12

        ; We need to drag GUI if cursor not over a control
        Local $aCurInfo = GUIGetCursorInfo($hUnder)
        If $aCurInfo[4] = 0 Then
            ; Send resize message to GUI
            _SendMessage($hUnder, $WM_SYSCOMMAND, $SC_DRAGMOVE, 0)
        EndIf

    Else
        ; Convert cursor type to resize code - Windows makes this extremely simple
        $iResizeType = 0xF000 + $iCursorType

        ; Send resize message to GUI
        _SendMessage($hUnder, $WM_SYSCOMMAND, $iResizeType, 0)
    EndIf



EndFunc   ;==>WM_LBUTTONDOWN

    If $aCurInfo[1] > $aWinPos[3] - $iMargin Then $iTopBot = 6
    ; Return combined location

EndFunc   ;==>_GetBorderType



Func _GetUnderHandle()
    ; Create structure to hold the position
    Local Static $tPoint = DllStructCreate($tagPOINT)
    ; Set the position into the structure
    DllStructSetData($tPoint, "x", MouseGetPos(0))
    DllStructSetData($tPoint, "y", MouseGetPos(1))
    ; And get the handle of the GUI under the cursor
    Return _WinAPI_WindowFromPoint($tPoint)
EndFunc

I added lots of comments but please do ask if anything is still unclear.

Melba,
 

Thanks for your assistance and pointing me in the right direction. I was lost. I did however attempt to do as you said and identify which window was under the cursor and modify accordingly but alas my result was sloppy dysfunctional code lol. Here is what I tried:

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <Windowsconstants.au3>
#include <SendMessage.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <WinAPIsys.au3>
#include <Misc.au3>

Global Const $iMargin = 4
; Set max and min GUI sizes

CodeTinkerer,

In the code I posted I have shown you how to determine which GUI is under the cursor - so why are you using _WinAPI_GetAncestor, returning that GUI title and than using that in a Switch structure to determine which GUI is active? What are you not telling me about what you are trying to do?

Yes, I was just showing you what I was coming up with while I waited for a response.

 

I did in fact take your example and assimilate it into my script. after close study and documentation of corse! I really appreciate it !

I plan to post the final result with resources once all the fine tuning is finished :)

I have attached the progress. 

to achieve full expand ability of the window I have altered the XSkin.au3 to my requirements such that vertical images are of a height at 1080px and horizontal images are a width of 1920px.

the window also includes a listview with a background image of 1920x1080.

 

Looks great! Functions well! But, there is a slight flickering problem when resizing the window and its much worse in an MDI environment with a background image on the parent window. This causes bright white flashes at a frequent interval when resizing the image. I am afraid that one of my users of the application I am working on might have epilepsy and I dont want to trigger that.

 

Is there no way to rezise the window AFTER the drag is complete? sort of like Linux style window resizing? or even windows does it at some points but I could not re-create.
