GUICtrlCreateUpdown & $GUI_DOCKRIGHT misbehaved

[argumentum]

GUICtrlCreateUpdown & $GUI_DOCKRIGHT dont play along with GUICtrlSetState( CtrlCreateUpdown ,  $GUI_HIDE ).
Here is an example to shows it's misbehaviour:

expandcollapse popup

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>

Global $idLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("try OnTop and resize, the UpDown does not behave as expacted, play around, you'll see", 16, 52, 356, 100)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 26, 400, 0, "Lucida Console")
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKLEFT + $GUI_DOCKRIGHT + $GUI_DOCKTOP + $GUI_DOCKBOTTOM)
Global $idCk_KeepOnTop = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("OnTop", 280, 12, 97, 25, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_CHECKBOX, $BS_PUSHLIKE))
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKRIGHT + $GUI_DOCKTOP + $GUI_DOCKWIDTH + $GUI_DOCKHEIGHT)
Global $idSetTrans = GUICtrlCreateInput("0", 200, 12, 69, 24, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_INPUT, $ES_CENTER))
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 400, 0, "Lucida Console")
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKRIGHT + $GUI_DOCKTOP + $GUI_DOCKWIDTH + $GUI_DOCKHEIGHT)
Global $StatusBar1 = _GUICtrlStatusBar_Create($idGui)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Global $idSetTransUpdown = GUICtrlCreateUpdown($idSetTrans)
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKRIGHT + $GUI_DOCKTOP + $GUI_DOCKWIDTH + $GUI_DOCKHEIGHT)
GUICtrlSetLimit($idSetTransUpdown, 9)
GUICtrlSetState($idSetTrans, $GUI_HIDE)
GUICtrlSetState($idSetTransUpdown, $GUI_HIDE)
GUICtrlSetState($idLabel, $GUI_FOCUS)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)


; this is to better show what I mean
WinMove($idGui,"",50,50,389+100,180)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            GUIDelete()
            Exit 0

        Case $GUI_EVENT_RESIZED
            _GUICtrlStatusBar_Resize($StatusBar1)

        Case $idSetTransUpdown
            GUICtrlSetState($idLabel, $GUI_FOCUS)

        Case $idSetTrans
            GUICtrlSetState($idLabel, $GUI_FOCUS)
            If Int(GUICtrlRead($idSetTrans)) Then
                WinSetTrans($idGui, "", 255 - (Int(GUICtrlRead($idSetTrans)) * 25))
            Else
                WinSetTrans($idGui, "", 255)
            EndIf

        Case $idCk_KeepOnTop
            GUICtrlSetState($idLabel, $GUI_FOCUS)
            If GUICtrlRead($idCk_KeepOnTop) = 1 Then
                GUICtrlSetState($idSetTransUpdown, $GUI_SHOW)
                GUICtrlSetState($idSetTrans, $GUI_SHOW)
                WinSetOnTop($idGui, "", 1)

                WinSetTrans($idGui, "", 255)
                GUICtrlSetState($idSetTrans, $GUI_HIDE)
                GUICtrlSetState($idSetTransUpdown, $GUI_HIDE)
            EndIf

    EndSwitch
WEnd

I believe not to be doing anything wrong, therefore I posted here.

If there is a workaround for this, please let me know.

And if you can open a ticket for it better, I've never done it before. I took the plunge and open a ticket for it

Thanks.

tweak the code to better show what I would like you to observe

if I do something like:

                f_TriggerGuiResize($idGui) ; ---- dirty fix

                WinSetOnTop($idGui, "", 1)

                GUICtrlSetState($idSetTransUpdown, $GUI_HIDE)
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func f_TriggerGuiResize($idGui)
    Local $a = WinGetPos( $idGui )
    If UBound($a) = 4 Then
        WinMove($idGui,"",$a[0],$a[1],$a[2],$a[3]+1)
        WinMove($idGui,"",$a[0],$a[1],$a[2],$a[3])
    EndIf
EndFunc

f_TriggerGuiResize($idGui) triggers the $GUI_EVENT_RESIZED. Is there a DLL call to fake it, as if it actually resized ?. That would fix my problem for now until a new version comes out.

clarify

@trancexx , could you help me ?, my trick does not work when the window is maximized and you are the only one I know of, can figure it out.

Thanks.

My grandmother has asked if you cannot place two hidden labels below the input and up-down controls, and use these labels to position the controls:

It's also my grandmother's opinion that the 3215-bug, could well be one of the bugs that are never solved (and it's not a big deal since there are so easy workarounds).

Thanks for the answer. In that same route, I decided, might as well delete the controls and recreate 'em when needed. Again, thanks, this workaround did not come to my mind, at all.

To all interested:
The issue reported by @argumentum is fixed by @jpm

https://www.autoitscript.com/trac/autoit/ticket/3215

The only one thing you should to do is to wait patiently for the fix to be approved and released in one of the next beta or final versions.

Please don't ask when it will be, I will answer right away   ..... when the right person has enough free time for it.
