Child GUI Not dragging with parent

[ericbartha]

Hey everyone,

I am trying to get a child GUI "log in" box to drag with the main window of the application, yet it is not. I've read through a bunch of other threads with similar issues, but cannot seem to find a resolution. I've only started learning to make GUI's 3 days ago, so I am hoping someone a little more experienced can identify my flaw. Here's my code:

expandcollapse popup

#include <Inet.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <FontConstants.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <AutoItConstants.au3>

Global $sMainDir = "G:\Eric\LoginGUITesting\"

formLogIn()

Func formLogIn()

    Local $iFormBGState = WinGetState("BT Dashboard")

    If BitAND($iFormBGState, 1) Then

        ; Do Nothing

    Else

        Local $f_programBG = GUICreate("BT Dashboard", @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight - 40, 0, 0, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX + $WS_MINIMIZEBOX)
        GUISetBkColor(0x333333, $f_programBG)
        GUISetIcon($sMainDir & "Images\hacuIcon.ico")

        WinSetState($f_programBG,"",@SW_MAXIMIZE)

    EndIf

    Local $f_logIn = GUICreate("f_logIn", 350, 400, -1, -1,$WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOPMOST, $f_programBG)
    GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFFF)

I am really lost on this one, so any help would be appreciated! Oh - and since the GUI does contain custom images, here is a screenshot to help you visualize.

Thanks, everyone!

$WS_CHILD    

Local $f_logIn = GUICreate("f_logIn", 350, 400, -1, -1,$WS_CHILD, $WS_EX_TOPMOST, $f_programBG)

... I ... no words. I completely missed that one. It works perfectly now.

Thanks, Mikell.
