I am trying to implement 2 side window toggle hide and show with 2 different menu.  can someone give me some direction  thanks

[Melba23]

antonioj84,

Why hijack a completely unrelated thread when you could just open a new one - as I have now done for you?

That code is just Example 7 in my  GUIExtender download - and it works as expected. Now I will be happy to help you integrate my UDF into your script so it works as you wish, but firstly please explain exactly what you want to do - "2 side window toggle hide and show with 2 different menu" is as clear as mud.

Hey Melba here you go,  this what I mean a picture worth a thousand word. Thanks for opening the thread lesson learned. I can toggle

antonioj84,

I think I understand, but it will be tomorrow before I can do anything - see you then.

antonioj84,

My apologies, I have been very busy lately and I completely forgot about this thread -  I will try and find time to look into the problem today.

Note to all readers: if you want help with one my UDFs it is best to post in the UDF thread so that I am guaranteed to remember it.

thanks Melba23

[antonioj84]

hi Melba,

 

i am trying to do 2 thing and i hope you can help

1. i want the blue window to be static and the pink can be hidden and un-hidden 

2 i want the blue window  -  half  window that can be extended vertically ( hidden and un-hidden ) see below

[Melba23]

antonioj84,

The UDF will only work in one sense within the same GUI - either horizontally or vertically. I did try once to make it bi-directional, but the logistics got too complex - especially if the sizes of the sections in the 2 directions were not compatible and there was not a fixed anchor section.

But in your case it looks possible that using a child GUI to do the other direction might work - I will see if I can come up with something this morning.

hi Melba, i have  these issues below:

1. Main menu i can not apply the colour blue (if colour is  added the extender  arrow no longer work)

2. The extended menu pink i can not add  control in the menu

3. Bottom Menu is fine

4. How to access control for the 3 menus , can you provide an example  ( 3 while loop or one single one)

antonioj84,

1. You forgot the line to disable the coloured label, so none of the other controls will work as AutoIt cannot tell which overlapped control you wish to action.

2. Just add them within the section creation structure as I have done in the amended example below.

3. You were reusing the same variable names that you used in the Blue section to store the ControlIDs for the controls in Green section. Hence you overwrote the Blue values and they no longer work. Just use different variable names - again as in the script below.

4. Just look for the ControlIDs as normal. Guess what? The example below shows you how to do it:

expandcollapse popup

Thanks Melba,  I am good to go

[antonioj84]

hi there Melba,

i am almost there, your UdF is very helpful

i am not able to pass value from the blue menu to the green menu otherwise i can send value directly to green . can you show me an example

 

thanks

 

[Melba23]

antonioj84,

That is nothing to do with my UDF. Just use GUICtrlRead on the controls you use to set the required values, concatenate them, and then add the resulting string to the control in the Green section. You created all of these controls inside your script so you can read and write to them as normal.

If you want more help then post the script you are using so I do not have to write one.

M23

P.S. And I have moved your last post to your existing GUIExtender help thread as it has nothing to do with the UDF.

[antonioj84]

hi Melba,

Great to know, let me try to figure it out.

Thanks

Hi Melba,

you are correct, thanks  so much for  the assistance.

i am wondering does the GUI Extender support borderless GUI, i am trying to hack your code  to no success, the closest i got..  the bottom of the GUI  will be borderless, more in particular the Gui above post #11, i want  top to be borderless

#include <GuiconstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <SendMessage.au3>

Global Const $SC_DRAGMOVE = 0xF012

    Exit

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN
            _SendMessage($hGUI, $WM_SYSCOMMAND, $SC_DRAGMOVE, 0)
    EndSwitch
WEnd
