RectRgn GetPos

[Deye]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how can I get the drawn rectangle Positions as if  it was a control placed on the main gui once PRIMARYDOWN mouse is up used with ControlGetPos (for instance)

I dont understand how i may get the positions of the rectangle and make it relative to the gui

in the example I'm trying to get a positive return if I will draw the rectangle over the button and false in the rectangle is drawn else where @not over the button

Thanks

Just updated my question .. The example now includes @kafu's example from here in hopes that it can be worked out in the suggested way 

the example is roughly put there are many things that aren't getting properly considered ( I know)

in the example I'm trying to get a positive return if I will draw the rectangle over the button and false in the rectangle is drawn else where @not over the button

if not and this  can get  done in another way, Please suggest 

Thanks

@Nine Not quite there: if you draw  a  rectangle  anywhere over a control it should return true !!

i tried doing it your way and it seemed to work for a while till I tried drawing the rectangle in a reversed way then the calculations need to change apparently but didn't get to make it work

;.......>
    Local $idPos = ControlGetPos ($hWnd, "", $idCtrl)
    If $idPos[0] > $aPos[2] Then
    ElseIf $aPos[2] > $idPos[0] + $idPos[2] And $aPos[0] > $idPos[0] + $idPos[2] Then
    Else
        If $aPos[3] + ($aPos[1] - $aPos[3]) < $idPos[1] Or $aPos[3] > $idPos[1] + $idPos[3] Then
        Else
            Return True
        EndIf
    EndIf
    Return False

Edit: maybe this will do it:

;.......>
    Local $idPos = ControlGetPos ($hWnd, "", $idCtrl)
    $RectR = $aPos[2] > $aPos[0] ? $aPos[2] : $aPos[0]
    $RectL = ($RectR = $aPos[2] ? $aPos[0] : $aPos[2])
    $RectT = $aPos[3] < $aPos[1] ? $aPos[3] : $aPos[1]
    $RectB = ($RectT = $aPos[3] ? $aPos[1] : $aPos[3])

    Local $idPos = ControlGetPos($hWnd, "", $idCtrl)
    If $idPos[0] > $RectR Then
    ElseIf $RectR > $idPos[0] + $idPos[2] And $RectL > $idPos[0] + $idPos[2] Then
    Else
        If $RectT + ($RectB - $RectT) < $idPos[1] Or $RectT > $idPos[1] + $idPos[3] Then
        Else
            Return True
        EndIf
    EndIf
    Return False
EndFunc   ;==>Check

maybe if we could get the rect pointers of the $hRectangle_GUI  relative to the main gui  it be easier to make it work with kafu's example

5 hours ago, Deye said:

Ah, I thought the rectangle need to cover all the control, then change the return to this :

Return $idPos[0] <= $aPos[2] And $idPos[1] <= $aPos[3] And $idPos[0] + $idPos[2] - 1 >= $aPos[0] And $idPos[1] + $idPos[3] - 1 >= $aPos[1]

Makes it more readable. 

Ya,  I forgot about drawing the rectangle from bottom to top or right to left.  Good catch
