I usually just right-click the taskbar and choose "Cascade windows", then it comes back to primary monitor.

Yes, that's neat but this function is meant for multi-GUI apps like Peace equalizer for instance. In this app most gui's are closed and not even created. So I use _WindowForceToPrimaryMonitor() to get the opened/created GUI on the primary monitor if other monitors are off/disconnected.

Version 1.25 released, New is _GUIResize() to resize according to the size given in GUICreate() which is the client size of a window. An absolute or delta (relative) size can be given. Also new are _IsBit() for testing a bit and _BitSet() for setting/unsetting a bit. Also new: _Decimals() returns the decimal part (after the point) of a number.

By using the new numberbox library of PAL version 1.27 an input control can be limited to integers, reals, hexadecimals or bits. Examples:

 

_GUICtrlNumberBox_Create("999", 7, 0, 0, 100, 25)
GUICtrlSetTip(-1, "Format 999: Positive integer of maximum length of 3")

_GUICtrlNumberBox_Create("-9.999", -3.141, 0, 0, 100, 25)
GUICtrlSetTip(-1, "Format -9.999: Positive/negative real of length 1 before decimal point and length 3 after")

$nNumberBox = GUICtrlCreateInput("123", 0, 0, 100, 25)
_NumberBoxAdd($nNumberBox,"999")
GUICtrlSetTip(-1,"The 999 number format is added later on to this standard input box")

$nBinaryBox = _GUICtrlNumberBox_Create("b10000000", "01010101", 0, 0, 100, 25)
GUICtrlSetTip(-1,"Binary format b10000000: 8 bits, maximum of 128 decimal")

$nOffSetY += $nNumberBoxHeight+5 $nHexaBox = _GUICtrlNumberBox_Create("h8000", "0000", 0, 0, 100,25)
GUICtrlSetTip(-1,"Hexadecimal format h8000: maximum of 8000 hexadecimal")

For this you need to register the numberbox handler, some like so:

_NumberBoxRegister()
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$hGUI)
While 1
  $aMsg = GUIGetMsg(1)
  Switch $aMsg[0]
      Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop
  EndSwitch
WEnd
_NumberBoxRegister($NB_UNREGISTER) 
GUIDelete($hGUI)

Or add the following to your existing handler:

Func MyHandler($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)
   ....
   _NumberBoxHandler($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)
   ....
EndFunc

As usual the new functions are described in the PAL manual, see files on website.
