Moderators Melba23 Posted June 6, 2020 Moderators Share Posted June 6, 2020 argumentum, If I move the child creation line AFTER the creation of the controls, it seems to work the way you want. I imagine AutoIt is getting very confused by the fact you have 2 GUIs and do not specify which GUI is to receive the controls - it puts the controls in the visible one and is then uncertain of how to act with the child not having a "state" set.

argumentum Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 The OnEvent should trigger the event regardless. I would call this a bug but I'm not at that level of knowing, so.., will see.

The reason is to identify behavior. Regarding the OnEvent behavior, I coded around it to overcome the issue. but the $WS_TABSTOP = 0x00010000, I can not. $WS_TABSTOP behaves as expected in v3.2.12.1 but not in the v3.3.x.x versions. So there is more than one issue to look at. @jpm, would you kindly add them to the ticket tracker ? I don't believe I would do a good job adding them. If you rather not, let me know and I'll squeeze something out of my brain but again, I'm not the best for discerning each in a clear and explicit format. Meanwhile, if anyone can code something ( that don't use Send() ) to stop the dragging of the child GUI, I'll appreciate it. Fortunately found a way ( unless told to not go this way ) with this bellow: ( unless it brakes something else, will see ) ConsoleWrite((GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NCHITTEST, '__WM_NCHITTEST') ? '+ ' : '! ') & 'WM_NCHITTEST' & @CRLF) ; $WM_NCHITTEST = 0x0084 Func __WM_NCHITTEST($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam) #forceref $hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam ConsoleWrite('+ Func __WM_NCHITTEST(' & $hWnd & ', ' & $iMsg & ', ' & $wParam & ', ' & $lParam & ')' & @CRLF) Return 0 ; ..to not continue ;~ Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG EndFunc ;==>__WM_NCHITTEST ...and it broke the resize. I'm using WM_GETMINMAXINFO to snap it back into place. Edit 3: I'm finally using WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING to keep it in place, anchored to a Ctrl in the main GUI. ..and in case someone wants to register almost all 219 messages from the help file, here is the discovery/brute force tool GUIRegisterMsgThemAll_UDF_v2.zip Edited July 6, 2020 by argumentum updated the UDF/tool Follow the link to my code contribution ( and other things too ).
