JockoDundee Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 For example, is this: Local $hChild = GUICreate("", 210, 72, 20, 15, $WS_POPUP, BitOR($WS_EX_LAYERED, $WS_EX_MDICHILD), $hGUI) somehow better or safer or clearer than: Local $hChild = GUICreate("", 210, 72, 20, 15, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_LAYERED + $WS_EX_MDICHILD, $hGUI) Code hard, but don’t hard code...

jchd Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 BitOR is safe but + may ruin the bits in its result. There are cases of such constants which have overlapping bits.

JockoDundee Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Ok, agree with both of you that there could be overlapping bits. Thanks for the link as well. And so I will always use BitOr. Just curious, though are some style sets designed on purpose not to have overlapping bits? Of course this drastically cuts the amount of info that can be stored, but I haven’t run into a problem with addition yet. Code hard, but don’t hard code...

Moderators Melba23 Posted September 24, 2020 Moderators Share Posted September 24, 2020 JockoDundee, Quote are some style sets designed on purpose not to have overlapping bits? Yes, many of the MsgBox styles are based on powers of 2. I always try to set the parameter styles in my UDFs in this way - this is from GUIListViewEx: ; $iAdded - 0 - No added features (default). To get added features add any of the following values ; + 1 - Sortable by clicking on column headers ; + 2 - Do not "select all" when editing item text ; + 4 - Continue edit within same ListView by triple mouse-click on editable column ; + 8 - Headers editable by Ctrl-click (only if column editable) ; + 16 - User coloured header ; + 32 - User coloured items ; + 64 - No external drag ; + 128 - No external drop ; + 256 - No delete on external drag/drop ; + 512 - No internal or external drag/drop ; + 1024 - Single cell highlight (forces single row selection) But I would still recommend using BitOr in all cases, just to be on the safe side. As a further complication some of the styles values occasionally overlap - for example some ListView $LVS_EX_* styles have the same numerical value as standard $WS_EX_* styles. So applying extended styles to a ListView should always be done using the _GUICtrlListView_SetExtendedListViewStyle function and not added to the ListView creation line as they will always be interpreted as the $WS_EX_* parameter in that case and you will not get the result you expect. Nothing to do with Autoit - blame MS!
