GUICtrlCreateGroup() size/position affected by default font size.

[Spiff59]

As the small demo script shows, the top coordinate (and therefore also the height) of a group controls graphic is affected by the default font size.

$GUI_Main = GuiCreate("", 480, 280)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI_Main)

$len = 360
Display_Group()
Sleep(1000)
GUISetFont(14)
$len = 320
Display_Group()
Sleep(1000)
GUISetFont(6)
$len = 280
Display_Group()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = -3 Then   ExitLoop
Wend
Exit

Can you update the example Display_Group is missing?

under which env are you running?

Pardon me, a faulty late-night cut-and-paste. Here is the complete demo script.
I'm running XP Pro SP3.

GuiCreate("", 480, 280)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

$len = 360
Display_Group()
Sleep(1000)
GUISetFont(14)
$len = 320
Display_Group()
Sleep(1000)
GUISetFont(6)
$len = 280
Display_Group()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = -3 Then   ExitLoop
Wend
Exit

;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Func Display_Group()
    GUICtrlCreateGroup("", 20, 80, $len, 90)
    GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)
EndFunc

In fact no the group control is created at the same position .
You can verify using "AutoIt Info Tool".
It look like the way the group is drawnis affected internaly by the font.
Just Ask MS why ...
