The following "Winset, Region" code works on my XP system but incorrectly on Vista.
Using Notepad as the active window, the client area is reduced, but the frame/border around the application remains.
Notice the blue frame and the close/min/max buttons still visible? http://www.autohotkey.net/~Leef_me/winset_problem.jpg
BTW, after 5 seconds the active window IS restored correctly.

:?: Can several people run the script and report OS and whether the frame is hidden or left visible?

If you have an answer why/work-around I welcome that as well.

Thanks in advance.

Code:
CoordMode, mouse, Screen

msgbox Press #q to make active window smaller
return

;----------- Operate by hotkey, Win-q
#q::

;----------- find the title and coordinates of active window
WinGetActiveTitle, OutputVar
WinGetPos , X, Y, Width, Height, %OutputVar%


;----------- move to UL and LR diagonal corners to show size
sleep, 1000
mousemove, %x%, %y%, 20

sleep, 1000
x1:=x+width
y1:=y+height
mousemove, %x1%, %y1%, 20

sleep, 1000

;----------- half the width, half the height, change visible region

w:= Width/2
h:= Height/2

WinSet, Region , 0-0 w%w% h%h% , %OutputVar%

Leef_me: Why double post?? The script works like a charm for me on Windows XP Pro. SP2. It nicely sliced my Notepad in half.

P.S. I know it's silly, but I liked the way the mouse slowly moved from one corner of the window to the other.

It does what expected at my winXP computer.
The maximize minimize buttons are away.

@Murple
Yes, I hate D.P. but it appeared the original thread was no longer being seen.
I need some 'trials' to confirm or deny my theory that it is Vista based.

Thanks for your response.

Hi Leef_me,

I tested your script in Vista, Sp1 and it works fine. :lol:

Good Luck

On XP SP2: Works fine

On Vista: Not working, tried with notepad, firefox, same problem as on the screenshot.
On autohotkeys debugging window on the other hand, it worked like a charm.

Cheers,

gahks

I don't think this is actually a problem, but the way WinVista behaves to the function...

You don't consider that a problem :shock: :lol:

Thanks, that seems to be the first direct clue. I'll investigate.

:arrow: BTW, neither of you bothered to post your results. :roll:
