Sir,

Can you advise if your script works on a Windows 7 machine?

yes

Any chance to see support for docking to multiple parent windows (of other processes)?
Or an example how to implement the z-order behavior properly. I would like to have the same behavior as with SetParent(), but without clipping the child window at the parent window's borders.

Edit: I just saw that this feature is actually available in your WIN library. I believe that this should be much more prominent in AHK and I'll make a feature request to add it to the GUI command.

Sir,

I had this working for me and after I updated to the latest AutoHotKey_L (unicode 32 bit) the dock stopped working. I'm using Windows 7. Any ideas as to what happened to my dock?

Ok - I noticed a few posts back Fragman mention removing the [ and ] from the variable. Do you by chance have the updated dock.ahk with this variable to work with _L?

There is a AHK_L compatible version of dock available in Majkinetors Forms Framework. I don't no wether it meets all of your questions, but I think it's the successor of dock ...

Just do a search and replace
"[" --> "_"
"]" --> "_"
and dock.ahk should work with _L.

To Majkinetor:
Can a single script be used to dock copies of the client gui to multiple hosts ?
I am trying to use dock to hide the title bar of multiple 3rd party windows at once. I want to cover up the title bar of the other windows even if they don't have focus (titlebutton 0.31 won't work). Will I have to launch a separate script per host ?

would be better if the dock function took the host hwnd as a parameter also, instead of making it global: Dock_HostID

thanks for this very useful script.

Sorry if this has been asked already but after compiling a script for the dock module the dock.ahk fails to open. Any ideas as to what might be causing this? It works fine when the script is a .ahk. I don't want to deploy this as an .ahk and instead would like to compile it.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
