However, since you are using primarlly AHK GUIs, its better to use DockA (and much smoother):

However,if I will replace the text in 'text layer' with a picture, I cant grab and move it no more, but only by click and drag the background.
That is in v2.0b3. I will test DockA now

Brabus · Guest

No, DockA isn't working neither on text, nor picture.
Better v2.0b3. At least is working on text

The stuff you are talking about are not related to docking.
Also, it works. I posted you above DockA sample that works on your code.

Its important to realize DockHost movement is important, not client movement. When host moves, client moves. When client moves host does nothing. Thats docking. You obviously want to merge 2 guis as single up so docking might not be appropriate solution for you.

I'm sorry.
I understand.
Any suggestion for a better approach ?

that's it!..^0x00000020 - click through text layer Laughing

Hey Maj,

I have this test script that will attach a GUI dock when a new instance of Notepad is created.

Do you have an idea of how to create another dock if another notepad window is opened?

So far, it only works for one instance.

Thanks for the Dock function.

You can't have more then 1 dock host with this module.
The closest you can get is to make clients jump to another notepad when it gets activated.

I plan to allow multiple hosts and dynamic hosts (i.e. function that returns true if window is host or false if its not) in the future versions.

Just change Dock_HostId when you detect new notepad is activen and call Dock_Update.

I just tested this library and it is great. But first it did not work until I looked at the source. It contains subroutines which ends the the AutoExec section if I include it at the beginning of my script (like I do it allways).
I think at least there should be a requirement or limitation notice about that. May be some other are already irritated and gave up trying.

Isn`t it possible to wrap them out in functions? I see you are using SetTimer. I would appreciate if you find a way to avoid global subroutines. Would it work to put them in the function itself?? I tried a simple test of _Test2.ahk. But I dont know if there is any hidden bug because of that change.

Now I see a real world need and usage of SetTimers with function calls.
