 |
|
It would be a real time- and code-saver if we could specify "hwndVariableName" in the Gui, Show options kind of like in the Gui, Add options. Only this time it would store the hwnd of the GUI window rather than the control being added. Is this a possibility?

I was thinking the same, but more like:
This way I don't need to show gui to be able to get its handle in single line.
This also comes good, compared to similar option for controls.

I'd be perfectly happy with that as well

As long as it does not conflict with the Hide option, it can still be made part of Gui, Show
| Code: |
Gui, Show, Hide HWNDVar

Following not having to show the Gui...I suggested this a long time ago...(even before the hwnd option was in Gui, Add)...
...my syntax at that time was...
| Code: | Gui, New[, Options]
Gui, New, vhwndmain
Gui, Add, Text, , This is my main window, boring ain't it?
Gui, New, vhwndoptions
Gui, Add, Text, , This is a window that would be spawned from main...it's the options window. |
...using Gui, New, v as the option & hwndmain as the variable name...that's one thing I don't like about the current hwnd option I need to use it like...
| Code: | | Gui, Add, Text, hwndhwndtext, Text |
...with the "hwnd" doubled cuz it's the option's name & part of the var name...I can't currently think of a solution to this...since hwnd is the only obvious option name & I like having hwnd as part of the var name...but in my Gui, New syntax I used v to assign a variable to the Gui, the same as assigning a variable to a control (& as I said hwnd didn't exist as an option anywhere yet)...
I'd also like to suggest some way to specify the outerwidth & outerheight...Gui, Show, w319 h119 does not give you a 319x119 window...so I always Gui, Show, Hide, then WinMove to set my Gui's size...but I'd like both...
| Code: | Gui, Show, ow319 oh119 ;//o meaning outer
Gui, New, ow319 oh119 ;//o meaning outer |
...or maybe...
| Code: | Gui, Show, w319 h119 ;//default to outer
Gui, Show, cw319 ch119 ;//specify client coords
Gui, New, w319 h119 ;//default to outer
Gui, New, cw319 ch119 ;//specify client coords |

NO!
That is not good, as it implies that gui must be shown to get its handle, which is usless.

How about Gui, +HwndMyVar

It seems to me that engunneer was suggesting both could be implemented. It isn't always necessary to get the hwnd before showing the GUI.
Personally, I'm indifferent as to whether I must use
| Code: | Gui, +LastFound
MyVar := WinExist() |
orIn some cases, +LastFound is better since the variable can be avoided altogether.
Speaking of time- and code-savers, the + is superfluous... |

I agree that this wish should be very low on priority list

I think it should be a generic option that can either be used in Gui, Show's options, or as a Gui option itself on a separate command.
Like lexikos mentioned, it doesn't make a big difference from using the old method, except
1. If used with Gui, Show it would save two lines instead of one
2. It would be consistent with the functionality of GUI controls' hwnd option
Other than that, yeah, I think there should be much higher things on a priority scale.
