I having a little problem that I'm hoping you can help me with. When all of the buttons fit on a single toolbar line, everything looks fine. For example (code block used for the fixed font):

Yes. I have idea. I hope it will work.

Using the _Test.ahk sample, you can experiment and see when does that happen.

I noticed that if there are not separators, it doesn't happen. It also seems that separator size influence the additional space.

Start to _Test.ahk, press Define, Press Insert several times. You will see your problem. Press Clear, remove all separators, press Insert several times and it should work. To see separator size influnce, just repeat this with various separator sizes. For instance, with "---------" separator the bottom line is OK, but there is lot of empty space between the button bars.

Let me know if you find another explanation or way to fix it.

BTW, I didn't try those "dynamic toolbar" scenarios in my real life scripts. So far I had always fixed toolbars and everything works OK with them. But perhaps using last parameter of Toolbar_Add can be of help here (so you can readjuce the toolbar size after adding buttons). Also, browse the MSDN Reference, maybe there is some important part of the API I skipped or thought it isn't that important at the time of making.

Thanks for your help again. I hope we can make this important module perfect for everyday use.

There is one problem with your code jballi. The clicking stops working in some scenarios.

1. I have two toolbars
2. On 2nd toolbar I click button, which brings 2nd gui, i don't move mouse. Then I close the window with ESC
3. Application gets focus and if toolbar is first control cretated it takes the focus and fires "hot" event, setting it to 1
4. Now click doesn't work until you move the mouse and make another hot event fire.



Strange scenario... Problem is with single statics handling different toolbars .

Something needs to be done... either using storage function to keep different vars for different toolbars or something else that doesn't involve statics .


Check the screen:


You can see on screen that both Toolbars have focus. I clicked last button on 2nd one, and after I released gui it showed, first one got focus by the system (Scheduler button).

OK, I hope I fixed the problem by using only statics in onNotify.
Now each toolbar keeps its settings and with single toolbar it doesn't happen (for me at least).

God bless Lexikos for "assume static"

One more bug with the code...

Hot event isn't reported if FLAT style is not present. On some computers FLAT is always set (must be the theme) on some not...

Thats kind of a problem , unless you want all ur toolbars to be flat.

OK, I changed the code in what seems to work and looks much less complex.

Try it, see if it works for you. I tested on above sample and it behaves normally.

There's a bug when specifying the style "nodivder" for toolbar_add

line1035: variable name contains an illegal character

I missed this post from the first round of messages you sent.

*** version 2.2 ***
! OnNotify events fixed (hopefully)
! Changed OnNotify redirection to fix problems with AHK native controls

I realised this: any valid click will have enddrag & click executing near eachother (so time difference will be 0ms). When you click the mouse offscreen and release it on toolbar button it will not receive enddrag so time will be > 0. Enddrag can happen imediatelly after click only if you pressed lbutton and released it on the same button. If you release it outside toolbar you will get ENDDRAG but no CLICK. In your maximization thing you will only have CLICK without ENDDRAG since you never clicked the button.
