This function defines how controls should be automatically positioned relatively to the new dimensions of a GUI when resized (see example).

I use it and another function almost just like it to resize one of my GUI's. It has 29 controls (that are run through the functions) including one listview and four tabs. Works great! 
One thing that I did because I'm so lazy, is changed the order of the params to the function...
From:
Anchor(Control, Anchors="", x=0, y=0, w=0, h=0)
To:
Anchor(x=0, y=0, w=0, h=0, Control, Anchors="")
This made it a bit easier to create the call for most of the controls since it somewhat follows the format of most of my GUI, Add statements. That is, the x-y-h-w coords first usually followed by a variable name. Using a few find and replace statements with my editor could then do most of the work. Hope that makes sense...

The open source is there so you can customize it to your needs  . Glad you liked it anyway. |

| Great script. It should probably be one of the things put in the forthcoming library of standard include files. |

I updated the function again. This time it's even easier to use.

Does this library already exist?

It's me again. As I'm using an older version of this function in BBCodeWriter I thought about updating to your new one. But I don't get the point of how to use it. Could you give me a short example?
I meanwhile took your old function and replaced GuiControl, Move with GuiControl, MoveDraw to workaround a displaying error when resizing the GUI in x-direction.
This is your older one:
| Code: | Anchor(Control, Anchors="", x=0, y=0, w=0, h=0)
{
; Thanks to Titan for this function
; Details under http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=26778
; Control : Variable assigned to the control (e.g. "MyEdit")
; Anchors : How control to be moved (e.g. "xy" for position or "wh" for size)
; x, y, w, h : respective values of control
; (note you can omit values that aren't needed by the Anchors by putting any value)
global GuiW, GuiH
If (not Anchors)
Anchors = xy
If Anchors contains x
GuiControl, MoveDraw, % Control, % "x" x+(A_GuiWidth-GuiW)
If Anchors contains y
GuiControl, MoveDraw, % Control, % "y" y+(A_GuiHeight-GuiH)
If Anchors contains w
GuiControl, MoveDraw, % Control, % "w" w+(A_GuiWidth-GuiW)
If Anchors contains h
GuiControl, MoveDraw, % Control, % "h" h+(A_GuiHeight-GuiH)
} |
I call it this way:
| Code: | ...
Anchor("EdtComment", "wh", 0, 0, EdtW, EdtH)
Anchor("GrpMenuBorder", "w", 0, 0, GrpW, 0)
Anchor("ChkSig", "y", 0, ChkY, 0, 0)
Anchor("DDLSig", "y", 0, DDLY, 0, 0)
Anchor("BtnEditSig", "y", 0, BSgY, 0, 0)
Anchor("BtnDelSig", "y", 0, BSgY, 0, 0)
Anchor("BtnSend", "xy", BG1X, BG3Y, 0, 0)
Anchor("BtnPreview", "xy", BG2X, BG3Y, 0, 0)
Anchor("BtnReset", "xy", BG3X, BG3Y, 0, 0)
Anchor("BtnPinned", "x", BG4X, 0, 0, 0)
... |
How would I have to call your updated function? I tried to remove all anchors to make the syntax compatible to your new function but it didn't work.
| Code: | | Anchor("EdtComment", 0, 0, EdtW, EdtH) |

Replace the 0's with a blank value (i.e. ""). If you want to force a MoveDraw, specify an extra parameter of 1. Using your code the correct version would be: Anchor("EdtComment", "", "", EdtW, EdtH, 1).

Thx Titan. I made the changes and it works great.
btw. wouldn't it be better to set Draw to 1? Because I spotted this displaying error when resizing a GUI in x-direction when using a normal move instead of a MoveDraw.
Therefore I predefined Draw to 1:
| Code: | Anchor(Control, x=0, y=0, w=0, h=0, Draw=1)
{
; Thanks to Titan for this function
; Details under http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=26778
; Control : Variable assigned to the control (e.g. "MyEdit")
; x, y, w, h : the anchor positions/dimensions
; Draw : false/0 to use Move otherwise leave blank for a MoveDraw
global GuiW, GuiH
IfEqual, GuiW
{
SetEnv, GuiW, %A_GuiWidth%
}
IfEqual, GuiH
{
SetEnv, GuiH, %A_GuiHeight%
}
pos = xywh
Loop, Parse, pos
{
If (%A_LoopField% != "")
{
If A_LoopField in x,w
{
v := %A_LoopField% + (A_GuiWidth - GuiW)
}
Else
{
v := %A_LoopField% + (A_GuiHeight - GuiH)
}
move := move . A_LoopField . v
}
IfNotEqual, Draw, 0
{
SetEnv, MDraw, Draw
}
}
GuiControl, Move%MDraw%, %Control%, %move%
Return, ErrorLevel
} |

Setting Draw to 1 means a MoveDraw will be used instead. MoveDraw causes flickering with other controls like Edit so the standard Draw is better. If you have more buttons in your GUI then you can set Draw to 1 in the first line of the function without having to change anything else.

In version 2 you don't need to define GuiW or GuiH for multiple GUI's. I've also combined the x/y/w/h params so it's similar to GuiControl - see the example.
Older versions are still available for download.

Thanks. I have a bad habbit of not commenting my scripts and using short/cryptic variable names so I have to apologize if parts were hard to understand. Atleast this means they're smaller in size thus include-friendly

Version 3 is much easier to use. The function does all the calculations itself so resizing with multiple windows and relatively positioned controls are not a problem at all. For example you can call Anchor("MyEdit", "wh") without having to specify the width, height or window number.
