The following "Winset, Region" code works on my XP system but incorrectly on Vista.
Using Notepad as the active window, the client area is reduced, but the frame/border around the application remains.
Notice the blue frame and the close/min/max buttons still visible? http://www.autohotkey.net/~Leef_me/winset_problem.jpg
BTW, after 5 seconds the active window IS restored correctly.

Can several people run the script and report OS and whether the frame is hidden or left visible?

If you have an answer why/work-around I welcome that as well.

Thanks in advance.

Leef_me: Why double post?? The script works like a charm for me on Windows XP Pro. SP2. It nicely sliced my Notepad in half.

P.S. I know it's silly, but I liked the way the mouse slowly moved from one corner of the window to the other.

It does what expected at my winXP computer.
The maximize minimize buttons are away.

@Murple
Yes, I hate D.P. but it appeared the original thread was no longer being seen.
I need some 'trials' to confirm or deny my theory that it is Vista based.

Thanks for your response.

Hi Leef_me,

I tested your script in Vista, Sp1 and it works fine.

Good Luck

Bump, just a quick test. Takes 5 minutes max!

works like you want it in XP SP3

On XP SP2: Works fine

On Vista: Not working, tried with notepad, firefox, same problem as on the screenshot.
On autohotkeys debugging window on the other hand, it worked like a charm.

Cheers,

I don't think this is actually a problem, but the way WinVista behaves to the function...

[ahklerner]

i think it probably depends on if you have transparency enabled
