As docs state: If no function can be found by the given name, an A (ANSI) or W (Unicode) suffix is automatically appended based on which version of AutoHotkey is running the script. For example, "MessageBox" is the same as "MessageBoxA" in ANSI versions and "MessageBoxW" in Unicode versions. The thi...

I just needed the OnMessage thanks!

I've never seen anyone customize this context menu, is it at all possible?
Also i'm curious if it's possible to completely remove it (so nothing happens when right clicking the titlebar)

Figured it out, gotta -E0x80000 before setparenting to null and then can just do +E0x80000 right after.
In the SetParent function docs the remarks section explains it.

Anyone familiar with layered windows, when setting DllCall("User32.dll\SetParent", "Ptr", GuiHwnd, "Ptr", 0) (unparenting) the gui, it disappears, i'm guessing UpdateLayeredWindow from the gdip library is relevant here? I guess this demonstrates the issue: #SingleInstance, Force Gui, Show, w300 h300...

You should search websockets in 100% AHK on git by shadowrun it is based on socket.ahk it's good example you might also find websockets client Would you mind to provide a link as it look hard to find (well, I'm probably to dumb to accomplish that)? :eh: https://github.com/gustavooavila/Autohotkey-W...

So i'm working with geek Dude's Socket.ahk I've read up on it and apparently i need to set the socket to "non-blocking" mode ( last post here describes it ) and then with the select function i can set the timeout for connecting. I've tried for the past couple days but i just can't figure anything ou...

Any ideas why? An...

just me Niiice, proper math and i didn't know TBM_GETCHANNELRECT returned the position of the slider without the padding :D so i can use it for WinSet, Region as well! Thank you! Side note: I respect you a lot, you have no idea how much your posts on the forum helped me when it comes to gui stuff.

teadrinker Well the padding is still there, you're just removing the focus from the control! :P (i'm guessing you thought the dotted lines were my issue) I mainly need it for something like this: #SingleInstance, Force OnMessage(0x201, "WM_LBUTTONDOWN") Gui, +hwndGuiHwnd Gui, Add, Slider, h100 +hwn...

Well yeeeah but like i've said, i need the specific "setparent a control to statusbar" functionality. I was thinking something like this: #SingleInstance, Force OnMessage(0x201, "WM_LBUTTONDOWN") Gui, Main: +hwndMainGuiHwnd Gui, Main: Add, StatusBar, h100 -Theme +Backgroundffffff +hwndSBHwnd SendMe...

Nah it's too janky. I'll try to figure something else out when i get some free time and i'll post here if i figure it out.
Thanks for your time @teadrinker ! (:

I've tried with WM_NOTIFY before but it fires a lot (for example, click and hold on the button and move your mouse off and on the button a couple of times) also, even clicking once fires it a lot: Gui, Main: +hwndMainGuiHwnd Gui, Main: Add, StatusBar, h100 -Theme +Backgroundffffff +hwndSBHwnd -0x400...

So my only way is to use onmessage WM_LBUTTONDOWN & WM_LBUTTONUP ?
