DropDownList(DDL for short) disappears after launch

[yawikflame]

Hi,

i wrote this script and i don't know why but when ever i run it, the DDL only appears after mousing over it.

Code: Select all

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
If ( !A_IsAdmin )
{
	Run *RunAs %A_ScriptFullPath%
	ExitApp
}
#Persistent
#SingleInstance,Force
SetTitleMatchMode, 2

Hi yawikflame,

I'm not sure but you should move the tab after any other control belonging to it. Alternatively, you can use WinSet, Redraw.

Code: Select all

GuiSize() {
	GUI, default
	GUI, +lastfound
	WinGet, list, ControlList ; retrieves a linefeed (`n) separated list of control names for all controls in a window
	w := "w" A_GuiWidth - padRight
	Loop, Parse, % list, `n
		GuiControl, move, %A_LoopField%, % w
	GuiControl, move, WindowTab, % "w" A_GuiWidth - 20
}
