GUICONTROL Hide not working as expected with Autosize

[cdjagain]

I'm clearing button off a GUI so I can add other options. Don't want to destroy GUI as it causes an annoy flicker, and this is run on a timer.

The code below hides the buttons and shows only the titlebar - as expected, removes 5 buttons

Code: Select all

	Loop, Parse, CList, `n
		{
			hid++
			guicontrol, mygui:Hide, %A_LoopField%
		}
		Gui, mygui:Show, Autosize

But when I add an new single button and Show as below the GUI shows blank/empty spaces where the 5 buttons were hidden + the new button.

Code: Select all

				gui, mygui:add, button,  gthis_link , %A_Loopfield%
				Gui, mygui:Show, Autosize				

Why ? How do I stop the "old" hidden buttons from taking space on the GUI ?

You could try to move the old buttons. Move them to position (0,0) with width and height also 0,0.
Their new position may also be negative, positive values will occupy "real estate" on the GUI.

Thanks for the suggestion...

I added

Code: Select all

guicontrol, mygui:Move,  %A_LoopField%, x-100, y-100 w0 h0

didn't make any difference.

As soon as the

Code: Select all

Gui, mygui:Show, Autosize, My BPQ tabs

executes the buttons appear in their original locations, pushing my new buttons to the bottom of the GUI with blanks above

try this: guicontrol, mygui:Move, %A_LoopField%, x-100 y-100 w0 h0
