[Kevin]

Code:

Copy      Help

;/mov0 318 431 /siz 144 25 /set 1|4|32 /transp "" b

[John]

no i mean the code your using the call the toolbar mac ""

[Kevin]

!a"- Notepad" "Notepad"

[Kevin]

it's just triggered been trying it with all kinds of windows same result

[John]

you have to call the toolbar with mac and pass the hwnd of the window you want to own it, to it.

[Kevin]

no sir that does exactly the same thing

[John]

Function ( Function44 )

Code:

Copy      Help

int hwnd=win("Quick Macros")
mac("toolbar" hwnd)

[Kevin]

i understand exactly what u are saying but that doesn't do anything different than using a trigger

[John]

you have to call the toolbar from another macro/function you cannot use a trigger on the toolbar it self, if your wanting to hook it to another window.

[Kevin]

i have been doing it without calling it from a macro fine and it's following the window just fine only when i set flags on it does it not move with the window and even callin it from a macro it doesn't move if i make the window small

[John]

I see what your talking about now this would fall under PP right ?? ya I know just WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. hock: your going to have to figure that one out on your own man.

[Kevin]

if i just move the window yes it follows it but if i resize the window it doesn't follow it

[John]

You will have to write your own hook function something that moves your toolbar depending on the size of your window. You will have to do math and % of owner window.

[Kevin]

now here is the funny thing.if i out no info and no flags it will move with it when i resize it

[Kevin]

it's something having 2 do with the style flags

Because when using these flags the toolbar follows the top-left corner of the window. To make it follow another corner, add one of flags 0x100-0x400. Coordinates (mov) also will be relative to that corner, towards to center.

ok got ya ty can u explain a little better how this code works i am trying 2 keep the toolbar from moving
/mov {GetWinXY val(_command) 0 0 _i; ret 0.1*_i} 0

[Gintaras]

Gets width of owner window and multiplies by 0.1. The result is used with mov, and the toolbar always starts at 0.1 of owner window width.

[Kevin]

Now how can u keep the toolbar in the same position on a window that when u resize it everything on the window resizes.the toolbar itself does move when i resize but it doesn't quite stay in the same position

[Gintaras]

Replace

ret 0.1*_i

to

ret _i-10

Here 10 is toolbar distance from window right edge. Change it to what you need.

[Kevin]

ok having some trouble with this 1

/mov 3 161 /set 1|4|0x300
