WinSet: Can't add/remove styles if N is a Constant

[SAbboushi]

Code: Select all

#INCLUDE D:\Documents\AutoHotkey\Constants\Constants_Windows.ahk

;WinSet Style,  -0x00020000L, ahk_id 0x40F50 ; Works fine
;WinSet Style,  +0x00020000L, ahk_id 0x40F50 ; Works fine
;WinSet Style,  -WS_MINIMIZEBOX, ahk_id 0x40F50 ; Doesn't work
WinSet Style,  WS_MINIMIZEBOX, ahk_id 0x40F50 ; Works

Wondering whether there is a workaround or something I'm missing... or is this a feature request?

[SAbboushi]

Nobody? It seems to defeat the purpose of setting up Constants if I can't prefix them with "+" and "-"...?

the following works for me

Code: Select all

WS_MINIMIZEBOX := "0x00020000L"

a::
{
	MouseGetPos, , , hwndUnderCursor
	MsgBox, % hwndUnderCursor
return
}

x::
{
	WinSet, Style, -0x00020000L, % ("ahk_id" . hwndUnderCursor) ;works
	MsgBox, % "ErrLvl: " . ErrorLevel
return
}

c::
{
	WinSet, Style, +0x00020000L, % ("ahk_id" . hwndUnderCursor) ;works
	MsgBox, % "ErrLvl: " . ErrorLevel
return
}

v::
{
	WinSet, Style, % ("-" . WS_MINIMIZEBOX), % ("ahk_id" . hwndUnderCursor) ;works
	MsgBox, % "ErrLvl: " . ErrorLevel
return
}

b::
{
	WinSet, Style, % ("+" . WS_MINIMIZEBOX), % ("ahk_id" . hwndUnderCursor) ;works
	MsgBox, % "ErrLvl: " . ErrorLevel
return
}

z::ExitApp

- Here's some code. Cheers.

Code: Select all

q::
WS_MINIMIZEBOX := 0x20000
WinGet, hWnd, ID, A
WinSet Style,  % -WS_MINIMIZEBOX, % "ahk_id " hWnd
return

w::
WS_MINIMIZEBOX := 0x20000
WinGet, hWnd, ID, A
WinSet Style,  % "+" WS_MINIMIZEBOX, % "ahk_id " hWnd
return

;e:: ;not recommended (this removes almost all of the window styles, making the window unusable)
WS_MINIMIZEBOX := 0x20000
WinGet, hWnd, ID, A
WinSet Style, % WS_MINIMIZEBOX, % "ahk_id " hWnd
return

;r:: ;set windows to have the same style as this one
;(i.e. fix windows you messed up above)
WinGet, vWinStyle, Style, A
DetectHiddenWindows, On
WinGet, vWinList, List, ahk_class Notepad
Loop, % vWinList
{
	hWnd := vWinList%A_Index%
	WinSet, Style, % vWinStyle, % "ahk_id " hWnd
}
MsgBox, % "done"
return

- @swagfag, I would have thought that this wouldn't work: "0x00020000L", because of the 'L'.

probably need to do
-%WS_MINIMIZEBOX%

it's a variable, not a constant. just because it's in a separate file doesn't make it a constant (and ahk doesn't have them, afaik)

[SAbboushi]

Thanks folks - much appreciated!

My bad: It's a Global Variable
