i was just wondering, how, if its possible, to change the width of a Msg Plus Window that i created, i have a var assigned to it, it is 'tehwin' but the way i want to change the size of it is by using a button, or command.
Thanks In Advance

Here you go! For more options, check out the SetWindowPos MSDN page.

code:

---

function SetWindowSize(PlusWnd, Width, Height) {
   var HWND_TOP = 0;
   var SWP_NOMOVE = 0x2;
   var SWP_NOZORDER = 0x4;
   Interop.Call("user32", "SetWindowPos", PlusWnd.Handle, HWND_TOP, 0, 0, Width, Height, SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOZORDER);
}

//Usage
SetWindowSize(tehwin, 500, 400);

---

thanks

code:

---

        if (PlusWnd.Height > 63){
            SetWindowSize(tehwin, 533, 310);
        }else{
            SetWindowSize(tehwin, 533, 62.5);
        }

What do you mean "won't change back to the bigger"? Are you clicking the same button twice, or are you manually resizing the window before calling the function?

I'll guess that you need to change "if (PlusWnd.Height > 63)" to "if (PlusWnd.Height < 63)" (less than).  Can't be sure this would be your issue but it's the only thing making sense to me immediately.

i think you can use Interop for this; you can try using a variable (boolean) instead.

i think "PlusWnd.Height" only returns the height that's in the XML.

OK, my mistake.  As I said, I know nothing of windows.
It's not that  you're stating (PlusWnd.Height > 63).  PlusWnd is only really the identifier used in the MPLScripting docs, so shouldn't it be (tehwin.Height > 63). 
That would explain why it always calls the else - if no window by name of PlusWnd exists, then none can be >/</= to anything, so it will always be the else clause.

Err, I think the most important problem here is that Pluswnd.Height is not a valid property...

The only valid properties for a PlusWnd Object are
PlusWnd.Handle
PlusWnd.Visible
PlusWnd.WindowId

ok, then how would i get the height of the window?? lol

I imagine you would have to use something like (thanks to dt):

code:

---

var theRECT = Interop.Allocate(16); //long = 4 so size = 4 * 4//

Interop.Call("user32", "GetWindowRect", PlusWnd.Handle, theRECT);

    var left = theRECT.ReadDWORD(0); //left
    var top = theRECT.ReadDWORD(4); //Top
    var right = theRECT.ReadDWORD(8 ); //Right
    var bottom = theRECT.ReadDWORD(12); //Bottom

var WndWidth = right - left;

ok, thnx
