Smart Dialog

[detroit123]

OK, I'm trying to make a dialog that will be able to show the active windows "Window Text", I made a seperate macro that gets window text, "If that is necessary", and now I just want it to put that window text into a blank space in the dialog.. Any idea on how to do this? I haven't made the dialog yet so I have no code for reference, but if you have any idea please let me know. Thanks.

ok maybe if i post my code it will help...

Code:

Copy      Help

act _s
str a
_s.getwintext(win("Internet Explorer"))
a.get(_s 0 12)
out a

a.get(_s 0 12)
out a
mes("%s" "Title of window goes here" "" a)

would i insert this into the dialog just like that?

[ken gray]

depends on the dialog.
it's easier to show you if you already have a dialog.

str cb3
cb3="www.quickmacros.com[]www.google.com[]www.yahoo.com"
if(!ShowDialog("Websites" &Websites &controls)) ret

then Function/Dialog "Websites"

Code:

Copy      Help

;\Dialog_Editor
function# hDlg message wParam lParam
if(hDlg) goto messages

;BEGIN DIALOG
;0 "" 0x90C80A44 0x100 0 0 197 107 "Form"
;1 Button 0x54030001 0x4 30 76 48 14 "OK"
;2 Button 0x54030000 0x4 108 76 48 14 "Cancel"
;3 ComboBox 0x54230243 0x0 16 22 96 213 ""
;6 Static 0x54000000 0x0 126 18 56 30 "Put Current Window Open Here"
;5 Button 0x54020007 0x0 120 2 70 54 ""
;4 Button 0x54020007 0x0 8 2 108 54 "Websites"
;END DIALOG
;DIALOG EDITOR: "" 0x2020005 "" ""

ret
;messages
if(message=WM_INITDIALOG) DT_Init(hDlg lParam)
;int param=DT_GetParam(hDlg)

sel message

To insert such code can be used "Text" or "Window" dialog from the floating toolbar.

[detroit123]

could you maybe show me an example using the dialog ive shown... when i use those options in the floating toolbar i never can get it to work in the dialog ive already made.

Code:

Copy      Help

_s=""; _s.setwintext(id(6 win("Form" "#32770")))

To insert this code, I used Window dialog, selected Set Text, captured the control in the dialog using the second "Drag" image, OK. Also needs editing:

Code:

Copy      Help

_s.getwintext(win)
_s.setwintext(id(6 win("Form" "#32770")))

[detroit123]

ok thanks... what type of box should i use to set the window text in, inside the dialog?

[Gintaras]

Static is OK. Or Edit.

How do i get the dialog's tray icon to stay in the taskbar... I put AddTrayIcon... Is there something else i need to do... The tray icon shows up down there but then it will disappear when i hit the X in the top right corner... is it possible to make it so that when i hit the X it will still stay in the taskbar?

Dialog Help again please.
