Joe, Fred, Dale, all - Sorry for jumping in, but I saw your thread about resizing the AB window for output to PNG for possible inclusion on a page or in a doc. Significant image scaling in an image program or browser introduces artifacts. Sounds like what you want to do is control the export image size. For script programmers, there is a utility that allows window resizing (and much more) called AutoIt. I'll show a quick AB example.
AutoIt is a scripting language, but many functions are implemented in an ActiveX DLL that is callable from script outside or inside of AB. First you install the package, or just the component, AutoItX3.dll via REGSVR32. You can get it at - http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/ Then, here's an example AFL script that resizes the main AB window. There is an issue, though. First, the image size is obviously less than the window size. For example, in a 800x600 window with left hidden workspace, toolbar at top and right, and a status bar at the bottom - the PNG image size is 743x505. It would desirable to be able to be able to control this directly. One can come close with AutoIt, though. Anyway, here's the AFL/Script code that uses the AutoItX3 DLL - EnableScript("vbscript"); <% Set oAB = CreateObject( "Broker.Application" ) Set oAutoIt = CreateObject( "AutoItX3.Control" ) ABTitle = "AmiBroker" xpos = oAutoIt.WinGetPosX( ABTitle ) ypos = oAutoIt.WinGetPosY( ABTitle ) width = oAutoIt.WinGetPosWidth( ABTitle ) Height = oAutoIt.WinGetPosHeight( ABTitle ) newwidth = 800 newheight = 600 oAutoIt.WinMove "AmiBroker", "", xpos, ypos, newwidth, newheight oAB.RefreshAll() %> Buy = Sell = Short = Cover = 0; ------------------------ Yahoo!
