getcontrolheight
int getcontrolheight(int ID);
Returns the height of a control
The GETCONTROLHEIGHT statement returns the height of a control in pixels. This statement applies to the most logical form of a control. For example, when applied to a button it simply returns the height, however when applied to a combobox it returns the height of the non-dropdown state.
Parameters
ID
The ID of the control to resize
Return Value
The height in pixels, or -1 if an invalid control ID was provided
Example Code
function Init()
{
// Create a 50*20 button
int ExplorerButtonID = createbutton(1, 10, 10, 50, 20);
// Height will be set to 20
int Height = getcontrolheight(ExplorerButtonID);
}
