Gridy 0.72
Snap Windows to Grid
by Danny Ben Shitrit (Sector-Seven) 2006-2024

======================================================================
Introduction
-----------------------------
Gridy adds an invisible grid to Windows, so that any window you move
or resize is snapped to it.
Snapping is enabled with mouse drag or keyboard arrow keys.
Gridy also lets you store and restore a window's size and position
in up to 12 slots. This is useful for quickly arranging your windows
in a convenient way.
In addition, you can apply these changes to any window or dialog:
- Make any window semi-transparent
- Hide the window's Alt-Tab icon
- Set any window to be Always on Top
- Resize any window to a predefined size of your choice
- Minimize all windows but the active one
Getting Started
-----------------------------
After starting Gridy, right click its icon in the system tray to
access some configuration options.
You may also double click the system tray to see the Help screen
with all of the available actions.
For example, while a restored window (not maximized) is in focus,
press and hold the Win key and press the arrow keys to move the
window in fixed intervals.
The same snapping effect can also be achieved by simply moving or
resizing the window.
Technical Notes
-----------------------------
Gridy is built as a single executable + a configuration file.
The configuration file is a simple INI file that can be edited
either manually or by using the system tray menu.
Gridy does not write anything to the registry and is completely
portable.

Changed: new Help dialog
2006 08 11 - 0.22
Added : menu items to change some INI settings
2006 08 09 - 0.21
Fixed : when starting to move another window, shadow first showed
itself for a quick second, with the size of the previously
snapped window. Fixed by first placing the shadow at the right
place and only then "untransparenting" it
2006 08 09 - 0.20
Changed: improved performance when shadow is enabled. now when the
frame is created, it is never "hidden", instead, it is being
resized to a 1x1 pixel on the top left of the screen, and then
set to full transparency. in order to accomplish this, the
alt-tab icon of the frame was removed using ExStyle 0x80.
in addition, some seemingly ineffective lines were removed from
the ShowFrame and HideFrame routines. Another, more minor
change was done in the main WatchCursor timer.
Fixed : shadowtype Shadow is now also transparent. This was fixed by
accident, probably to a better use of the transparency settings
and the fact that we do not hide and show the window all the
time
2006 08 08 - 0.19
Fixed : version 0.18 broke the Solid frametype action - solid shadow
got stuck. This was fixed by changing the way by which we
check if we have a menu, by simply checking if the window we
attempt to "shadow" still exists. Menus, do not exist after
they are clicked.
Changed: startup and exit tooltips are now shorter
Added : first attempt to reduce timer performance - added SetBatchLines
2006 08 08 - 0.18
Fixed : shadow frame and tooltip were created when clicking menus.
fixed by checking if the window id has changed since we first
clicked the mouse.
2006 08 07 - 0.17
Fixed : shadow frame now does not have a task bar icon. fixed with
+OWNER attribute
Added : abother shadow type - Shadow. This style currently does not
support transparency for some reason. Need to check if this
is by design, or by bug.
2006 08 07 - 0.16
Added : shadow border when moving/resizing windows. configurable
through INI.
2006 08 06 - 0.15
Fixed : non resizable windows used to be moved to grid when certain
controls were selected. this was fixed by capturing the control
under the mouse upon click, and if there is any control, we do
not move.
Added : exit traytip
2006 08 06 - 0.14
Fixed : changed the execution order of the main routine. It should fix
the bugs where non resizable windows are resized, and the bug
where windows used to move with only a mouse-over.
2006 08 06 - 0.13
Fixed : when a window first loaded, it used to snap even without the
user moving it. had a missing Return in startup routine.
Fixed : now ignoring maximized windows, or windows that are just being
maximized.
2006 08 05 - 0.12
Added : new key in INI - DisableKey. pressing this key when dragging
will move the window freely, without any snapping.
2006 08 05 - 0.11
Fixed : (hopefully) now ignoring non-resizable windows
Added : key in INI file to set the non-resizable window handling
2006 08 05 - 0.10
