This function gets the size of a GUI element.

Syntax

float float guiGetSize ( element theElement, bool relative )

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Method: GuiElement:getSize(...)
Counterpart: guiSetSize


Required Arguments

  • theElement: The GUI element to get size of.
  • relative: A boolean representing whether the size should be relative to the element's parent width, or an absolute size in pixels.

Returns

Returns the GUI element size x and y if the function has been successful, false otherwise.

Example

This example creates a random sized gui window and outputs its size to the chatbox. 

local window = guiCreateWindow ( 0, 0, (math.random ( 0, 100 ) / 100), (math.random ( 0, 100 ) / 100), "test", true ) 
-- Create the window
local x, y = guiGetSize ( window, false ) -- Get the gui window size
outputChatBox ( "Window size: " .. x .. " " .. y ) --output the gui window size
