Function Reference

GUICtrlCreateGraphic

Creates a Graphic control for the GUI.

GUICtrlCreateGraphic ( left, top [, width [, height [, style]]] )

Parameters

left	The left side of the control. If -1 is used then left will be computed according to GUICoordMode.
top	The top of the control. If -1 is used then top will be computed according to GUICoordMode.
width	[optional] The width of the control (default is the previously used width).
height	[optional] The height of the control (default is the previously used height).
style	[optional] Defines the style of the control. See GUI Control Styles Appendix. default ( -1) : $SS_NOTIFY.

Return Value

Success:	Returns the identifier (controlID) of the new control.
Failure:	Returns 0.

Remarks

To draw in the control see GUICtrlSetGraphic.

The border and background color can be set with GUICtrlSetBkColor and GUICtrlSetColor.

Graphic control can be clicked so they should not overlap with other controls. If overlap is needed it is important to disable the graphic control : GuiCtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE).

This control cannot be resized due to fix graphic relative addressing creation but can be dock with GUICtrlSetResizing().

Example

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Global $MAXGr = 6, $del
Global $a[$MAXGr + 1] ; 0 and $MAXGr entries not used to allow GUICtrlDelete result
