Button selection is whack

[JDT]

Bare with me for I am new to this and learning as I go. I am writing a script that implements a GUI. The problem is when you try to click on a button or checkbox point blank or just a little off, it will not select it. You kind of have to click around the corners of the button to get it to select. I am not sure if it has to do with my entire window including the buttons or each one as an individual.

Here is the GUI code:

$hGUI = GUICreate($GUITitle, 250, 150)
GUISetState()
$label = GUICtrlCreateLabel($instruct, 25, 20, 200, 100)
$onCampButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("On Campus", 20, 100, 100, 30)
$offCampButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Off Campus", 130,100,100, 30)
$radioGoTo1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Go to homework directory.", 20, 60,200, 20)

That is always a sighn of GUICtrl positioning. Also don't use GUISetState() until after the controls are created. This script uses your control positioning. Run it and you will see what the problem is.

$hGUI = GUICreate("", 250, 150)

$label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Test Label", 25, 20, 200, 100)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xff0000)
$onCampButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("On Campus", 20, 100, 100, 30)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xff00ff)
$offCampButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Off Campus", 130,100,100, 30)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x00FF00)
$radioGoTo1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Go to homework directory.", 20, 60,200, 20)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x0000FF)
GUISetState()

While 1
    If GUIGetMsg() = -3 Then Exit
WEnd

Ok, thanks I appreciate it. I will most certainly use that test method in the future.

That's the best way to check control positioning.
