Problem with clicking a button

[packrat]

The dialog box below has a button which the user can click to close the dialog box or where the user can press the ENTER key as a substitute for the mouseclick. Pressing ENTER works fine, but I can't seem to get the button to react to a mouseclick. I've got to be overlooking something obvious, but I just can't seem to see it. Can anyone help?

CODE

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#include <StaticConstants.au3>

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>

#include <Date.au3>

#include <File.au3>

;------------------------------------------------------------

Func ShowStopDialog( $txt1, $txt2 )

Local $WinHandle2

Local $OkButton

Local $msg

;

$WinHandle2 = GUICreate( "" , 665, 115, 75, 200, BitOR($WS_POPUP, $WS_BORDER) )

GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFCC)

;

GUICtrlCreateLabel( $txt1, 5, 10, 650, 45, $SS_CENTER )

GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 30, 800, 0, "Arial" )

GUICtrlSetColor(-1,0xFF1C3C)

GUICtrlCreateLabel( $txt2, 15, 70, 650, 36, $SS_CENTER )

GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 18, 800, 0, "Arial" )

GUICtrlSetColor(-1,0x0000FF)

;

$OkButton = GUICtrlCreateButton ("OK", 580, 85, 75, 22, $BS_FLAT )

GUICtrlSetState( $OkButton, $GUI_ENABLE )

GUICtrlSetFont( -1, 8, 1200, 0, "Arial")

GUICtrlSetBkColor( -1, 0xFFFFAA )

;

GUICtrlSetState( $OkButton, $GUI_FOCUS )

GUICtrlSetState( $OkButton, $GUI_DEFBUTTON )

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$WinHandle2)

;

WinSetOnTop("[ACTIVE]", "", 1)

;

$msg = 0

While True

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $OkButton

ExitLoop

EndSelect

Wend

GUIDelete($WinHandle2)

EndFunc

;------------------------------------------------------------

$txt = "BARCODE PROBLEM"

ShowStopDialog( $txt, "P U T A S I D E" )

Thanks in advance!

packrat,

Your labels are too big and the button is overlapping them. AutoIt does not accept 2 active controls in the same space - I assume it looks for mouse click coordinates and then cannot decide which control has been activated.

I suggest either disabling the labels (but that makes the text go grey) or making them smaller so the button is in "clear" space. Hint - use GUICtrlSetBkColor to colour the labels and so clearly see their extent.

Boy, you'd think I'd learn from my mistakes! This happened once before, and someone here noted the same solution: shorten the label so it doesn't overlap. Thanks for your helpful response, and maybe this time it'll stick in my mind!
