Color a Button

[twbradio]

Is there a way to set the background color of a button?

[layer]

I don't think there is a way, at the moment.

that sooo has to be an april fools joke, show us the code then !

[twbradio]

Assuming this isn't an april fools joke, yep - like that.

Currently i am using labels in place of the buttons - they act like a button in onevent mode, but the gui isn't as nice.

you mean like this?

hehee ya i cheated

#include <guiconstants.au3>
GUICreate ( "", 100, 75 )
GUICtrlCreateButton ( "", 0, 0, 100, 25 )
GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "", 1, 1, 97, 22 )
GUICtrlSetBkColor ( -1, 0xff0000 )
GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "Red Button", 1, 5, 97, 17, $SS_CENTER )
GUICtrlCreateButton ( "", 0, 25, 100, 25 )
GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "", 1, 26, 97, 22 )
GUICtrlSetBkColor ( -1, 0x0000ff )
GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "Blue Button", 1, 31, 97, 17, $SS_CENTER )
GUICtrlCreateButton ( "", 0, 50, 100, 25 )
GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "", 1, 51, 97, 22 )
GUICtrlSetBkColor ( -1, 0x00ff00 )
GUICtrlCreateLabel ( "Green Button", 1, 56, 97, 17, $SS_CENTER )
GUISetState ( )
Sleep ( 2000 )

Well that's usefull... Hehe, right when I put my mouse over it, they change, so, I guess it's not possible to do it...

[zcoacoaz]

yeah, i wish we could change the color and stuff. I guess for now we just have to do GuiCtrlCreateGraphic and GUIGetCursorInfo

Found this yesterday......QHTM

the dll has functions that allow buttons and tooltips to display html

whether it works via dll call.....dunno. (haven't figured out dll calls yet...)

Anyone here that knows dll calls can try it out and see if it works

What are the limits of the DLL you found? the DLL i use for displaying HTML is cwebpage.dll

[quaizywabbit]

Found this yesterday......QHTM

QHTM is the link to the site, the online docs are there also....

there are quite a few working C++ examples( Animated windows in 4 styles, Multi-threading template, etc...) that the developers might want to have a look at

That QHTM is very powerful and advanced. Much better than that cwebpage DLL.

[quaizywabbit]

That guy has his sh@t together....wish he was an AutoIt dev...

Get any of it to work with AutoIT?

[SlimShady]

Not yet. I gotta go. I'll try later...

Edit:

This is hard. I believe this can only work in a C++ project.

Especially when a user clicks a QHTM link. When that happens, the DLL sends a message to the GUI to tell which link it was.

We can only intercept that message if the needed modifications in the AutoIt source are done.

Conclusion:

Not easy without C++ experience.

[quaizywabbit]

how about the 'html' button??

[SlimShady]

I have read the documentation. Maybe you should too.

I have looked once and I don't see how we could make this work.

It's late here, I'll check tomorrow again.

//  Call this to initialise the QHTM.
    BOOL WINAPI QHTM_Initialize( HINSTANCE hInst );

    //
    //  Call this to shutdown QHTM.
    BOOL WINAPI QHTM_Uninitialize();

    //  Enable CoolTips in an application that currently uses the WIN32 Tool Tip control.
    BOOL WINAPI QHTM_EnableCooltips();

    //  Enable HTML to be rendered onto a button
    BOOL WINAPI QHTM_SetHTMLButton( HWND hwndButton );

This is from the C++ header...don't know how to translate into AutoIt dll call.....

[zcoacoaz]

this should do it but im not sure about the initialize function

DllCall ( "qhtm.dll", "Initialize", "int", hInst )

DllCall ( "qhtm.dll", "Uninitialize" )

DllCall ( "qhtm.dll", "EnableCooltips" )

DllCall ( "qhtm.dll", "SetHTMLButton", "hwnd", hwndButton )

[quaizywabbit]

DllCall ( "qhtm.dll", "Initialize", "int", hInst )

DllCall ( "qhtm.dll", "Uninitialize" )

DllCall ( "qhtm.dll", "EnableCooltips" )

DllCall ( "qhtm.dll", "SetHTMLButton", "hwnd", hwndButton )

so the 'return type' gets skipped altogether?
