Button icon problem

[JRowe]

I have a button, which on loading appears perfectly fine.

After clicking on the Play button, nothing changes, so it's not a universal GUI event. After clicking the Stop button, however, the button frame appears, and won't go away. The search terms turn up a million unrelated things, so I thought I'd ask. Anyone know what causes this problem?

$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 152, 69, 32, 32, BitOR($BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON,$BS_PUSHBOX,$BS_FLAT,$BS_ICON,$WS_GROUP))
GUICtrlSetImage(-1, "buttons.dll", -8)
GUICtrlSetTip(-1, "Start")
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 272, 69, 75, 33, BitOR($BS_PUSHBOX,$BS_FLAT,$BS_ICON,$WS_GROUP))
GUICtrlSetImage(-1, "buttons.dll", -12)
GUICtrlSetTip(-1, "Stop")

$Button2 is displaying the undesired behavior. I simply want the icon as a button without the frame.

Use GUICtrlCreatePic() instead of Button.

[JRowe]

I know that I can create a picture that acts like a button. I'm asking how to make the button work correctly.

[Yashied]

Nohow for brute-force styles.

[JRowe]

I'm not gonna buy that buttons don't work. Some sort of style message can be sent.

_GUICtrlButton_SetStyle($Button1, BitOR($BS_ICON,$BS_PUSHBOX, $BS_FLAT, $WS_GROUP))

Like that, or some other method.

#Include <GuiButton.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>

GUICreate("Test GUI", 200, 200)  ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test Button", 50, 50, 32, 32, BitOR($BS_ICON,$BS_PUSHBOX, $BS_FLAT, $WS_GROUP))
GUICtrlSetImage(-1, "shell32.dll", -12)
GUISetState()
_GUICtrlButton_SetState($Button1, False)
While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()

        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            GUIDelete();
            Exit

            Case $Button1
            _GUICtrlButton_SetStyle($Button1, BitOR($BS_ICON,$BS_PUSHBOX, $BS_FLAT, $WS_GROUP))
            _GUICtrlButton_SetState($Button1, False)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Alright, along with the no-dotted focus lines UDF, I was able to do this:

#Include <GuiButton.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
;#include <noFocus.au3>
;_NoFocusLines_Global()
GUICreate("Test GUI", 200, 200)  ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 50, 50, 32, 32, bitor($BS_ICON, $BS_PUSHBOX))
GUICtrlSetImage(-1, "shell32.dll", -12)
GUISetState()


While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()

        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            GUIDelete();
            ;DllCallBackFree($hNoFocusLines_Proc)
            Exit

            Case $Button1
            _GUICtrlButton_SetStyle($Button1, BitOR($BS_ICON,$BS_PUSHBOX))
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Uncomment if you have the noFocus udf, otherwise, imagine it without the dotted focus lines.

Thank you, though,Yashied.

Heh, I said at the beginning that GUICtrlCreatePic() much easier.
