DllCall SetSysColors


Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone ;)

I would like to start off by saying I really am bad with dll calling :evil:

So I found this great script it changes controls in a GUI to the windows classic theme allowing you to paint controls that the XP theme doesn't allow.

Func XPStyle($OnOff = 1)
    If $OnOff And StringInStr(@OSTYPE, "WIN32_NT") Then
        $XS_n = DllCall("uxtheme.dll", "int", "GetThemeAppProperties")
        DllCall("uxtheme.dll", "none", "SetThemeAppProperties", "int", 0)
        Return 1
    ElseIf StringInStr(@OSTYPE, "WIN32_NT") And IsArray($XS_n) Then
        DllCall("uxtheme.dll", "none", "SetThemeAppProperties", "int", $XS_n[0])
        $XS_n = ""
        Return 1
    EndIf
    Return 0
EndFunc   ;==>XPStyle

It works great but what I am looking for is to change the title bar of a GUI a long with scroll bars and and everything else and I know it can be done and I think it can be done with this call SetSysColors.

If someone can please show me how to change the title bars color I think ill be set.

I found some very good info but don't know how to use it.

In the standard UDFs there is a function called _WinAPI_SetSysColors().

I honestly don't know how that one got by me but isn't there a way to set it for only one window that being the GUI it's self.

Thanks very much for helping that quickly and have a happy holidays ;)

Looking at the function and the msdn link you provided above I dont see a hwnd, so I guess it just can be set systemwide. For sure it can be done per window, but that requires more something like a custom wm_paint or a custom window class... to complicated I even start to search for examples ;)... maybe just do it as done in the example in the UDF, apply your settings => GuiSetState() => re-apply old standard values.

Edit: Merry Christmas (or happy holidays) to you too!

[Edit]

I am just adding this as a tip to remind me for later.

To change title bar color you must not use windows xp theme must be classic to change title bars color.

#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

_Test()

Func _Test()
    $Test = $COLOR_ACTIVECAPTION
    _XP_Style(1)
    GUICreate("My GUI", 300, 200)
    _XP_Style(0)
    $Save = _WinAPI_GetSysColor($Test)
    _WinAPI_SetSysColors($Test , 255)

    GUISetState()

    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
        EndSwitch
    WEnd

    GUIDelete()

    _WinAPI_SetSysColors($Test, $Save)

    Exit
EndFunc

Func _XP_Style($OnOff = 1)
    $XS_n = ""
    If $OnOff And StringInStr(@OSTYPE, "WIN32_NT") Then
        $XS_n = DllCall("uxtheme.dll", "int", "GetThemeAppProperties")
        DllCall("uxtheme.dll", "none", "SetThemeAppProperties", "int", 0)
        Return 1
    ElseIf StringInStr(@OSTYPE, "WIN32_NT") And IsArray($XS_n) Then
        DllCall("uxtheme.dll", "none", "SetThemeAppProperties", "int", $XS_n[0])
        $XS_n = ""
        Return 1
    EndIf
    Return 0
EndFunc
