GUICreateCombo With background not working.

[1nsan1ty]

Hey all,

Not sure if it's a bug or the code, but if you have a GUI with a background jpg the GUICreatecombo will not dropdown even if you use the styles. but, if you remove the background picture the combo box works as it should.

Example which works:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $msg
    GUICreate("My GUI combo",220,50)  ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
;GUICtrlCreatePic("school.jpg", 0, 0, 300,50)
    GUICtrlCreateCombo("item1", 10, 10,200) ; create first item
    GUICtrlSetData(-1, "item2|item3", "item3") ; add other item snd set a new default

    GUISetState()

    ; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()

        If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>Example

Then with a background (combobox does not work):

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $msg
    GUICreate("My GUI combo",220,50)  ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
    GUICtrlCreatePic("school.jpg", 0, 0, 300,50)
    GUICtrlCreateCombo("item1", 10, 10,200) ; create first item
    GUICtrlSetData(-1, "item2|item3", "item3") ; add other item snd set a new default

    GUISetState()

    ; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()

        If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>Example

And what does the helpfile say in the "Remarks"-section under GUICtrlCreatePic?

If a picture is set as a background picture, as the other controls will overlap, it's important to disable the pic control and create it after the others controls: GuiCtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE). This is not enough for Tab or Listview control which behave differently. In this case you need to create the picture with the $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS style, GuiCtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_ONTOP) is necessary for the Tab, TreeView or Listview control.

Thanks. I was looking at the website, not the helpfile

I don't know what you're talking about. Both ways. Edited January 18, 2010 by AdmiralAlkex
