GUICtrlSetStyle, $SS_SUNKEN

[MvGulik_old]

Is the $SS_SUNKEN style suppose to be changeable with GUICtrlSetStyle for label items.?

(GUICtrlCreateLabel, GUICtrlCreatePic, GUICtrlCreateIcon)

When I run the following code, using GUICtrlSetStyle with $SS_SUNKEN is having no effect. (top 2 are border less, bottom 2 are with border)

AutoIt v3.1.1.0

Thanks.

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Create: SS_SUNKEN OFF,"&@LF&"SetStyle: SS_SUNKEN ON", 10, 60, 200, 40)
GUICtrlSetStyle(-1, $SS_SUNKEN)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Create: SS_SUNKEN ON", 10, 110, 200, 40, $SS_SUNKEN)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Create: SS_SUNKEN ON,"&@LF&"SetStyle: SS_SUNKEN OFF", 10, 160, 200, 40, $SS_SUNKEN)
GUICtrlSetStyle(-1, 0)

Might want to check the bug reports, and if you can't find anything on it, report

the GUICtrlSetStyle is returning a 1, which means it was successful.

Did not found anything in the bug forum's.

@error [GUICtrlSetStyle:2] = 0

$RETURN [GUICtrlSetStyle:2] = 1

@error [GUICtrlSetStyle:4] = 0

$RETURN [GUICtrlSetStyle:4] = 1

ps: I'll leave bug reporting to others that are more comfortable with it.

I will have a look to explain what happening

[jpm]

in fact when you create with SS_SUNKEN Windows is adding with the SS_SUNKEN style the extended style WS_EX_STATICEDGE.

So I cannot do all what Windows is doing without having specify it.

You need a WinSpy to debug such pb. I will ask JON to add the (ex)styles in the AutoIt info tools.

Thanks for your comprehension.

[MvGulik_old]

No problem.

Thanks for looking into it.

In the mean-time you can use Winspector (link to download site below in my Signature) to aid debugging. It has Style and Exstyle viewing and editing capabilities built in. I love it!!!

If you have use the search on the autoit forums with "winspy" you could have found a post like this

Thanks Jpm, I like the layout of that one better(less cluttered!)
