Background color of GUI IP Address Control

[UEZ]

Hi,

how can I change the background color of GUI IP Address Control (field)?

;example from help file
#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiIPAddress.au3>

Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1)

$Debug_IP = False ; Check ClassName being passed to IPAddress functions, set to True and use a handle to another control to see it work

_Main()

Func _Main()
    Local $hgui, $hIPAddress

    $hgui = GUICreate("IP Address Control Get (String) Example", 400, 300)
    $hIPAddress = _GUICtrlIpAddress_Create($hgui, 10, 10)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    _GUICtrlIpAddress_Set ($hIPAddress, "24.168.2.128")

    GUICtrlSetBkColor($hIPAddress, 0x00A000)

    ; Wait for user to close GUI
    Do
    Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
EndFunc ;==>_Main

GUICtrlSetBkColor($hIPAddress, 0x00A000) is not working!

Any idea?

Thanks,

UEZ

Seems to be resilient.

And not to this:

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiIPAddress.au3>

Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1)

Global $hGUI = GUICreate("IP Address", 400, 300)
Global $hIPAddress = _GUICtrlIpAddress_Create($hGUI, 10, 100, 380, 50)
_GUICtrlIpAddress_SetFont($hIPAddress, "Arial", 22, 800, True)
ConsoleWrite("! Parent " & $hIPAddress & @CRLF)
__EnumChild($hIPAddress)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE



Func __EnumChild($hWnd, $lParam = 0)
    Local $hFunc = DllCallbackRegister("__EnumChildProc", "bool", "hwnd;lparam")
    DllCall("user32.dll", "bool", "EnumChildWindows", "hwnd", $hWnd, "ptr", DllCallbackGetPtr($hFunc), "lparam", $lParam)
    DllCallbackFree($hFunc)
EndFunc   ;==>__EnumChild

Func __EnumChildProc($hWnd, $lParam)
    ConsoleWrite("         child  " & $hWnd & @CRLF)
    WinSetTitle($hWnd, 0, "bzzz")
    ;_WinAPI_SetBkColor...
    ;_SendMessage...
    Return 1
EndFunc   ;==>__EnumChildProc

Interesting.

Hi,

GUICtrlSetBkColor($hIPAddress, 0x00A000) is not working!

GUICtrlSetxxx() functions work only with native Autoit's controls created by GUICtrlCreatexxx()

not for UDF's controls like IPAddress created by _GUICtrlxxx() functions with underscore at start.

You mixed native/UDF functions in a wrong way here.

Found a way to change the background color but when you start typing it or set the IP it will erase part of the background again!

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiIPAddress.au3>

Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1)

$Debug_IP = False ; Check ClassName being passed to IPAddress functions, set to True and use a handle to another control to see it work

_Main()

Func _Main()
    Local $hgui, $hIPAddress

    $hgui = GUICreate("IP Address Control Get (String) Example", 400, 300)
    $hIPAddress = _GUICtrlIpAddress_Create($hgui, 10, 10)

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    Local $tRECT = DllStructCreate($tagRect)
    DllStructSetData($tRECT, "Left", 0)
    DllStructSetData($tRECT, "Top", 0)
    DllStructSetData($tRECT, "Right", 121)
    DllStructSetData($tRECT, "Bottom", 21)

    Local $hBrush = _WinAPI_CreateSolidBrush(0x0000FF) ;BGR
    Local $hDC = _WinAPI_GetDC($hIPAddress)
    _WinAPI_FillRect($hDC, DllStructGetPtr($tRect), $hBrush)
    
    _GUICtrlIpAddress_Set ($hIPAddress, "24.168.2.128")
    
    ; Wait for user to close GUI
    Do
    Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    $tRECT = ""
    _WinAPI_ReleaseDC(0, $hDC)
    _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hBrush)
    GUIDelete($hgui)
    Exit
EndFunc ;==>_Main

Now I'm looking for a way to change the background color of text...

Look at Callback UDF. There is example for subclassing of edit control to change background color.

Now Callback is part of standard Autoit.

To be honest, I never worked with callbacks and currently I'm trying to understand the code made by trancexx in 2nd post!
