GUICtrlCreateGroup color question

[Herb191]

Why is “Amortization Table” not showing up as white?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>

$Form1_1 = GUICreate("Amortization Plus", 644, 303, 207, 200)
GUISetBkColor(0x000080)
$Group1 = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Amortization Table", 8, 0, 625, 81, BitOR($BS_CENTER, $BS_FLAT))
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 400, 0, "System")

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Read helpfile !

GUICtrlSetColor :

Remarks

Only Button, Label, Checkbox, Group, Radio, Edit, Input, List, Listview, ListviewItem, Treeview, TreeviewItem, Graphic, Progress and Combo controls can currently be colored.

Checkbox, Radio, Group or Progress controls cannot be painted if the "Windows XP/Vista style" is used.

Button controls are always painted in "Windows Classic style".

between us, I did not know either !

You can make only the group-control run without any theme by doing like so:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>

$Form1_1 = GUICreate("Amortization Plus", 644, 303, 207, 200)
GUISetBkColor(0x000080)
$Group1 = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Amortization Table", 8, 0, 625, 81, BitOR($BS_CENTER, $BS_FLAT))
DllCall("UxTheme.dll", "int", "SetWindowTheme", "hwnd", GUICtrlGetHandle($Group1), "wstr", 0, "wstr", 0)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 400, 0, "System")

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

(this of course also works on Checkbox, Radio and Progress)

Or disable it for the whole gui like so:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>

DllCall("uxtheme.dll", "none", "SetThemeAppProperties", "int", 0)

$Form1_1 = GUICreate("Amortization Plus", 644, 303, 207, 200)
GUISetBkColor(0x000080)
$Group1 = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Amortization Table", 8, 0, 625, 81, BitOR($BS_CENTER, $BS_FLAT))
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 400, 0, "System")

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd
