Button on top of label question

[oldtimer]

I have created a simple GUI form. On the form, I want a button setting on top of a label. (for appearance, with colored background). I find that if I create the label first, then the button, the button shows up but won't "press". If I create the button first, then the label, the label is hidden. I tried setting the TOPMOST style but couldn't make that work.

Is there a "simple" way to create the button on top of the label and still have it function properly?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi and Welcome to the forums!!

Try disabling the label so it don't get the clicks instead of the button

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

GUICreate(@ScriptName, 320, 240)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 0, 0, 320, 240)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFFC0CB)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)
$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Press me", 50, 50, 75, 25)
GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $hButton
            MsgBox(0, "Button pressed!", "Button pressed!")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

That was it! I guess I should have figured that out for myself but couldn't.

Thank you very much.

For Buttons, you might want to take a look at ButtonHover()

Then, color the background with Skins....

Enjoy!!
