Mmm. Don't see any reason for using $GUI_ONTOP on radio-controls, and think is a questionable use. But ok.

~~Bug(?): The first radio-control seems to not be effected by a applied $GUI_ONTOP state.~~

~~- $GUI_ONTOP will lift radio from current location/group to Topmost location -> other (last it seems) group.~~

Tip: use 4 radio's per group. Makes it easier to see the action relation's.

---

~~Applied: Might not get applied of course.~~

Playlet, disable the picture (put GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE) after you have created). Also, I don't see any reason for using $GUI_ONTOP.

Take a look at Yashied's This might give you some ideas.

Maybe this could be a solution:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

GUICreate("Form", 300, 400)

$hGroup = GUICtrlCreateGroup("Group1", 10, 10, 280, 380)
GUIStartGroup()
GUICtrlCreateRadio("Radio1", 30, 70, 113, 17)
GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_CHECKED)
GUICtrlCreateRadio("Radio2", 30, 90, 113, 17)
GUICtrlCreateRadio("Radio3", 30, 110, 113, 17)

GUIStartGroup()
GUICtrlCreateRadio("RadioA", 30, 150, 113, 17)
GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_CHECKED)
GUICtrlCreateRadio("RadioB", 30, 170, 113, 17)
GUICtrlCreateRadio("RadioC", 30, 190, 113, 17)
GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
 Sleep(10)
 Switch GUIGetMsg()
  Case -3
   Exit
 EndSwitch
WEnd

I replaced radios with checkboxes and everything seems to work fine.
Thanks for all your help!!

There is an issue with using GUIStartGroup() on radios set to top of the Z order,

but i'm not so sure it's a bug.

I'm working on something that uses WS_EX_COMPOSITED to prevent resize flicker

and the controls are on top of an image.

Because of the bottom up Z order double buffering of that style, the controls need to be on top

for the same reason as is suggested in the remarks for GUICtrlCreatePic regarding the Tab, TreeView and Listview.

GuiCtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_ONTOP) is the same as this:

_WinAPI_SetWindowPos(GUICtrlGetHandle(-1), $HWND_TOP, 0, 0, 0, 0, BitOR($SWP_NOSIZE, $SWP_NOMOVE))

The radios won't work properly with this line either.

This will put the radios above the pic and they will function correctly with GUIStartGroup()

_WinAPI_SetWindowPos(GUICtrlGetHandle($cPic), GUICtrlGetHandle($cRadio), 0, 0, 0, 0, BitOR($SWP_NOSIZE, $SWP_NOMOVE))

Edit: this is tested code, not speculation

That works great!

What about here? -

I need to use $GUI_ONTOP because of the label in line 84

you need two includes

#Include <Constants.au3>

#Include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

replace from line 87 on down:

$TabC = GUICtrlCreateTab(160, 60, 335, 325, -1, 0x00100000)
Local $hTabC = GUICtrlGetHandle($TabC)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, 128)
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("T1")

;$1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button 1", 200, 100, 100, 25)
;GUICtrlSetState(-1, 2048)

GUIStartGroup()
$Text1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("", 190, 105, 20, 20)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, 1)
_WinAPI_SetWindowPos($hTabC, GUICtrlGetHandle(-1), 0, 0, 0, 0, BitOR($SWP_NOSIZE, $SWP_NOMOVE))

$Text2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("", 280, 105, 20, 20)
_WinAPI_SetWindowPos($hTabC, GUICtrlGetHandle(-1), 0, 0, 0, 0, BitOR($SWP_NOSIZE, $SWP_NOMOVE))

$Text3 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("", 370, 105, 20, 20)
_WinAPI_SetWindowPos($hTabC, GUICtrlGetHandle(-1), 0, 0, 0, 0, BitOR($SWP_NOSIZE, $SWP_NOMOVE))


GUICtrlCreateLabel("Option A", 210, 108, 80, 20)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Option B", 300, 108, 80, 20)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Option C", 390, 108, 80, 20)

My mistake, I left out the disable label line from the above section

GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 160, 60, 335, 325); label used to hide tab control

GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, -2)

GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)

It finally works! Thanks a lot!!!!!!

GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE) was missing below line 86.

Thanks again!!

no problem

your message loop could use some work

perhaps set those images into pic controls so you don't have to do all that polling

and that sleep in the message loop should be eliminated

you could also add vars to those option labels so they could set the checked state of the radios

so users can click on the label as well as the radio

something like this

$msg = GUIGetMsg(); this is for tab controls
    Switch $msg
        Case $Text1Lb, $Text2Lb, $Text3Lb
            Switch $msg
                Case $Text1Lb
                    GUICtrlSetState($Text1, $GUI_CHECKED)
                Case $Text2Lb
                    GUICtrlSetState($Text2, $GUI_CHECKED)
                Case $Text3Lb
                    GUICtrlSetState($Text3, $GUI_CHECKED)
            EndSwitch
        Case -3
            Exit
        Case $2, $3, $4
            MsgBox(0 + 262144, $GT, "You have pressed a Button")
    EndSwitch

but you need to fix that message loop first, as the above code is somewhat unresponsive

There is an issue with using GUIStartGroup() on radios set to top of the Z order,
but i'm not so sure it's a bug.

~~You have some more data/info on this for me.~~

Never mind. Bug seems no bug after playing around with it some more.

GUIStartGroup() is/seems somewhat of a pre-setting for the next created Radio-control. As such the observed behavior (so far) makes actually sense.

@Playlet

You only need the GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE) line added to the tab masking label.

Remove all the SetWindowPos lines.

Only the last one was actually needed, to place the tab control beneath the lowest Z order radio.

Disabling the label eliminated the need for SetWindowPos.

That code is completely unnecessary if the control code creation order is correct.

I only needed to move the pic creation code after all the controls

because of the bottom up double buffering.

@iEvKI3gv9Wrkd41u

Yes, your absolutely right, definitely not a bug.

I did not consider that Z order was the way that radios are grouped.

I never thought of it before.

AutoIt is my starting and only language, so I never considered what

method was used behind the scenes to keep track of the group members,

and if controls were deleted or added. (so much done for us in AutoIt behind the scenes)

It's by Z order alone, and deleting or adding controls screws up the radio button effect.

$GUI_ONTOP changes the Z order of the control,

it has no effect on the radios group operation if GUICtrlCreateGroup or GUIStartGroup

are not used and there is only one group of radios,

but if used on each radio, it reverses the Z order of the group.
