Button doesnt work over image

[Brentp]

Hi all,

I have some code which is just a box that has a background image and has some buttons on it, when it runs the buttons are under the background image.

If you hover over where the buttons should be they then appear.

I have tried moving the line $Pic1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("BACKGROUND.BMP", 0, 0, 401, 265)

up the top,

When you run it the buttons are on top of the background, but they are not clickable.

any ideas?

Thanks

$Form1_1 = GUICreate("Selector", 402, 273, 205, 142)
GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button 1", 95, 112, 97, 25)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, 400, 0, "Calibri")
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button 2", 95, 148, 97, 25)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, 400, 0, "Calibri")
$Button3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button 3", 95, 183, 97, 25)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, 400, 0, "Calibri")
$Button4 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button 4", 300, 142, 67, 25)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, 400, 0, "Calibri")
$Pic1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("BACKGROUND.BMP", 0, 0, 401, 265)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

Brentp,

If I had a pound for every time I have answered this I would be considerably richer!

From the Help file:

"If a picture is set as a background picture, as the other controls will overlap, it's important to disable the pic control [...]: GuiCtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE)."

Now you should find it all works as you want:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$Form1_1 = GUICreate("Selector", 402, 273, 205, 142)

$Pic1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("BACKGROUND.BMP", 0, 0, 401, 265)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)

$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button 1", 95, 112, 97, 25)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, 400, 0, "Calibri")
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button 2", 95, 148, 97, 25)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, 400, 0, "Calibri")
$Button3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button 3", 95, 183, 97, 25)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, 400, 0, "Calibri")
$Button4 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button 4", 300, 142, 67, 25)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, 400, 0, "Calibri")

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    If GUIGetMsg() = -3 Then Exit
WEnd

All clear?
