Pook Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Hello, I've been stuck on this for most of the day. (Grrrr) The GUI Opens with some checkboxs created from DATA found in an INI file. (88 in total) Later in the script I have a funtction that checks the to see if the path under that INI key is still active on the network. (That part works) If it's not I want to change the color of the Data to Red. So if let say \\Server\Setup.exe from $Installs[1] is good then $APP_CHKBOX[1] the same. (Black) But if \\Server2\Setup2.exe is not good the $Installs[2] under $APP_CHKBOX[2] would show up RED! The problem is I can get it to work with any thing i do. For example i tried this once. GUICtrlSetColor($APP_CHKBOX[1],0x00bb00) Example of GUI Code: $APP_CHKBOX[1] = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox($Installs[1],30,200) ;Checkbox 1 $APP_CHKBOX[2] = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox($Installs[2] ,30,220) ;Checkbox 2 $APP_CHKBOX[3] = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox($Installs[3] ,30,240) ;Checkbox 3 $APP_CHKBOX[4] = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox($Installs[4] ,30,260) ;Checkbox 4 $APP_CHKBOX[5] = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox($Installs[5] ,30,280) ;Checkbox 5 ANY IDEAS????
BrewManNH Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Try adding the line below, just after the checkbox you want to recolor. $APP_CHKBOX[1] = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox($Installs[1],30,200) ;Checkbox 1 DllCall("UxTheme.dll", "int", "SetWindowTheme", "hwnd", GUICtrlGetHandle(-1), "wstr", 0, "wstr", 0); <<<< Add this line If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Pook Posted January 4, 2012 Author Posted January 4, 2012 Looks like that worked!!! Thanks... I've never used Dllcall before. I have no idea what the code means. Any tips on learning more about that. (DllCalls)
Moderators Melba23 Posted January 4, 2012 Moderators Posted January 4, 2012 Pook,DllCall just accesses the API directly - the trick is to know that there is something to access! In this case it is removing the theme from the control using the "SetWindowTheme" method within "UxTheme.dll". Here is a tutorial on DllCall. As to what you can do with it - just search the forum as there are plenty of examples out there to do all sorts of interesting things.
