Label not showing on GUI background image

[rdwray]

There are several problems: 1) the label (text) does not show on top of the GUI image. 2) when the label is applied the GUI image is trucated on the left by 5 pixels. 3) The task bar icon disppears when the mouse is over it and closes the window. I did not finish adding the required images for the buttons because I have to create them.

rdwray,

- 1. It does if you use the correct syntax - the native functions do not take the GUI handle as the first parameter.

- 2. I get no truncation of the image when the label is displayed.

- 3. The tray and taskbar icons do not close the script when I put the cursor over them.

And there are several other problems:

- 1. You have already been told here that you need to disable your background image if you want the other controls to function - at present the buttons do not work. But you cannot use the $GUI_WS_EX_PARENTDRAG style then - look at the Moving and Resizing PopUp GUIs tutorial in the Wiki to find out about other ways to move the GUI.

- 2. The converse to the first answer I gave you - you need a handle if you use _GUICtrlButton_SetImage - but why do so when you can use the native GUICtrlSetImage function?

- 3. You do not need a Sleep if you use GUIGetMsg in your idle loop - it just makes the GUI less responsive. But why even look for $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE when you have a popup style GUI with no closure [X]?

- 4. Why use ControlSetText (and use a non-existent title to boot) rather than GUICtrlSetData?

- 5. If you use _IsPressed in a loop you shoudl open the DLL and use it as a parameter as explained in the Help file.

- 6. You will get terrible flashing of the label and button as you constantly reset the same text and image unless you use some form of state control to only change them when needed.

I think this goes some way to doing what you want - you will need to change the image paths of course:

Thanks M23,

Before remarks I ran into 1 issue in that the text in the label should change when the cursor hovers over the button before it is pressed; other wise it looks works well.

-1) I looked at wiki and I have previously used mouse non-client ot move objects and thought I would try something else.

-2) These suggestions is what I am looking for.

-3) I found one of the syntax errors just after making the post.

-4) I have not added the close button yet, it is on the way.

-5) Ok, the help file does show the .dll as an option and not required. _IsPressed($sHexKey [, $vDLL = 'user32.dll'])
