BrewManNH Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 You can have the button open another GUI that shows the information on it in a label. Make the label clickable, so that when someone clicks on the label it fires an action the same way a button would, that closes the GUI. 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.

BrewManNH Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Here is some very basic code that explains one way of doing it, this uses MessageLoop mode, but is just as easy to do using OnEvent mode. ; *** Start added by AutoIt3Wrapper *** #include <WindowsConstants.au3> ; *** End added by AutoIt3Wrapper *** #region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #AutoIt3Wrapper_Add_Constants=n #endregion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** GUICreate("Test") GUISetBkColor(0x000000) $Button = GUICtrlCreateButton(" Help ", 20, 20) GUISetState() While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $msg Case $Button _NewGui() Case -3 Exit EndSwitch WEnd Func _NewGui() Local $GUI = GUICreate("Help", 240, 340, 200, 200, $WS_POPUP) Local $Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Here's where you put your help text so that the user can read it." & @LF & _ "Click anywhere in the white box to close this window", 20, 20, 200, 300) GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF) GUISetState() While 1 Local $msg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $msg Case -3, $Label GUIDelete($GUI) Return EndSwitch WEnd EndFunc ;==>_NewGui If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.
