GUICtrlSetColor() on checkbox text


 Share

Recommended Posts

In the help file, it says the following:

Checkbox, Radio, Group or Progress controls cannot be painted if the "Windows XP/Vista style" is used.

I know there's a GUICtrlSetStyle() and a GUISetStyle()... but how do I make it so that it's 'not the Windows XP/Vista style' ?

Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped using ladies scented body wash and switched to Old Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re on a boat with the man your man could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an oyster with two tickets to that thing you love. Look again, the tickets are now diamonds. Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice and not a lady. I’m on a horse.”

You can use this function from guiness.

; #FUNCTION# =========================================================================================================
; Name...........:  _GUICtrlSetTheme
; Description ...:  Sets a 'themed' Control with the ability to change the color of the control
; Syntax.........:  _GUICtrlSetTheme($iControl = -1, $bThemeColor = 0x24D245)
; Parameters ....:  $iControl - [optional] A valid control ID. Default = -1 (last control ID)
;                   $hHandle - [optional] A valid Hex color value. Default = 0x24D245
; Requirement(s).:  v3.3.0.0 or higher
; Return values .:  Success - Returns a value from the 'SetWindowTheme' DLL call.
;                   Failure - Returns 0 with @extended set as 1.
; Author ........:  guinness.
; Example........;  Yes
;=====================================================================================================================
Func _GUICtrlSetTheme($iControl = -1, $bThemeColor = 0x24D245)
     If Not IsHWnd($iControl) Then $iControl = GUICtrlGetHandle($iControl)
     Local $aReturn = DllCall("UxTheme.dll", "int", "SetWindowTheme", "hwnd", $iControl, "wstr", 0, "wstr", 0)
     If @error Then Return SetError(1, 1, 0)
     GUICtrlSetColor($iControl, $bThemeColor)
     Return $aReturn[0]
EndFunc   ;==>_GUICtrlSetTheme

Or just use DllCall("UxTheme.dll", "int", "SetWindowTheme", "hwnd", <whatver variable points to the control>, "wstr", 0, "wstr", 0) after the control is created.

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.

Is there a way to reset the style of the control back to default? I tried to read the previous windows theme by using GetWindowTheme and use SetWindowTheme to set it, but I couldn't get it to work.

Not sure if this works for this purpose... but give it a shot ^_^

GUICtrlSetStyle($control_ID, 0)
