GUICtrlGetState numeric value table listing?

Recommended Posts

Hello,

This should be a simple question. According to the Help File for the 'GUICtrlGetState' command...

Success: Returns the state. See GUICtrlSetState for values

Failure: Returns -1 if control is not defined.

However upon checking the 'State Table' for the 'GUICtrlSetState' the numeric values do not seem to be listed, only a listing of the various states...how do I know what the values represent that the GUICtrlGetState returns? Specifically what are 80 and 144? I believe they are 'enabled' and 'disabled' but where is that info given in the help file? Thanks in advance.

The value of those variables are in the GUIConstantsEx.au3 file, they're constants that should be used in place of the actual numeric values. There is a mix of hex and decimal numbers in that file, so you may need to look for both if you're looking to find out what they are pointing to.

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.

The value returned by 'GUICtrlGetState' can be a combination of several state values.

80 = Visible + Enabled - 16+64

144 = Visible + Disabled - 16+128

Example of how to check for a specific state.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
Local $n, $msg

GUICreate("My GUI (GetControlState)")
$b1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button 1", 10, 10)
GUICtrlSetState($b1, $GUI_DISABLE) ; checked
$b2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button 2", 100, 10)
GUICtrlSetState($b2, $GUI_ENABLE) ; checked

GUISetState() ; will display an empty dialog box

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()

If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
WEnd

$iState1 = GUICtrlGetState($b1)
$fIsEnabled1 = (BitAND($iState1,$GUI_ENABLE) = $GUI_ENABLE)
$iState2 = GUICtrlGetState($b2)
$fIsEnabled2 = (BitAND($iState2,$GUI_ENABLE) = $GUI_ENABLE)
MsgBox(0, "state", StringFormat("Button 1 State = %inButton 1 is Enabled = %snButton 2 State = %inButton 2 is Enabled = %s ", $iState1, $fIsEnabled1, $iState2, $fIsEnabled2))
EndFunc ;==>Example

Edit: Added example
