Buttons disabled after adding background image

[JomarSevillejo]

Good day everyone! I am facing a small problem here..
I am new to autoIT and therefore I have a few questions to ask.

I have made a GUI using KODA form Designer.
I've added buttons and input boxes, then I decided to add a background image to the GUI using "Picture" from the tab "Additional", but when I did, all buttons and other GUI elements were unclickable.

Why is this?

Is there a "proper way" of adding a background image?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

If you read carefully the helpfile it's stated :

If a picture is set as a background picture, as the other controls will overlap, it is important to disable the pic control: GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE).

But there are many people like you who asked the same question so a quick forum search would have led you to the anwser

Funny how I found that in the help file just now xD

Anyways, thanks!

I got it solved by changing the order in which the GUI elements are made

Since it said "Overlap" then it must have been on top..

This "workaround" won't work for some cases

.

as soon as you click the pic, it will overlap again

Thanks for the info!

I also have a small partion where a picture changes dynamically. With the info you've given I now know what to avoid.. Thanks!

Oh Okay thanks, I will. I don't see any reason why I shouldn't
