kaotkbliss Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) you need to disable your pic after you set it to a button so you can "click through it" *edit* something like $pic = GUICtrlCreatePic("resize",0,0,160,310,-1,-1)GUICtrlCreateLabel("Welcome to the "&$product&" Instant Installer",180,20,260,50,-1,-1)GUICtrlSetFont(-1,15,400,0,"MS Sans Serif")GUICtrlCreateLabel("",0,310,495,50,-1,131072)GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1,0xF0F0F0) guictrlsetstate($pic,$gui_disable) Edited November 13, 2013 by kaotkbliss 010101000110100001101001011100110010000001101001011100110010000 001101101011110010010000001110011011010010110011100100001 My Android cat and mouse gamehttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.KaosVisions.WhiskersNSqueek We're gonna need another Timmy!

Malkey Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I believe the z-order of controls is in the order of their creation. The top of the z-order is the last created. So to have the buttons on top, create the buttons last. ; -- Created with ISN Form Studio 2 for ISN AutoIt Studio -- ; #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <GuiButton.au3> $product = "test" $i1 = GUICreate($product & " Installer", 495, 360, -1, -1, -1, -1) GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF) GUICtrlCreatePic("resize\", 0, 0, 160, 310, -1, -1) GUICtrlCreateLabel("Welcome to the " & $product & " Instant Installer", 180, 20, 260, 50, -1, -1) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 15, 400, 0, "MS Sans Serif") GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 0, 310, 495, 50, -1, 131072) GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xF0F0F0) GUICtrlCreateLabel("Instant Install wil guide you through the setup of " & $product & "." & @CRLF & "" & @CRLF & "It is recommended that you close all other applications before starting setup.

BrewManNH Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 If you disable the label you won't have to worry about when it is created, z-order doesn't matter if the label is disabled because it won't affect any controls that it surrounds, just like when using a Pic as a background. Just use $GUI_DISABLED for every control you use as a background. 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.

kaotkbliss Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 so does mousing over the buttons in your unaltered script above. gui_disable does not hide anything, it makes it inactive. put your buttons just above the guisetstate as you mentioned, but comment out the gui_disable line and try to click cancel. go ahead, try. 010101000110100001101001011100110010000001101001011100110010000 001101101011110010010000001110011011010010110011100100001 My Android cat and mouse gamehttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.KaosVisions.WhiskersNSqueek We're gonna need another Timmy!

BrewManNH Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Odd, it's always worked right for me, but that script definitely doesn't. BTW, could you PLEASE use the correct constant variables when posting a script like that? It's a pain in the ass trying to figure out what it is you're using when you use magic numbers like that. First I have to convert them to hex then look them up in the help file, and hope that they're listed and you haven't added some together. Thanks.
