Iznogoud Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I want to create a button wich i can place in the bottom right corner of the screen wich is always ontop and when pressed it executes an executable. #include <GUIConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <GuiEdit.au3> #include <ButtonConstants.au3> $MainWindow = GUICreate ("Example", 40, 40, "-1", "-1", 0x80880008) GUICtrlCreateButton("Button", 0, 0, 40, 40, $BS_ICON) GUICtrlSetImage(-1, "C:\Keyboard.ico", 22) GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_ONTOP) GuiSetState() While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() Select Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop EndSelect Wend This looks strange because the button is inside the GUI and you always see the border. I would prefer to have an image wich i can click and execute the program, but i don't know how. In my code above you see the $GUI_ONTOP, but this doesn't work, even if i comment out the GUICtrlSetImage code it doesn't work. In simple words i am looking for an image wich is always ontop in the bottom right corner wich i could click the show the onscreen keyboard wich is already available in windows 7. Could someone help me with this. I am stuck at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrewManNH Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Try using @SystemDir & "osk.exe" instead of C:WindowsSystem32osk.exe and see if that makes a difference.
