ReconX Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 in what way? I cannot seem to get anything like that to work, although I am a noob tho. Im trying to change the background color on mouseover and change it back to normal on when the mouse is removed from the Label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted May 8, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 8, 2014 ReconX,Many ways to do this - here is one of the simplest:#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Global $fOver = False $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500) $cLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 10, 10, 100, 100) GUICtrlSetBkColor($cLabel, 0xFF0000) GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch $aCInfo = GUIGetCursorInfo($hGUI) If $aCInfo[4] = $cLabel Then If $fOver = False Then GUICtrlSetBkColor($cLabel, 0x00FF00) $fOver = True EndIf Else If $fOver = True Then GUICtrlSetBkColor($cLabel, 0xFF0000) $fOver = False EndIf EndIf WEndPlease ask if you have any questions.

ReconX Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Thank you that simplified everything ten folds, your are a true gentleman and scholar. Could you help me out by explaining some of the tags so I could understand them more? Such as; $aCInfo & $fOver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconX Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Also, would I have to repeat the coding for each individual label? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted May 8, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 8, 2014 ReconX,$fOver is a flag that shows whether the cursor is over the label. That way we only change the colour once when the cursor enter/leaves the label - if we do not use the flag the label is recoloured on every pass and we get flashing like this:#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500) $cLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 10, 10, 100, 100) GUICtrlSetBkColor($cLabel, 0xFF0000) GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch $aCInfo = GUIGetCursorInfo($hGUI) If $aCInfo[4] = $cLabel Then GUICtrlSetBkColor($cLabel, 0x00FF00) Else GUICtrlSetBkColor($cLabel, 0xFF0000) EndIf WEnd$aCInfo is the array returned by the GUIGetCursorInfo function - look in the Help file to see what it contains. I use a sort of Hungarian notation for my variables so I know what each is expected to contain (a = array; i = integer; f = flag; etc).And yes you would need to code for each label. But what exactly are you trying to do? There might be a better way to code if you explain the overall problem.

ReconX Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) That clears things up a little more. xD I am trying to make a GUI that gives you the option to download certain software. The only thing similar to what I am trying to do, that I have used is the IOBitToolbox which is the program in the image. See how "Win Fix" is highlighted along with the image and text? That's what I am trying to achieve with the mouseover. Another thing is, that when I duplicated the code for another label, it started to flicker a little bit, is that some sort of overload for the $fOver string?

Moderators Melba23 Posted May 8, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 8, 2014 ReconX,As I suspected, there is a much simpler way to code something like that: expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> ; An array to hold the label ControlIDs Global $aLabel[5] ; A variable to show the last label which changed colour Global $iLastLabel = 0 $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500) For $i = 0 To 4 $aLabel[$i] = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 0, 0 + (100 * $i), 500, 100) GUICtrlSetBkColor($aLabel[$i], 0x00FF00) Next GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch ; Get cursor info $aCInfo = GUIGetCursorInfo($hGUI) ; loop through the label array to see which one is under the cursor For $i = 0 To 4 ; If we are over a new label If $aCInfo[4] = $aLabel[$i] And $iLastLabel <> $i Then ; Recolour previos label GUICtrlSetBkColor($aLabel[$iLastLabel], 0x00FF00) ; colour current label GUICtrlSetBkColor($aLabel[$i], 0xFF0000) ; Store this label $iLastLabel = $i ; No point in looking further ExitLoop EndIf Next WEndIt always helps to explain exactly what you are trying to do when posting - it saves people suggesting less than optimal solutions and gets you a working solution much quicker.

ReconX Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Thank you Melba23, you are awesome, and by far the best person I have came across on this forum. I am currently messing around with the code and tweaking it to my liking. I assume that each label would have to have another label to input the text over it?

Moderators Solution Melba23 Posted May 8, 2014 Moderators Solution Share Posted May 8, 2014 ReconX, I assume that each label would have to have another label to input the text over itNo, just add the text to the label itself - perhaps using an array of the required text like this:expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> ; An array to hold the label ControlIDs Global $aLabel[5] ; A variable to show the last label which changed colour Global $iLastLabel = 0 ; An array to hold the label text Global $aText[5] = ["First label", "Second label", "Third label", "Fourth label", "Fifth label"] $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500) For $i = 0 To 4 $aLabel[$i] = GUICtrlCreateLabel($aText[$i], 0, 0 + (100 * $i), 500, 100) GUICtrlSetBkColor($aLabel[$i], 0x00FF00) Next GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch ; Get cursor info $aCInfo = GUIGetCursorInfo($hGUI) ; loop through the label array to see which one is under the cursor For $i = 0 To 4 ; If we are over a new label If $aCInfo[4] = $aLabel[$i] And $iLastLabel <> $i Then ; Recolour previos label GUICtrlSetBkColor($aLabel[$iLastLabel], 0x00FF00) ; colour current label GUICtrlSetBkColor($aLabel[$i], 0xFF0000) ; Store this label $iLastLabel = $i ; No point in looking further ExitLoop EndIf Next WEndAll clear.

Terenz Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Malkey nice example but if you want to "color" by $variable like only $x or $y instead of everything?
