qwert Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I've started working with radio buttons in more detail. I immediately found that there are two ways to create a simple button. Before I get too far into my implementation, is it advisable to start with GUIButton.au3 functions for even simple cases? Is it considered "the new way". Or is it only advisable where more detailed controls are needed? My concern stems from the help statement: "This function is for Advanced users and for learning how the control works." I certainly don't want to overcomplicate my script. Thanks in advance for advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted January 17, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 17, 2017 qwert, I have never used anything other than the native GUICtrlCreateRadio command for radio buttons. UDF functions usually offer you more control over the control (pun intended) but at the cost of having to do much more coding to get everything working - you often need Windows handlers to detect control events rather than the native OnEvent/MessageLoop commands (look at the _GUICtrlButton_Create example scrip tin the Help file). Do you have any particular reason why the native command is not suitable for your project?

Only that when I downloaded an example from the forum and noticed that it used _GUICtrlButton_Create. The more I investigated, the more questions arose. At this point, I'm perfectly happy using GUICtrlCreateRadio. Sounds like that's still the mainstream method. I just didn't want to skip using the UDF if it was "better". Thanks for the quick response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
