set png on button

[legend]

I have this function to set a png picture on a button:

func SetPicture_button($button, $path)
Global $hImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile($path)
Global $hHBitmap = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap($hImage)
_WinAPI_DeleteObject(_SendMessage(GUICtrlGetHandle($button), $BM_SETIMAGE, $IMAGE_BITMAP, $hHBitmap))
EndFunc

but it only works if there's some text inside the button, if you remove the text, it will not work for some reason.

works:

$test = GUICtrlCreateButton("some text", 619, 16, 273, 153)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 30, 400, 0, "Verdana")
SetPicture_button($test, "mobil.png")

 

not working:

$test = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 619, 16, 273, 153)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 30, 400, 0, "Verdana")
SetPicture_button($test, "mobil.png")

 

any ideas :)?

It depends on how you have defined the control $button.

If you add $BS_BITMAP to the GUICtrlCreateButton(), text will be ignored otherwise text will be added right to the image.

I normally use:

$Button_Find = GUICtrlCreatePic($InstallDir & "\search.bmp", 465, $Height + 4, 32, 32)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Button_Find, "Search")

I would imagine it works with png too.
