GUICtrlSetColor() on checkbox/radiobutton doesn't work on Windows 10

[Zedna 355]

GUICtrlSetColor() on checkbox/radiobutton doesn't work on Windows 10.

On Windows 7 it works OK but on Windows 10 color of checkbox/radiobutton remains default black.

GUICtrlSetBkColor() is OK.

Other controls (label,button) are OK.

 

EDIT:

Testing on AutoIt 3.3.14.5, Windows 10 without Aero (Classic theme).

I'm about to write ticket to BugTrack, can somebody confirm this bug?

 

EDIT2:

The same problem is also with RadioButton

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("Test", 400, 300)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Test", 10, 10, 50, 23)
GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 10, 50, 50, 23)
GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Test", 10, 100, 50, 23)
GUICtrlCreateRadio("Test", 10, 150, 50, 23)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Test", 110, 10, 50, 23)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x00FF00)
GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 110, 50, 50, 23)

GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Test", 110, 100, 50, 23)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x00FF00) ; --> here is problem
GUICtrlCreateRadio("Test", 110, 150, 50, 23)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x00FF00) ; --> here is problem

Working for me on Win 10

@Nine

Thanks for the FIX/WORKAROUND! Works for me.

Anyway I'm surprised as I use Classic theme so I thought theme shouldn't be problem ...

EDIT:

Now I checked my theme and it was Classic in Win7 and after update to Win 10 it's not Classic anymore and there is also Windows transparency ON

so I can understand why this fix is related to my problem (on my configuration)

EDIT2: Anyway mystery remains why only checkbox/radiobutton have this bug and label/button are OK. So some BUG is somewhere and this is only workaround ...

Just for the reference:

Here is the fix compatible with older versions of AutoIt (which I use) - derived from the mentioned above by Nine
