Change color of GUICtrlCreateProgress

[Invicore]

Hi I want to change background and foreground color of Progress bar that I created with GUICtrlCreateProgress

I found this piece of code in this forum, this code only change progressBar foreground color to blue

$Progress1 = GUICtrlCreateProgress(25, 150, 350, 26)
DllCall("UxTheme.dll", "int", "SetWindowTheme", "hwnd", GUICtrlGetHandle($Progress1), "wstr", 0, "wstr", 0)
GUICtrlSetStyle($Progress1, BitOr($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_PROGRESS, $PBS_SMOOTH))

its possible to for example change background color to black and foreground to red

thanks

Invicore,

You can change the colour of the bar itself like this:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ProgressConstants.au3>
#include <SendMessage.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 300, 380)

GUIStartGroup()
$cRadio_1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Green", 60, 95, 60, 20)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_CHECKED)
$cRadio_2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Red", 120, 95, 60, 20)
$cRadio_3 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Yellow", 180, 95, 60, 20)
$cProgress = GUICtrlCreateProgress(25, 130, 250, 15)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, 50)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $cRadio_1
            _SendMessage(GUICtrlGetHandle($cProgress), $PBM_SETSTATE, 1)
        Case $cRadio_2
            _SendMessage(GUICtrlGetHandle($cProgress), $PBM_SETSTATE, 2)
        Case $cRadio_3
            _SendMessage(GUICtrlGetHandle($cProgress), $PBM_SETSTATE, 3)
    EndSwitch

WEnd

No idea about how to change the background.

thank you, I search a little more and found this code In this post

DllCall("UxTheme.dll", "int", "SetWindowTheme", "hwnd", GUICtrlGetHandle(-1), "wstr", 0, "wstr", 0)
GUICtrlSetStyle($Progress1, BitOr($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_PROGRESS, $PBS_SMOOTH))

GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xff0000) ; Red
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x000000) ; Black

with it, its possible to change  color of both background and bar itself

Invicore,

Great.

But when you reply in future, please use the "Reply to this topic" button at the top of the thread or the "Reply to this topic" editor at the bottom rather than the "Quote" button - I know what I wrote and it just pads the thread unnecessarily. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
