This is kind of a side question but it has always driven me a little crazy. A vast majority of times (as in the example below) I have windows that really only contain one value at any given time. I never want to scroll. I never want lists. if I put a value in that windows I want it to overwrite the value that is already there. After looking at all the options I have chosen a listbox. Is that really my best option?
   Anyway..... I have been trying to get things to display in color and am having fits. It might somehow relate to the above side question. I have been using Melba23's example here:
and can't get anything to display in the windows.  Here is my code:

Hi all,
I am creating a GUI library in Nim with win32 API functions. Even though the syntax is similar to Python, coding is almost similar to C in Nim. 
I can change the back color of the button in NM_CUSTOMDRAW. But I can't change the button text color. here is my pseudo code.  
proc setBtnBackColor*(me : Button, lp: LPNMCUSTOMDRAW ) = if lp.uItemState and CDIS_SELECTED : #------------------ btn clicked # Here i am changing the button color with SelectObject & FillRect. elif lp.uItemState and CDIS_HOT : # ----------------Mouse over # Here i am changing the button's mouse hover color with SelectObject & FillRect. else: # -------------------------Default color set # Here i am changing the button's default color with SelectObject & FillRect. # Here i tried---> SetTextColor(lp.hdc, RGB(102, 255, 51) ) #------- But no luck. #------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please guide me. What i am doing wrong here ?  I am returning "CDRF_SKIPDEFAULT" after calling this function.
Note : I am using subclassed button. So when the parent window receives WM_NOTIFY message, it sends that to my button's WndProc. There i am handling the message.

Im wondering if its possible to read pixel colors from not only from top window.
For example I got a few windows with images how (in attachment video) . Is it possible to read pixel color for example 200px, 200px from top left ?
Can i make something like winlist for the same window names and then get handles for every listed exact name window and then read for every window pixel color for example: 200px, 200px from top left ?

I want to create a slider that has values representing colors, like the slider on the _ChooseColor() GUI in the Misc.au3 UDF, but the max value for a slider is 32767.  
Here is my test code:
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <SliderConstants.au3> #include <Misc.au3> $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 100, 560) $BtnID = GUICtrlCreateButton("Choose", 10, 10, 50, 25) ;~ GUICtrlSetOnEvent($BtnID, "handle_choose_btn") $flags = BitOR($TBS_AUTOTICKS, $TBS_VERT) $iSliderID = GUICtrlCreateSlider(10, 50, 40, 420, $flags) $hSlider_hWnd = GUICtrlGetHandle($iSliderID) $iMaxVal = 32767 GUICtrlSetLimit($iSliderID, $iMaxVal, 0) ; change min/max value GUISetState() GUIRegisterMsg($WM_VSCROLL, "WM_V_Slider") While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYUP ToolTip("") case $BtnID handle_choose_btn() EndSwitch WEnd ; React to a slider movement Func WM_V_Slider($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam) #forceref $hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam If $lParam = $hSlider_hWnd Then $iValue = GUICtrlRead($iSliderID) ConsoleWrite("+++: $iValue = " & $iValue & @CRLF) ToolTip(getRGB($iValue)) EndIf Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG EndFunc ;==>WM_V_Slider ; Extract the RGB components from the color value Func getRGB($iColorVal) Local $hexstr, $b, $g, $r, $rgb $hexstr = StringFormat("%06X", $iColorVal) $r = StringMid($hexstr, 1, 2) $g = StringMid($hexstr, 3, 2) $b = StringMid($hexstr, 5, 2) $rgb = StringFormat("" & $iColorVal & " - rgb: %02s %02s %02s", $r, $g, $b) Return ($rgb) EndFunc ;==>getRGB Func handle_choose_btn() $color = _ChooseColor(2, 255, 0, $hGUI) ConsoleWrite("+++: $color = " & Hex($color, 8) & @CRLF) EndFunc ;==>handle_choose_btn
