How To Make A Gui Look Better....

[meetrix]

I like it very much. I will start playing with it. I'm new to autoit, but it's very powerful.

Thanks, I like making GUIs ( :

What did you do to it Josh to make it look so awesome?

It's just a jpeg with invisible labels over it - When the labels are clicked ("buttons"), the functions are launched.

do the buttons click or show action when moused over / clicked?

I have tested and they do not. Is there a way to gets some button pressing action out of them easily?

Can you skin regular buttons in AutoIT?

You can have different jpegs for buttons instead of one flat one, i.e.

While 1
     $Msg = GUIGetMessage()

     Select
          Case $Msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Or Close
               ExitLoop
          Case $Msg = $Button1
               GuiCtrlCreatePic(example)
     EndSelect
WEnd

That's of course crude (Made here, not in SCiTE), but that's the basic concept. You can have mouseovers as well, and even animated ones if you're crafty enough.

Using MousGetPos() / ControlGetPos() this can be accomplished easy enough, I've made several examples of how to do this, the $variable names I've used that you can do an advanced search for is $Mpos and $Cpos (Use quotes around those to find the threads). Then it's just a matter of an If/Then statement (of course you would have to have different pics as JoshDB has explained).
