Hi, I really like your XSkin. But I have one question.

Why does your XSkinButton return $ButtonIndex?

If you return $CtrlButton[$ButtonIndex][0], you can do something like this:

expandcollapse popup

#include <XSkin.au3>
$gui = XSkinGuiCreate ( "test", 265, 275, "skins folder" )
$Button1 = XSkinButton ( "test", 152, 64, 81, 49)
GuiSetState()

While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg ( )
    Select
        Case $msg = $Button1
            Msgbox ( 0, "test", "No function used" )
    EndSelect
WEndoÝ÷ Ùt¤pn¶Ú'~éܶ*'jëh×6
Func XSkinButton($Btext, $Bleft, $Btop, $Bwidth, $Bheight, $event_function = "")
    ReDim $CtrlButton[UBound($CtrlButton) + 1][4]
    Local $ButtonIndex = UBound($CtrlButton) - 1
    $CtrlButton[$ButtonIndex][0] = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", $Bleft, $Btop, $Bwidth, $Bheight, $SS_BLACKRECT)
    GUICtrlSetCursor(-1, 0)
    $CtrlButton[$ButtonIndex][2] = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", $Bleft, $Btop, $Bwidth - 1, $Bheight - 1, $SS_WHITERECT)
    $CtrlButton[$ButtonIndex][3] = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", $Bleft + 1, $Btop + 1, $Bwidth - 2, $Bheight - 2, $SS_GRAYRECT)
 $CtrlButton[$ButtonIndex][1] = GUICtrlCreateLabel($Btext, $Bleft + 1, $Btop + 1, $Bwidth - 3, $Bheight - 3, $SS_NOTIFY & $SS_CENTER)
    GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $btn_color)
    GUICtrlSetColor(-1, $fnt_color)
    If Not StringInStr($event_function, "XSkinMBI") Then
        ReDim $CtrlIDA[UBound($CtrlIDA) + 1]
        $CtrlIDA[UBound($CtrlIDA) - 1] = $CtrlButton[$ButtonIndex][1]
        ReDim $CtrlIDB[UBound($CtrlIDB) + 1]
        $CtrlIDB[UBound($CtrlIDB) - 1] = $CtrlButton[$ButtonIndex][0]
        ReDim $CtrlIDC[UBound($CtrlIDC) + 1]
        $CtrlIDC[UBound($CtrlIDC) - 1] = $event_function
    Else
        If StringInStr($event_function, "XSkinMBI1") Then
            $CtrlIDMA[1] = $CtrlButton[$ButtonIndex][1]
            $CtrlIDMB[1] = $CtrlButton[$ButtonIndex][0]
        Else
            $CtrlIDMA[2] = $CtrlButton[$ButtonIndex][1]
            $CtrlIDMB[2] = $CtrlButton[$ButtonIndex][0]
        EndIf
    EndIf
    Return $CtrlButton[$ButtonIndex][0]
EndFunc   ;==>XSkinButton

Thanks Joke....

Well, The reasons i used the return of $ButtonIndex is because

1

some one wanted to be able to disable the button, that would require the button index for the 3 controls in each button... this was addition was scripted by ( will find ) AzKay ???

2

If you test what you scripted, you may find that the $msg is not executed immediately, there are previous post about this topic... also the function ( $event_function ) will be executed immediatly

AFAIK

It is not executed immediately if you use Mouseover()

EDIT:

It works well if you put MouseOver() before $msg= GuiGetMsg().

I noticed that same effect with the XSkinTab()

If $msg= GuiGetMsg() is after the XSkin-loop-cheking, it seems to work better

This is a link to a compiled list of skins (all 44 and the helpfile!). I thought I'd post it.

The link ():

BROKEN LINK REMOVED

Keep up the great work Valuater! This has to be the best thing since sliced bread

Edit: Fixed it up..

Edit 2: Changed link

EDIT 3: Changed link all over again..

Edit 4: Still dosent work. It can now be found here, down the bottom of the page, under "Misc"

Wow, this is great work! Big thanx!

I notice that when you press some button in the MsgBox, and hold it down few seconds, then the msgbox disappears and shown again few times.

It is possible to collect all of XSkin stuff to one archive and upload it?

Thanx again for great scripts!

P.S

Soryy for my english :">

@Bert... your link is not getting to the zip file?????

Soryy for my english :

@MsCreatoR

Yes, i noted that if you keep the key pressed another msgbox will show, thats why i started _ControlHover() because it recognizes the release of the button

bert did have the XSkin.au3 file, help file, and all of the skins in the post above, however the "plug-ins" are still seperate

Having all of the XSkin Stuff in one archive is more difficult to update, and i have noticed that many only use the skin itself, thus a "all inclusive" would just be more "bloated" ....

[Valuater]

You sent me a message on this post ( http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...c=39673&hl= ), that basically said that you needed to see my code, so that you could help me find the issue. Well, here it is... (I have commented out line 134 and 135, the xSkinToolBar parts) ...so any help would be greatly appreciated.

;********************************************************************************

;* This script was written for AutoIT v3 *

;* Please document and changes below (follow template) *

;********************************************

and so on.....

per the demonstration for the XSkin toolbar, the toolbar is actually created AFTER the GUI is complete

in your script, replace these lines to add a demo

_GUICtrlListViewSetColumnWidth($lvGroups, 2, 517); your last line >>>>>>>>>>>> START
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI)

$tbToolbar = XSkinToolBarCreate($GUI, 1, 1, 230)
$tbiCompMgmt = XSkinToolBarButton(15)

$TButton1 = XSkinToolBarButton(22)
XSkinToolBarButton(21)
XSkinToolBarButton(17)
XSkinToolBarButton(44)
XSkinToolBarSeparator()

; #2 - Using Icons from an exe file
XSkinToolBarButton( "", @WindowsDir & "\notepad.exe")
XSkinToolBarButton("", @ProgramFilesDir & "\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe")
XSkinToolBarButton( "", @WindowsDir & "\explorer.exe")
XSkinToolBarButton( "", @SystemDir & "\calc.exe")

GUISetState()
;********************************************************************************
;* This section is used to "watch" for GUI events, then act on them depending *
;* on what the event is. *
;********************************************************************************

While 1; to your while loop >>>>>>>>>>>>>>  END

(Sorry for the double post )

I updated my post. The like is up there, (in my post). and it can be found under "Misc".

Great job Valuater! Keep up the great work!!

Hi,

Kudos on an excellent program. Thank you very much for donating it to the cause.

I'm still getting my feet wet with Auto-it in general so bear with me here.

I've created a few custom toolbars for my design apps and would like to skin them. From what I can gather, the X-Skin Toolbar requires that you create an X-Skin GUI first, is that right? If so, does that mean I can only use the toolbar in my X-Skin GUIs?

Thanks again, I promise to donate a skin or two once I get my feet planted. (although Big Daddy is a hard act to follow, props!)

Thanks....

an XSkin GUI is NOT required

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <XSkinToolbar.au3>

$GUI = GUICreate("My GUI")
GUISetState()

$tbToolbar = XSkinToolBarCreate($GUI, 1, 1, 230)
$tbiCompMgmt = XSkinToolBarButton(15)

$TButton1 = XSkinToolBarButton(22)
XSkinToolBarButton(21)
XSkinToolBarButton(17)
XSkinToolBarButton(44)
XSkinToolBarSeparator()

; #2 - Using Icons from an exe file
XSkinToolBarButton( "", @WindowsDir & "\notepad.exe")
XSkinToolBarButton("", @ProgramFilesDir & "\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe")
XSkinToolBarButton( "", @WindowsDir & "\explorer.exe")
XSkinToolBarButton( "", @SystemDir & "\calc.exe")

GUISetState()

While GUIGetMsg() <> -3
WEnd

and yes... big_daddy's stuff is Real Hard to follow!!!

Thank you for the kind words.

It has been awhile so here's another one...

Extract this zip file into your "\XSkin\Skins" folder.

Carbon.zip

[big_daddy]

I just updated all my previous skin posts to an actual attachment for tracking purposes. I also looked through the log files on my server and added up the number of downloads for each and add that to the post as well. The download numbers actually surprised me!

I figured you had MANY viewers download your skins

*** added Carbon to your design list

thanks again!

Oh,...you just HAD to do that, didn't you? Hehehe

Thanks for all of the help, I'll let you know how it goes.

[Dolemite50]

Still no luck, I may not have asked my question properly.

Can you create an x-skin floating toolbar to be used for launching apps or sending commands throughout Windows? ...or is x-skin toolbar only designed to exist within apps you've made yourself using GUICreate? I would like to use only the toolbar itself but the above example shows it attached to an AutoIt GUI. I tried launching Notepad and setting it as the $GUI parameter in your code but no go. I also tried setting the first WinState statement to HIDE hoping that it would show only the toolbar and not the GUI BG, but nay.

Ugghhh,..I can hear your eyes rolling from here. I'm sorry for the Newb-attack.
