multiline on a button

[Bert]

I'm trying to make a button that is colored and is multi lined. I'm using Gary's GuiButton.au3. I can make buttons no problem. When I try to make it multi lined, the output looks like this:

I need it to looke like this, but with the colors like my first example:

The function that makes the button that Gary made is this:

Func _GuiCtrlCreateButton($s_text, $x, $y, $width, $height, $text_color = -1, $back_color = -1, $b_RGB = True)
    Local $button_id = GUICtrlCreateButton("", $x, $y, $width, $height)
    If $text_color = -1 Then $text_color = 0x000000
    If $back_color = -1 Then $back_color = 0xd3d3d3
    If $b_RGB Then
        Local $tc = Hex(String($text_color), 6)
        $text_color = '0x' & StringMid($tc, 5, 2) & StringMid($tc, 3, 2) & StringMid($tc, 1, 2)
        $tc = Hex(String($back_color), 6)
        $back_color = '0x' & StringMid($tc, 5, 2) & StringMid($tc, 3, 2) & StringMid($tc, 1, 2)
    EndIf
    If Number($Button_Info[UBound($Button_Info) - 1][0]) <> 0 Then ReDim $Button_Info[UBound($Button_Info) + 1][4]
    $Button_Info[UBound($Button_Info) - 1][0] = $button_id
    $Button_Info[UBound($Button_Info) - 1][1] = $s_text
    $Button_Info[UBound($Button_Info) - 1][2] = $text_color
    $Button_Info[UBound($Button_Info) - 1][3] = $back_color
    GUICtrlSetStyle($button_id, BitOR($WS_TABSTOP, $BS_NOTIFY, $BS_OWNERDRAW)) ; Set the ownerdrawn flag
    Return $button_id
EndFunc   ;==>_GuiC

On the line: Local $button_id = GUICtrlCreateButton("", $x, $y, $width, $height), I tried to add $BS_MULTILINE to fix the problem, but it didn't work. Thoughts?

[CoePSX]

Try adding the $BS_MULTILINE style.

[Bert]

I tried that already. I have to add it in the GuiButton.au3, and you can see in my first post I explain this. When you use _GuiCtrlCreateButton as defined in GuiButton.au3, there is no place to add an extended style

_GuiCtrlCreateButton($s_text, $x, $y, $width, $height, $text_color = -1, $back_color = -1, $b_RGB = True)

I have to add it in the function. The problem is, when I add it, It makes no difference. The code in the function is somewhat more advanced than my skills, so I was hoping someone ( @ Gary) would take pity on me and help a fellow coder out.

On the line: Local $button_id = GUICtrlCreateButton("", $x, $y, $width, $height), I tried to add $BS_MULTILINE to fix the problem, but it didn't work. Thoughts?

Strange. I just added that "$bs_multiline" to the style (not to the ex_style), and it worked o.k. for me ...

[edit]

I realized, after going to bed, that I used a simple GUICtrlCreateButton(...), and not that script you've shown (that allso changes the controls attributes). So, YMMV.

Suggestion : Try a simple button first (as I did), and than try what happens when you do the same in the script. Allso try what happens when you disable that GUICtrlSetStyle(...) at the bottom.

hmmm, I will test it again in the morning.

[Bert]

OK, I got it to do an multi line with what you suggested. Now I have a second problem, and puzzled on how to fix it. I changed in GuiButton.au3 the following line in the function from this:

Here is GuiButton.au3. I have changed line 460 to fix the multi line problem, and you will see where I commented out the original line. (total lines: 463)

Now I have a second problem, and puzzled on how to fix it.

...

When I ran my test script to see how the button would look, I got this:

<snip>

You notice I now have the text on the other 2 buttons not being centered.

Thanks for posting the full code. It was very helpfull in finding both the cause, and a solution <thumbs up>

The solution is actually quite simple, and I'm almost sure you will at least have a smile when I tell you : don't add the "$BS_MULTILINE" flag when you do not have multiple lines.

The resulting code could look something like this :

Func _GuiCtrlCreateButton($s_text, $x, $y, $width, $height, $text_color = -1, $back_color = -1, $b_RGB = True)
  Local $button_id = GUICtrlCreateButton("", $x, $y, $width, $height), $bits=BitOR($WS_TABSTOP, $BS_NOTIFY, $BS_OWNERDRAW)         ;<###

  If $text_color = -1 Then $text_color = 0x000000
  If $back_color = -1 Then $back_color = 0xd3d3d3
  If $b_RGB Then
    Local $tc = Hex(String($text_color), 6)
    $text_color = '0x' & StringMid($tc, 5, 2) & StringMid($tc, 3, 2) & StringMid($tc, 1, 2)
    $tc = Hex(String($back_color), 6)
    $back_color = '0x' & StringMid($tc, 5, 2) & StringMid($tc, 3, 2) & StringMid($tc, 1, 2)
  EndIf
  If Number($Button_Info[UBound($Button_Info) - 1][0]) <> 0 Then ReDim $Button_Info[UBound($Button_Info) + 1][4]
  $Button_Info[UBound($Button_Info) - 1][0] = $button_id
  $Button_Info[UBound($Button_Info) - 1][1] = $s_text
  $Button_Info[UBound($Button_Info) - 1][2] = $text_color
  $Button_Info[UBound($Button_Info) - 1][3] = $back_color
  if StringInStr($s_text,@crlf)>0 then $bits=BitOr($bits,$BS_MULTILINE)         ;<###
  
  GUICtrlSetStyle($button_id, $bits) ; Set the ownerdrawn flag         ;<###
  Return $button_id
EndFunc ;==>_GuiC

Sounds like I will need to have more than one function to solve this for I need to have it both ways. (Buttons with one line, and buttons with 2. Should be pretty simple to do. THANKS!

Actually, the code I've posted in my previous message allready takes care of that : only if the text contains a @crlf combination it adds the $bs_multiline -bit. So, you can create both multi and single-line buttons with the same _GuiCtrlCreateButton code.

In other words : the code I posted is ment as a full replacement of the code you currently have there.

I changed GuiButton.au3 so it will do multi and also center the text.

Func _GuiCtrlCreateButton($multiline,$s_text, $x, $y, $width, $height, $text_color = -1, $back_color = -1, $b_RGB = True)
    Local $button_id = GUICtrlCreateButton("", $x, $y, $width, $height)
    If $text_color = -1 Then $text_color = 0x000000
    If $back_color = -1 Then $back_color = 0xd3d3d3
    If $b_RGB Then
        Local $tc = Hex(String($text_color), 6)
        $text_color = '0x' & StringMid($tc, 5, 2) & StringMid($tc, 3, 2) & StringMid($tc, 1, 2)
        $tc = Hex(String($back_color), 6)
        $back_color = '0x' & StringMid($tc, 5, 2) & StringMid($tc, 3, 2) & StringMid($tc, 1, 2)
    EndIf
    If Number($Button_Info[UBound($Button_Info) - 1][0]) <> 0 Then ReDim $Button_Info[UBound($Button_Info) + 1][4]
    $Button_Info[UBound($Button_Info) - 1][0] = $button_id
    $Button_Info[UBound($Button_Info) - 1][1] = $s_text
    $Button_Info[UBound($Button_Info) - 1][2] = $text_color
    $Button_Info[UBound($Button_Info) - 1][3] = $back_color
    if $multiline = 1 then 
        GUICtrlSetStyle($button_id, BitOR($WS_TABSTOP, $BS_NOTIFY, $BS_OWNERDRAW)) ; Set the ownerdrawn flag
    elseif $multiline = 2 then 
        GUICtrlSetStyle($button_id, BitOR($WS_TABSTOP, $BS_NOTIFY, $BS_OWNERDRAW, $BS_MULTILINE))
    else 
        ConsoleWriteError("_GuiCtrlCreateButton($multiline - Error: parameter must be either 1 for single line, or 2 for multiline")
        exit
    endif   
    Return $button_id
EndFunc   ;==>_GuiCtrlCreateButton

Yep, that's another way to do it (adding another argument)

But that way you have two arguments saying exactly the same : your "$multiline" argument (which should be 1 or 2), and the "$s_text" (which is, or is not multi-line (does, or does not contain a @crlf -combination) ).

In other words : with those two arguments you can create four combinations, of which just two are valid :

"$multiline" =1 , "$s_text" is single-line --> O.k.

"$multiline" =2 , "$s_text" is single-line --> Faulty

"$multiline" =1 , "$s_text" is multi-line --> Faulty

"$multiline" =2 , "$s_text" is multi-line --> O.K.

Its not what I call "user friendly"

? you lost me on that one. Could you show me how you would do it? Odds are it would make much more sense to me if I see a example of the way you are refering to.

? you lost me on that one.

Simply said, you have now two arguments, named "$multiline" and "$s_text" in which both indicate the button should be multi-line (or not). The "$multiline" variable should be set to 2, and and the "$s_text" variable should contain a multi-line string (containing a line-break : @crlf). If variables do not match the result will be a "wrong" button appearance.

Could you show me how you would do it? Odds are it would make much more sense to me if I see a example of the way you are refering to.

I allready did : the code in the reply at position #7.

It checks if the "$s_text" argument contains a @crlf -combination, and sets the button to multi-line if so.
