Icons & Buttons

[AutoItGal 0]

I am wondering whether is it possible for me to place an icon picture and it's name beside it. Something like the one in the following forum.

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=20967

But I want to do it on a button.

Thanks.

Hi ,

Your code works. But I have a problem. When I create a tab using "GUICTRLCREATETAB", the tab window covers the button and the text. How to make it visible?

Anyone can help me out with this?

Here is the code by Valuater added a tab window. When I add the tab window, the button will be blocked by the tab window. Please help me.

Thanks.

Do you want the button on the tab? Or above the tab?

Above the tab

[ResNullius 5]

Above the tab

Then you need to change the co-ordinates of your tab and/or button; both right now are at 30, 30 so naturally they are occupying the same space.

Try changing these two lines as follows:$tab=GUICtrlCreateTab(30,50,500,455); Added a tab window here. This will cover the button up.

$btn1 = IconButton("Help", 30, 10, 70, 32, 23)

This does not solve my problem. I want the button on top of the tab window. I have several tab windows, and I want to put some buttons on top of each of the tab windows.

The button is still hidden....

The button is still hidden....

I solved only your Tab issue.

There is some problem with proposed IconButton() function.

[Zedna 137]

Try this and you will see there is some problem in IconButton()

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$mywin = GUICreate("my gui",600,500)
$tab=GUICtrlCreateTab(30,30,500,455); Added a tab window here. This will cover the button up.
$tab1=GUICtrlCreateTabitem ("tab1")
$btn1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Help1", 30, 60, 70, 32)
;~ $btn1 = IconButton("Help1", 30, 60, 70, 32, 23)
$tab2=GUICtrlCreateTabitem ("tab2")
$btn2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Help2", 30, 100, 70, 32)
;~ $btn2 = IconButton("Help2", 30, 100, 70, 32, 23)
GUICtrlCreateTabitem (""); end tabitem definition
GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $btn1 Then MsgBox(0,0,"You pressed the Icon Button  ", 2)
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
WEnd

Func IconButton($BItext, $BIleft, $BItop, $BIwidth, $BIheight, $BIconNum, $BIDLL = "shell32.dll")
    GUICtrlCreateIcon($BIDLL, $BIconNum, $BIleft + 5, $BItop + (($BIheight - 16) / 2), 16, 16)
    GUICtrlSetState( -1, $GUI_DISABLE)
    $XS_btnx = GUICtrlCreateButton($BItext, $BIleft, $BItop, $BIwidth, $BIheight, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)
    Return $XS_btnx
EndFunc

Without Tabs it's working OK:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$mywin = GUICreate("my gui",600,500)
$btn1 = IconButton("Help1", 30, 60, 70, 32, 23)
GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $btn1 Then MsgBox(0,0,"You pressed the Icon Button  ", 2)
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
WEnd

Func IconButton($BItext, $BIleft, $BItop, $BIwidth, $BIheight, $BIconNum, $BIDLL = "shell32.dll")
    GUICtrlCreateIcon($BIDLL, $BIconNum, $BIleft + 5, $BItop + (($BIheight - 16) / 2), 16, 16)
    GUICtrlSetState( -1, $GUI_DISABLE)
    $XS_btnx = GUICtrlCreateButton($BItext, $BIleft, $BItop, $BIwidth, $BIheight, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)
    Return $XS_btnx
EndFunc

I don't know how to fix this.

Maybe use STM_SETIMAGE message, see my post
