Icon not showing up if created after GuiSetState()

[momar33]

If try to create an icon after GuiSetState() it doesn't show up.

Here is some code: (you may have to change the exe being used)

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Global $button[6]
Global $icon[6]

$GUI = GUICreate("My GUI")
$icon1 = GUICtrlCreateIcon("shell32.dll" , 4,4,4,16,16)
;GUICtrlSetImage (-1, "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe")


GUISetState()

$icon2 = GUICtrlCreateIcon("",Default,32,4,16,16)
GUICtrlSetImage (-1, "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\ccleaner.exe")
GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_SHOW)


While 1
    $m = GUIGetMsg()
  
    If $m = -3 then Exit
WEnd

I did discover that if I set the file name to "shell32.dll" first then change the image it works fine, but i would prefer to not have to set the filename first.

I discovered that with an app I made to draw a graphic. If you use GUICtrlSetGraphic($ControlID,"blah","blah") after GuiSetState then it won't work...

Examples:

Won't show the graphic:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
GUICreate("Form1", 288, 299, 241, 122)
$Graphic = GUICtrlCreateGraphic(0, 0, 281, 297)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
GUICtrlSetGraphic($Graphic,$GUI_GR_LINE,281,297)
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Will show the graphic:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
GUICreate("Form1", 288, 299, 241, 122)
$Graphic = GUICtrlCreateGraphic(0, 0, 281, 297)
GUICtrlSetGraphic($Graphic,$GUI_GR_LINE,281,297)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Now this will only show the graphic that was underneath the splashtext

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
GUICreate("Form1", 288, 299, 241, 122)
$Graphic = GUICtrlCreateGraphic(0, 0, 281, 297)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

SplashTextOn("","splash text",200,200,-1,-1,1)
Sleep(700)
GUICtrlSetGraphic($Graphic,$GUI_GR_LINE,281,297)
SplashOff()
While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

If try to create an icon after GuiSetState() it doesn't show up.

May I ask why you want to do it this way?

Anyways, can you do this instead?

$icon1 = GUICtrlCreateIcon("shell32.dll" , 4,4,4,16,16)
;GUICtrlSetImage (-1, "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe")
$icon2 = GUICtrlCreateIcon("",Default,32,4,16,16)
$icon3 = GUICtrlCreateIcon("",Default,60,4,16,16)

GUISetState()

GUICtrlSetImage ($icon2, "notepad.exe")
GUICtrlSetState($icon2, $GUI_SHOW)

GUICtrlSetImage ($icon3, "calc.exe")
GUICtrlSetState($icon3, $GUI_SHOW)

From the AutoIt manual page for GUICtrlCreateIcon ..

"To update the icon after the dialog box is displayed use GUICtrlSetImage"
