Does GUICtrlSetOnEvent works with Picture Control?

[JohnWang]

Hi,

This must be very simple but I just can't figure it out.

Does GUICtrlSetOnEvent works with Picture Control? I already set the OnEventMode to 1, If it does work, where did I do wrong in my code? Any Help is appreciated.

No, you see this is wrong:

GUICtrlCreatePic("Botton ImageHolder.jpg",5,5,15,30)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN,"StartMenu")

GUICtrlSetOnEvent requires a control ID as first parameter. $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN is a constant. It is returned byGUIGetMsg() for example.

So, the 'event' that would trigger the StartMenu() function is a click on the pic control. This is how it works:

GUICtrlCreatePic("Botton ImageHolder.jpg",5,5,15,30)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1,"StartMenu")

Oops, that was my trial and error while I was looking at the scripts on the froum seeing if I can figure it out before having to ask. It should be like the second example posted, but as you can see with my other GuiCtrlSetOnEvents, I tried it already and it doesn't work.

You need to use GUIGetCursor to interact with it.

There is GUIGetCursorInfo, I don't see GUiGetCursor in the help file, also isn't it a hassle having to compare the mouse coordinates to find out which botton I am clicking... is there easier solution? Edited November 11, 2007 by JohnWang

My mistake, here is the logic by using GUIGetCursorInfo

If the Mouse is over the picture control, and Left mouse button is clicked, event happen, just pull a loop to check that.

I think it won't work the way you're doing it because of a misunderstanding of what the code is doing.

When you say

GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1,"StartMenu")

it doesn't mean that the last control will be used to run the fiunction "StartMenu", it means when the event -1 occurs it will run the startMenu function.

What you have to do is use the ID of the control, and to get that assign a variable to it like this

$Pic1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("Botton ImageHolder.jpg",5,5,15,30)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Pic1,"StartMenu")

No, the -1 approach should work, it refers to last created control. *Edit: For most controls anyway, doesn't work with Menu controls.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Opt('GUIOnEventMode', 1)
$gui = GUICreate('', 200, 200)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, '_Exit')
GUICtrlCreateButton('Hi', 5, 5, 50, 20)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, '_Button')
GUICtrlCreatePic('C:\windows\winnt.bmp', 5, 30, 100, 100)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, '_Picture')
GUISetState()

While 1
WEnd

Func _Button()
    MsgBox(0, '', 'Button pushed.')
EndFunc

Func _Picture()
    MsgBox(0, '', 'Picture clicked.')
EndFunc

Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

$GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN is a GUI event and as such is for use with GUISetOnEvent, not GUICtrlSetOnEvent.

*Note: I can actually run my example, so I know it's working fine. What version of AutoIt are you running? I have 3.2.9.9.

Woah, that's weird, your code works just fine on my machine as well....d*mn, I hate these kind of errors, now I have to look at all the codes more carefully and completely just to figure out what went wrong. Thank you so much, at least now I know it's my fault and it should be working.

EDIT: Alright Guys, thank you very much for the help, I have figure out what went wrong, GuiCtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE) was needed on the picture which I had set as background to prevent the two picture controls from overlaping.
