GuiCtrlSetColor on buttons...

[CyberSlug]

GUICtrlSetColor returns a "success" value for the button control, but the text did not change color

GuiCreate("ExampleFoo")
$button = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Should be red", 10, 10, 100, 100)
$returnVal = GUICtrlSetColor($button, 0xFF0000)

WinSetTitle("ExampleFoo","","Return value == " & $returnVal)
GuiSetState()
While GuiGetMsg() <> -3
WEnd

true but we cannot paint it as stated in Windows API doc

Buttons with the BS_PUSHBUTTON, BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON, or BS_PUSHLIKE styles do not use the returned brush.

I will correct the return

Does this mean that it is not possible to use colored buttons with AutoGui?

I like colors!

I like colors too but in autoit we do not reimplement windows API. So we cannot find one to do what we want we stay with what we found.

In this specific case the API we are using does not allow to paint button text.
