Radio buttons and tab controls

[covaks]

I'm having a problem with a prog I'm working on. I've re-created the problem below. When I hide radio button controls on a tab item, then show them with a combobox selection, they appear greyed out.. I have to click on another tab, and click back to have them not grayed out.

So, run the program. then click on the Combobox and choose Test2. At that point the 2 radio buttons below will be become visible, but they are grayed out. I have to click on the second tab, then click back so I can use them. Am I doing something wrong?

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

GuiCreate("Test")
GUICtrlCreateTab(1,1)
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab1")

$Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("",5,30,50)
GUICtrlSetData($Combo1,"Test|Test2","Test")


$Radio1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Radio 1",20,80)
$Radio2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Radio 2",20,100)

GUICtrlSetState($Radio1, $GUI_HIDE)
GUICtrlSetState($Radio2, $GUI_HIDE)

GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab2")


GuiSetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    If $msg = $Combo1 Then
        MyFunc()
    EndIf
    
Wend

Func MyFunc()
    GUICtrlSetState($Radio1, $GUI_SHOW)
    GUICtrlSetState($Radio2, $GUI_SHOW)
EndFunc

Thank you for the response. When I run it now, it is not grayed out at first. however, if I switch to tab2 first, then back to 1, then bring up the combobox and select Test2 to show the radio buttons, they are grayed out again. And I again have to cycle the tabs to get it back.

Is there a logic to this that I'm not seeing?

I modified it a bit so it more accurately reflects what I'm trying to do in my main program.

Hi,

Try this:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
GuiCreate("Test")
GUICtrlCreateTab(1,1)
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab1")

$Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("",5,30,50)
GUICtrlSetData($Combo1,"Test|Test2","Test")


$Radio1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Radio 1",20,80)
$Radio2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Radio 2",20,100)

GUICtrlSetState($Radio1, $GUI_HIDE)
GUICtrlSetState($Radio2, $GUI_HIDE)

GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab2")

GuiSetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    If $msg = $Combo1 Then
        MyFunc()
    EndIf
    
Wend

Func MyFunc()
    If GUICtrlRead($Combo1) == "Test2" Then
        GUICtrlSetState($Radio1, $GUI_SHOW+$GUI_ENABLE)
        GUICtrlSetState($Radio2, $GUI_SHOW+$GUI_ENABLE)
    Else
        GUICtrlSetState($Radio1, $GUI_HIDE)
        GUICtrlSetState($Radio2, $GUI_HIDE)
    EndIf

But it happens only if we create a second tab.

I can confirm, looks like a bug to me (WinXP Home SP2). Should maybe make an official report (don't just link to this thread, make sure to include some system details), in the meantime MsCreator's workaround should work.

Thanks everyone. :-) I made a bug report as suggested.

And thank you MsCreatoR, that worked perfect. :-)

Not sure it's a bug at all. It seems to me it's doing what you told it to. It showing/hiding the control. It's up to you to enable/disable it. I use several tabs with radio controls and I don't have the problem. What happens when you change

GUICtrlSetData($Combo1,"Test|Test2","Test")

to

GUICtrlSetData($Combo1,"Test|Test2")

I also never use the constants so that may have something to do with it. The values would be

GUICtrlSetState($Radio1, $GUI_HIDE) = GUICtrlSetState($Radio1, 160) ;; hidden and disabled

GUICtrlSetState($Radio1, $GUI_SHOW) = GUICtrlSetState($Radio1, 80) ;; Showing and enabled.

Also to avoid flicker is to use code like

If GUIGetState($Radio1) < 80 Then GUICtrlSetState($Radio1, 80)

In other words, check the state before you change it.

Tab definition closing

GUICtrlCreateTabitem ("")

is missing in your code.

Follow the manual and the problem is gone. Wonders of the world...

Interesting. I have never yet closed my tabs. I do however place my radio controls within groups and close the groups.

Actually, it does not fix the problem.

*Edit: To clarify, follow these steps exactly:

1) Grab the script from post #3 and run it.

2) Select Tab2

3) Select Tab1

4) Change the combo box to Test2

> The two radio controls should appear - but they are disabled.

5) Select Tab2

6) Select Tab1

> The previously disabled radio controls should now be enabled.

To repeat the bug, select Test from the combobox then continue from step 2.

If i "say" Show the control, control should be shown, not disabled as well.

The same with CheckBox don't "work":

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

$GUI = GUICreate("Test")

GUICtrlCreateTab(1, 1)

GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab 1")

$CheckBox = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("CheckBox", 20, 80)
GUICtrlSetState($CheckBox, $GUI_HIDE)

GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab 2")

GuiSetState()

GUICtrlSetState($CheckBox, $GUI_SHOW)
MsgBox(64, "", "CheckBox is Enabled = " & ControlCommand($GUI, "", $CheckBox, "IsEnabled"))

While GUIGetMsg() <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Wend

So it must be something with mixing tabs and radio..
