Window title bar problem

[Champak]

Please tell me why my window title bar look like this:

I would like it to look the normal way like this:

Note, if it is needed, my guicreate looks like:

$GUIMain = GUICreate($Title, $GUIWidth, $GUIHeight, $GUIXPOS, $GUIYPOS)
GUICtrlCreatePic($Pic4, 375, 70, 230, 207, $WS_EX_LAYERED)

There is nothing wrong in the code you posted so there is something else further in. Did you possible use a GUISetStyle() statement when you meant to use GUICtrlSetStyle()?

[Champak]

There is no style setting on my GUIs or the elements. The only thing I've done was make my labels transparent, and change the font type.

What do you get when you run this?

$Frm1 = GUICreate("My GUI", 200, 100)
GUISetState()
While 1
   If GUIGetMsg() = -3 Then Exit
Wend

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
GUICreate("Title")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
   $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
      Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
         GUIDelete()
         Exit
   EndSelect
WEnd

Works here without any problem.

That shows fine. I guess it's something deep inside the coding. Before I go through a search of the script, can coding period affect the way the GUI looks, or will it strictly be some type of GUI styling or effects somewhere....even though I don't see any?

Note: I have multiple GUIs in this script if that matters.

Now lets analyze the difference between your posted code and mine.

You didn't set gui size I did but that makes 0 difference

You used a select statement for the GUIGetMsg() for the sake of a single case I used If GUGetMsg =

You used GUISetState (@SW_SHOW) I used GUISetState() because @SW_SHOW is the default.

You #included (depending on AutoIt version) from 69 to 649 constants so that you could use 1 I just used the value of that single constant that was to be used which is -3

You used GUIDelete() I didn't. Because I can guarantee you that the GUI is deleted when the script exits.

You used 11 lines of code (plus the constants count) to replace my 5 lines

Both your method and mine do exactly the same thing.

Start by searching your code for any line that includes the text "SetStyle"

Found it.

DllCall("uxtheme.dll", "none", "SetThemeAppProperties", "int", 0)

But I know I put it in there for a reason, but can't remember why. I guess I just have to wait until something fails to see why I had it there.
