Question - Buttons...

[Drew]

Alright. I'm trying to put some buttons on my GUI. Thats cool and all but...

When testing the form , I can't PRESS the buttons. They show up , their there , blah... But I can't press them. I was thinking maybe this was because the buttons don't have anything assigned to them yet...

So I assigned a simple MsgBox to pop up when its pressed like this:

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Button2
            MsgBox( 0, "Yep", "Works")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Unless I assigned the button wrong, dont think I did, I can't understand why I cannot press the button. Because the button doesn't sink in , what normally happens when you press a button... nor does it trigger the MsgBox.

Help Please =(

Do you happen to have GUIOnEventMode set?

Alright. Through trial and error I've come to the conclusion your not able to have a button on top of a pic?

Well , I resized the pic and moved the buttons off , just changing the color of the form to black ( to match the background of the pic ) so visually theres no difference.

HOWEVER... Now I can't make my buttons black. The color of the text changes fine , olive or w/e , but I want the button itself to be black. And It won't work.

Someone once said something about it being XP and having to have something with it? Idk. They didn't elaborate much.

Here's my GUI script: More info on what on I'm trying to do will follow it

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 476, 513, 204, 122)
GUISetBkColor(0x000000)
$Pic1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("C:\Documents and Settings\Dreu\Desktop\GUI_Images\Skull.JPG", 8, 0, 481, 401, BitOR($SS_NOTIFY,$WS_GROUP,$WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))
$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("D2War Installer V1.0.0", 16, 480, 166, 25)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 800, 2, "Palatino Linotype")
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x808000)
$Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("By: Dreu ( Aka Veteran )", 288, 480, 177, 25)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 800, 2, "Palatino Linotype")
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x808000)
$ReadMe = GUICtrlCreateButton("Read Me", 192, 416, 113, 25, 0)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 800, 2, "Palatino Linotype")
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x808000)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $ReadMe
            MsgBox( 0, "Yep", "Works")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

You'll can't see my image because you'll don't have the .bmp , but it takes up the upper 4/5's of the GUI. The buttons will make up the bottom fifth of the frame.

I have the background set to black , and I want my buttons black too. I want the text on them olive. I've got a STATICEDGE on the buttons that make them look pretty cool. But one problem , after doing all those options to the buttons.

THE BUTTONS WONT TURN BLACK >.<

Maybe you can't have black buttons on a black background? Idk. I'm running out of troubleshooting ideas. Please help if you can. Thanks,

Add after the button GUICtrlSetbkColor(-1, 0x808000)

Wewt. Your example worked perfectly ( except 0x808000 = olive , I needed black )

But by putting the wrong color I had to take the time to learn WHY I had to do that NOT just copy and paste.

Thank you for your time and help

If you want to have a picture as a background you must disable it, or else all clicks go to the picture!!
