A warning for GUICtrlSetBkColor() users

[amokoura]

By using GUICtrlSetBkColor() on a button causes it to catch enter key.

More info: http://svn.autoitscript.com/trac/ticket/376

Note: Bug appears only in 3.2.12.x

Looks like this behaviour might be a by-product of trying to fix an old (unfixable?) bug...

The example I posted there now seems to work the way it should , but obviously now has the problem you pointed out

Only if you have the one button. If you do this the effect disappears.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
GUICreate("Form1", 166, 189, 234, 191)
GUICtrlCreateInput("Input1", 16, 8, 121, 21)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 16, 40, 123, 25, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) 
GUICtrlSetBkColor($Button1, 0x00ff00)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 16, -140, 123, 25, 0);out of view

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE 
            Exit
        Case $Button1 
            MsgBox(0, "", "button1 triggered")
        Case $Button2
            MsgBox(0, "", "button2 triggered")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Only if you have the one button.

With the latest version (3.2.12.1) that trick doesn't help.

My GUI app was running nicely with 3.2.10.0 and colored buttons.

After I updated to the latest the enter catching bug appeared.

Funny. The bugfix was too effective that time

Coloured buttons swallow every keyboard input in future versions!
