XSkinGUICreate() conflicts with MsCreators Hovering function

[AustrianOak]

When using Mscreators hovering UDF and XSkinGUICreate() function i noticed that the images that were set with "hovering properties" flickered constantly when I would hold the mouse down on the images and not release it.

Note: It DID NOT flicker when hovering but when I pressed down on the image.

What's strange is everything works perfectly when I just do a GUICreate() instead of XSkinGUICreate()

I am wondering what is the fix to this and I really need help as I do not have a clue as to why XSkinGUICreate() and the hovering UDF do not "get along" with eachother.

Can someone help me?

Show a usable example of what you have, i will try to see what is causing the flickering.

Here's a usable example, all you have to do is assign the variables to your own images:

expandcollapse popup

#Region;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Version=Beta
#EndRegion;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****

#Include <XSkin.au3>
#Include <GUIConstants.au3>
#Include <Misc.au3>
#Include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Include <GUICtrlSetOnHover_UDF.au3>


Global $Gui
Global $Clicked = False
Global $Skin_Folder = @ScriptDir & "\Skin\Test"

; Create the GUI

$Gui = XSkinGUICreate("", 215, 215, $Skin_Folder)

$Icon1 = GUICtrlCreatePic($close1, 186, 3, 23, 16)
_GUICtrlSetOnHover(-1, "Hover_Func", "Leave_Hover_Func", "PrimaryDown_Func", "PrimaryUp_Func")
$Icon2 = GUICtrlCreatePic($minimize1, 162, 3, 23, 16)
_GUICtrlSetOnHover(-1, "Hover_Func", "Leave_Hover_Func", "PrimaryDown_Func", "PrimaryUp_Func")
GUISetState()


GUISetState()

While 1 
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()

    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_Event_Close
            Exit 0
    EndSelect

    If $Clicked Then
        $Clicked = False
        Exit
    EndIf
WEnd

Func Hover_Func($iCtrlID)
    Switch $iCtrlID
        Case $Icon1
            GUICtrlSetImage($iCtrlID, $close2)
        Case $Icon2
            GUICtrlSetImage($iCtrlID, $minimize2)
    EndSwitch
EndFunc

Func Leave_Hover_Func($iCtrlID)
    Switch $iCtrlID
        Case $Icon1
            GUICtrlSetImage($iCtrlID, $close1)
        Case $Icon2
            GUICtrlSetImage($iCtrlID, $minimize1)
    EndSwitch
EndFunc

Func PrimaryDown_Func($iCtrlID)
    Switch $iCtrlID
        Case $Icon1
            GUICtrlSetImage($iCtrlID, $close3)
        Case $Icon2
            GUICtrlSetImage($iCtrlID, $minimize3)
    EndSwitch
EndFunc

Func PrimaryUp_Func($iCtrlID)
    Switch $iCtrlID
        Case $Icon1
            GUICtrlSetImage($iCtrlID, $close1)
            $Clicked = True
        Case $Icon2
            GUICtrlSetImage($iCtrlID, $minimize1)
    EndSwitch
EndFunc

all you have to do is assign the variables to your own images

And download the XSkin, include StaticConstants.au3, ButtonConstants.au3, rearange other includes, declare $close1..2..3 and $minimize1..2..3.

This what i call «unusable example» .

About the flickering, it's because you set an image over and over every time the PrimaryDown_Func() is called (while you keep holding the mouse button down). You can check if the image already set...

.....
Global $iImage_1_IsSet = False
Global $iImage_2_IsSet = False

.....

Func PrimaryDown_Func($iCtrlID)
    Switch $iCtrlID
        Case $Icon1
            If Not $iImage_1_IsSet Then GUICtrlSetImage($iCtrlID, $close3)
            $iImage_1_IsSet = True
        Case $Icon2
            If Not $iImage_2_IsSet Then GUICtrlSetImage($iCtrlID, $minimize3)
            $iImage_2_IsSet = True
    EndSwitch
EndFunc

Your above code works once, then it doesn't work again. When I hold my mouse down on the button and then move it off while still down, and then release it, when I move my mouse back to it, to press it down again, the image isn't set like it was the first time.

Ok, instead of my above method, just open «GUICtrlSetOnHover_UDF.au3» and find this line (116) :

If $aCursorInfo[2] = 1 And $aHOVER_CONTROLS_ARRAY[$i][3] <> -1 Then

Now replace it with this:

If $aCursorInfo[2] = 1 And $aHOVER_CONTROLS_ARRAY[$i][3] <> -1 And $iCheck_LCEM <> $iControlGetHovered Then

But in this case the OnPrimaryDown function will be called just once, therefore while you holding mouse button down and trying to move it to the other controls, then for the new hovered control the OnPrimaryDown function will be not called, only after you release the mouse button.

Ahh...works perfect now!

thanks for taking some time aside to help me with my problem!
