Read button color

[Vladi243 0]

Hi

I made that the button will change its color on click. Now I want to make a script that read the color of the button.

I search a lot in the help file, and didn't find any function that read the color of the button.

Can you help me with it?

Will PixelGetColor ( x , y [, hwnd] ) help you out here?

I saw this function in the help file, but it's not effective because the GUI can be moved.

If it's your button, just save the color to a variable

I can't understand how it helps me to read the color of the button. The color always changes.

when you click the button and it changes colors, also have it save to a variable, like above. like this:

$button = guictrlcreatebutton("", 20,20,20,20)
guictrlsetbkcolor(-1,"0xFF0000")

while 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $button
            $color = ;the color here
                        Guictrlsetbkcolor($button,$color)
    EndSwitch
wend

that way, you can call $color somewhere else, and thats the color of the button

You should be able to link it directly to the control using PixelCoordMode linked up with the client and then you should be able to find the button

Can we see the code work I can better explain it to you

I know how to change the color.

I need a function that reads the current color of the button.

Sorry I can't show my code.

YOU have made a button. YOU made, that it changes it's color.

So, ON CHANGING the color SAVE it to a variable at this time, and when you want to know the color, READ the variable !!

Then I cannot help you then if you won't show us your code. Anyways he is trying to find the color of the button aside from the color changing function. In other words they are two seperate functions and he doesn't want to carry the functions colorchange with it so he must find the color entirely, am I right? In other words you must use PixelGetColor but there is a way to follow the scroll or whatever makes the function move those making it impossible for us to help him out by not giving us the codework behind it all

have it so when you click the button, it calls this function...

Func:

Func GuiCtrlGetColor()
    $a=GUIGetCursorInfo()
    $color = PixelGetColor($a[0],$a[1])
EndFunc

Func:

Func GuiCtrlGetColor()
    $a=GUIGetCursorInfo()
    $color = PixelGetColor($a[0],$a[1])
EndFunc

It's much better.

Thanks to all who helped me
