Embed Custom Button In External Program

[Bill44th]

I'm trying to embed my own custom button (created by autoit) into an existing program (not made by autoit). Then I want to launch some function from autoit when it is pressed. Does anyone know how to do that?

I can embed the button, for instance, using:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiButton.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Run("c:\program files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe")
WinWaitActive("Mozilla","")
$foxHdl = WinGetHandle("Mozilla","")
$btn1 = _GUICtrlButton_Create($foxHdl, "Check1", 50, 20, 100, 50, $BS_PUSHLIKE)

While 1
 $msg=GUIGetMsg()
 Select
    case $msg = $btn1
        MsgBox(0,0,"Test worked")
    case Else
 EndSelect
WEnd
Exit

The button will show up, but doesn't seem to respond to me clicking it. I won't actually be embedding the button in to firefox...just using that as an example. I've tried searching the forum...but I can't find any info one my problem with the keywords I've been using.

Thanks for your help!

have a look at ANYGUI

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=9517

seems to be no longer updated by the author 'quaizywabbit',

but 'Volly' has done one update.

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...mp;#entry515205

the UDF will need its includes updated.

replace

#include <guiconstants.au3>

#include "guilist.au3"

with

#include <Constants.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#include <GuiListBox.au3>
