change color of background when cursor is over a group

[Cdma1X]

hi, i want to change the background color of a Group when cursor is over it.

similar to GuiCtrlSetCursor() but a bit different.

in this case i want to change color not cursor.

i think this image can show the difference and example of what i want.

you can see that one group[1] have no background color but another[2] one have.

i just want that when the cursor will come over a group then it should change it's background color as in the test image.

can you help me?

Thanks.

Hmmm, mayby you soould take a look at ControlFocus and ControlGetFocus.

Some rough thoughts:

If ControlGetFocus("[TITLE:Test;CLASS:Group2]") = True Then
GUICtrlSetBkColor()

I think it gets the focus only when you click an item in that group, not by hovering over it, but I'm not 100% sure.

Definitely a Nice2Have if it's possible somehow.

Yeah, thought the same. Realy nice if anyone could make this work

You could easily have a yellow border around the group instead of a yellow background by setting a large label to be visible or not.

Thanks.

Should it be sth like this?

#include <WinApi.au3>
#include <GUIconstants.au3>
GUICreate("")
$lbl = GUICtrlCreateLabel("",10,10,200,200)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1,0xffff00)
GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_HIDE+$GUI_DISABLE)
GUICtrlCreateButton("FRF",30,30)
GUICtrlCreateGroup("hhh",10,10,200,200)
GUISetState()

While 1
    Sleep(50)
    
    $rect = _WinAPI_GetWindowRect(GUICtrlGetHandle($lbl))
    $pos = _WinAPI_GetMousePos()
     ConsoleWrite("!!" & @CRLF)
    If _WinAPI_PtInRect($rect,$pos) Then 
        If BitAND(GUICtrlGetState($lbl),$GUI_HIDE) Then GUICtrlSetState($lbl,$GUI_SHOW)
    Else
        If BitAND(GUICtrlGetState($lbl),$GUI_SHOW) Then GUICtrlSetState($lbl,$GUI_HIDE)
    EndIf
WEnd

Exactly!!

Awesome, thanks mate!

That works very nicely.

You could have the group caption background change as well.

#include <WinApi.au3>
#include <GUIconstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>

GUICreate("")
$lbl = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 10, 10, 200, 200)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xffff00)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_HIDE + $GUI_DISABLE)
GUICtrlCreateButton("FRF", 30, 30)
$group1 = GUICtrlCreateGroup("hhh", 10, 10, 200, 200)
GUISetState()
$bkcol = PixelGetColor(4, 30)

While 1
    Sleep(50)

    $rect = _WinAPI_GetWindowRect(GUICtrlGetHandle($lbl))
    $pos = _WinAPI_GetMousePos()
;ConsoleWrite("!!" & @CRLF)
    If _WinAPI_PtInRect($rect, $pos) Then
        If BitAND(GUICtrlGetState($lbl), $GUI_HIDE) Then
            GUICtrlSetState($lbl, $GUI_SHOW)
            GUICtrlSetBkColor($group1, 0xffff00)
        EndIf
    Else
        If BitAND(GUICtrlGetState($lbl), $GUI_SHOW) Then
            GUICtrlSetState($lbl, $GUI_HIDE)
            GUICtrlSetBkColor($group1, $bkcol)
        EndIf
    EndIf
WEnd

Use

$lbl = GuiCtrlCreatePic(....

Make sure you still disable it. Actually the state settings should be

GUICtrlSetState($lbl, $GUI_HIDE)

and

GUICtrlSetState($lbl, BitOr( $GUI_SHOW, $GUI_DISABLE))
