Can set a button's background color, but cannot retrieve the button's background color

[Sycamore]

GUICtrlCreateButton("", $xstart, $ystart, 10, 10)

If FileExists(blahblahblah.txt) Then

GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1,0xff0000) ; this part sets the color just fine

Else

GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1,0x00ff00)

EndIf

GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1,"ColorQuery")

func colorquery()

this is where I haven't got a clue - i've searched and searched, and it seems like nothing is available to tell me the color

of a control.

I set the color with one simple command, so I was hoping I could retrieve the color with one simple command.

Set the colour to a variable and access it later.

Thanks! That kinda points me in the direction I thought I'd have to go...

outback southeast of Alice Springs... I'm having great fun - I really love AutoIT - and if my brain starts to

melt it's my own fault...I've been at this 12-18 hours a day for at least a week...
