GUICtrlCreateIcon and GUICtrlSetState $GUI_DISABLE

[HeidiR]

Hi All,

I am creating an icon control with the code below:

CODE

$ICON = GUICtrlCreateIcon(test.exe", -6, 946, 686)

Then trying to disable the control and make the icon gray with the code below:

CODE

GUICtrlSetState($ICON, $GUI_DISABLE)

The control become disabled as expected, but does not turn gray. Is this normal or am I missing something?

No need tu use $GUI_DISABLE, what you want is ControlDisable(),read about in help file.

Thanks for you quick response. I tried ControlDisable() but received the same results as with GUICtrlSetState($ICON, $GUI_DISABLE). Maybe, graying-out a control only works for built-in Windows controls and not images you supply?

Yes. If you want to change the icon's color, you need a new icon or some sort of graphics overlay.

Thanks for the confirmation!
