Button on Graphic

[Lars]

Hi,

I've searched the forum couldn't find a topic about this.

In the code below I place a button on top of a graphic, the button doesn't work but shows

How come?

tnx. Lars

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("LOL Form", 250, 150, -1, -1)
$menu = GUICtrlCreateGraphic(25, 25, 200, 100)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xBBBBBB)
$ButTest = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 75, 67, 100, 25, 0)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1 ; The main loop
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
            
        Case $ButTest
            MsgBox(0, "", "It works")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Lars,

From the Help file: "If overlap is needed it is important to disable the graphic control : GuiCtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE).

Just add that line to your script and the button will work.

Yes, disable it, but also clipsiblings

CODE

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("LOL Form", 250, 150, -1, -1)
$menu = GUICtrlCreateGraphic(25, 25, 200, 100,$WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)
guictrlsetstate(-1,@SW_DISABLE)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xBBBBBB)
$ButTest = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 75, 67, 100, 25, 0)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1; The main loop
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
            
        Case $ButTest
            MsgBox(0, "", "It works")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

picea892,

Just disabling the graphic will get the button to work - and I did test it! ;-)

I apologize Melba.

My Guictrlsetstate diabled was incorrect.

Regardless there are two methods

Either use clipsibling or disable.
