Here is new script. It is neccessary to catch WM_NCPAINT and do drawing there. Coordinates are issue again. #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> #include <WinAPITheme.au3> #include "GUIDarkMode_v0.02mod.au3" #include "ModernMenuRaw.au3" #include <GuiMenu.au3> #include <Array.au3> #include <WinAPIDiag.au3> #include <WinAPIConv.au3> #include <WinAPIGdiDC.au3> ;~ DllCall("User32.dll", "bool", "SetProcessDpiAwarenessContext", "HWND", "DPI_AWARENESS_CONTEXT" - 4) _SetMenuBkColor(0x202020) _SetMenuIconBkColor(0x202020) _SetMenuIconBkGrdColor(0x202020) _SetMenuSelectBkColor(0x202020) _SetMenuSelectRectColor(0x202020) _SetMenuSelectTextColor(0xFFFFFF) _SetMenuTextColor(0xFFFFFF) Example() Func Example() $hGUI = GUICreate("My GUI", 300, 200) ;Local $idFileMenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&File") Local $idFileMenu = _GUICtrlCreateODTopMenu("&File", $hGUI) GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("&Open", $idFileMenu) GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("&Save", $idFileMenu) GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("", $idFileMenu) Local $idOptionsMenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("O&ptions", $idFileMenu) GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("View", $idOptionsMenu) GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("", $idOptionsMenu) GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Tools", $idOptionsMenu) GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("", $idFileMenu) Local $idExitItem = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("&Exit", $idFileMenu) ;Local $idHelpMenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("&?")

That line needs to be redrawn even on restore from minimize state. Once you find out when an update is neccessary you draw the line again.

Here is initial version. Coordinates are wrong.

Are you willing to share code?

What is FF when converted to decimal? You have minimum of zero in hexadecimal that matches 0 in dec. You also have FF in hexadecimal that matches to what in decimal? Then map (0,100) in decimal to (0,FF) afte you have converted it to decimal.

Can you share the code that works where you set text color of an edit box inside AutoIt's GUI?

Can you try creating an edit box within your GUI? Then try to apply those functions to your edit box.

What about sqlite database? You can have table names with prefixes or sufixes, ie. Calcultor_perApp, Class1_perClass, OtherClass_perClass. You can embed needed dll into script and load it from memory without writing to disk anything if the licence permits it.

Hi, I have no experinece with virtaul desktops but it is advisable to post runnable code. That way somenone trying to help you has to do a lot less work.

What happens if you use windows title? Show the code you are using. It might be easier someone to help you that way. If you copy handle from AutoIt info tool are you able to get any data for window?

Here are my results on Win 10.

What about Subrogation? You can embed your dll file in your include script and load it from memory?

Then most probably solution from @Dan_555 will work for you.

Hi, do you need something like following #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> Example() Func Example() Global $sPreviousSelection="";new variable that holds info about last selection ; Create a GUI with various controls. Local $hGUI = GUICreate("Example", 300, 200) ; Create a combobox control. Local $idComboBox = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Item 1", 10, 10, 185, 20) Local $idButton_Close = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 210, 170, 85, 25) ; Add additional items to the combobox. GUICtrlSetData($idComboBox, "Item 2|Item 3", "Item 2") ; Display the GUI. GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI) Local $sComboRead = "" ; Loop until the user exits. $sPreviousSelection=GUICtrlRead($idComboBox);update variable with the currently selected item While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $idButton_Close ExitLoop Case $idComboBox $sComboRead = GUICtrlRead($idComboBox) ;MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "The combobox is currently displaying: " & $sComboRead, 0, $hGUI) If $sComboRead<>$sPreviousSelection Then MsgBox(0,"Combobox","Selection changed") $sPreviousSelection=$sComboRead EndIf EndSwitch WEnd ; Delete the previous GUI and all controls. GUIDelete($hGUI) EndFunc ;==>Example When you ask for help it would be good to post runnable code.

There is GUICtrlSetState function.
