Hey, TLDR; Take Image from dll File, rotate as needed, Put into Button Control I want to use Icons from shell32 and Put them into Buttons as Images. So far so easy, Buttons are created with Style BS_ICON and the Image ist set via guictrlsetimage with specific identifier. But the Idea is to use arrows or other Icons from the shell32.dll or different files, but rotating them as needed for the Button controls. Since the Rotation has to be done at runtime, creating the icons in advance wont work. I got a bit lost, using GDI Plus in this. Every attemp i tried, failed in No Icon displayed. But i am not used to GDI Plus at all, that might be the Problem here. When i have access to the current source, i will add this to the topic. Any ideas so far how to solve this? Greetings.

This roundup of "virtual keyboards" (https://www.buttoncommander.com/en/input-devices/difference-between-hotkeyboard-devices-and-keyboard-devices/) inspired me to create this simple "LaunchPad" script. with this script you can easily create panels with buttons for starting programs, but not only, you can also associate macros, shortcuts, functions with the buttons ... In short, the $aTools 2D array contains the settings that determine the behavior of each "Button", namely 4 parameters for each row (for each button); [n][0] the tooltip of the button [n][1] path of an icon or a file containing icons [n][2] the number of the icon (if the previous parameter is a collection) [n][3] AutoIt command(s) to be executed directly on button click (or also the name of a function) (see the script for some examples of use) If you have ideas for new records for that array you are encouraged to post it here (thanks) You can easily change the buttons dimensions and the shape of the initial deck by changing the $iStep and $iNrPerLine variables in the script (deck is resizeable as well) Credits: This script makes use of some useful snippets kindly provided by @KaFu, @Danyfirex and @mikell (see the comments in the script for references) Tips (or ready made modifications) for improvements are as always welcome. have fun ; =============================================================================================================================== ; Title .........: LaunchPad ; Description ...: button deck to be used as an applications launcher (and not only) ; Author(s) .....: Chimp (Gianni Addiego) ; credits to @KaFu, @Danyfirex, @mikell (see comments for references) ; =============================================================================================================================== #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> ; <WinAPISysWin.au3> #include <SendMessage.au3> #include <WinAPIFiles.au3> ;Turn off redirection for a 32-bit script on 64-bit system.

Often I need to create a panel to monitor a lot of things (users, files, items etc) so I use this piece of code to create a dynamic grid of buttons. The number of buttons is variable, and it's related to the size of the gui, the size of the buttons and the distance between buttons. Every "button" is a set of three with a real button stacked on the top of two labels, imagine reading a .CSV file or an array or a database and displaying all the things using the labels (Text and COLOR too) and clickin' on the relative button you can call further info on the item or call a particular function. So you can decide the number of the buttons, the width of the buttons, and also the distance between buttons. It's quick and dirty, simple and very improvable (I know..) so fell free to play with the code. ;TEST ;GOL-Grill ;Grill test/template ; (c) 2019 NSC ; V.0.6 #Region ;************ Includes ************ #include <ButtonConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <EditConstants.au3> #include <ProgressConstants.au3> #include <_GOLLOG.au3>; NSC first UDF #EndRegion ;************ Includes ************ Dim $agButton[1] Global $ButtonU, $rProgress, $form1, $labeltot, $ntotButtonS ; the number of buttons is variable based on the guisize, the button size and button distance, three examples.... ;Global $guiwidth = 850, $guiheight = 500, $buttonW = 150, $buttonHDistance = 10, $buttonVDistance = 20 ; SMALL GUI / BIG BUTTONS <- try it !

Hello to all, my problem is to have in the same gui buttons (static and dinamically generated ones) and an edit control. The gui also adjust its height in function of button number. Below you see an ugly interface and the long buttons at the bottom are dinamically generated reading from a txt file. Because I have "static" buttons and dynamically generated ones it's not workin' well your method, also the EDIT area is updated (is a live log) and this is detected as GUI events, and this makes the guigetmsg() "dirty". Have you any ideas to make it work in better way ? I only think about creating two different GUIs to not interfere one with the other one. My code is this While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE GOLLOG("<<<< STOP <<<<") Exit #cs ; test 1 Case $iStart To $iEnd ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< gollog(GUICtrlRead($nMsg) & ' ' & 'was pressed' & @CRLF) $iValueToWorkWith = $nMsg - $iStart ; Adjust as required gollog($iValueToWorkWith) ;ExitLoop #ce Case $buttonarray[1] To $buttonarray[UBound($buttonarray) - 1] $UMDguimsg = GUICtrlRead($nMsg) If $UMDguimsg <> 0 Then GOLLOG("ButtonText=[" & $UMDguimsg & "] was clicked") EndIf Case $Bcerca If BitAND(GUICtrlRead($idradio1), $GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED Then Multisearch("username-machinedescription") If BitAND(GUICtrlRead($idradio2), $GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED Then Multisearch("machinename-username") ;Multisearch("username-machinedescription") Case $Block lock() Case $Busergroups usergroups() Case $Bvnc VNC() Case $Icercato If BitAND(GUICtrlRead($idradio1), $GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED Then Multisearch("username-machinedescription") If BitAND(GUICtrlRead($idradio2), $GUI_CHECKED) = $GUI_CHECKED Then Multisearch("machinename-username") #CS Multisearch("username-machinedescription") Case Else msgbox(64,"test",GUIGetMsg()) $UMDguimsg = GUICtrlRead(GUIGetMsg()) If $UMDguimsg <> $salvaUMDguimsg Then MsgBox(64, "test2", $UMDguimsg) $salvaUMDguimsg = $UMDguimsg #CE EndIf EndSwitch WEnd Thank you , cheers,

A function is started and creates a GUI with two buttons. If either of those are pressed, the function will return a value, which will be used to start another function. However, only one of those two buttons works. Local $gui = GUICreate("Crypt", 120, 130) Local $button0 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Encrypt", 10, 10, 100, 50) Local $button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Decrypt", 10, 70, 100, 50) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $gui) While 1 If GUIGetMsg() = $button0 Then GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $gui) GUIDelete($gui) Return 1 ElseIf GUIGetMsg() = $button1 Then GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $gui) GUIDelete($gui) Return 2 ElseIf GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $gui) GUIDelete($gui) Return 0 EndIf WEnd The If works as expected, but the two ElseIf don't work at all. No matter how hard or how often I hit that $button1 or click that X in the top-right of the GUI. Maybe I haven't had enough coffee today, who knows, but I'm stuck right now... Thanks - complete source-code is attached _Crypt.au3

Hello, I wanted to know if it was possible to auto-generate buttons from a ini file. The thought was to read the ini and for each value create a button for it.

I'm have a working program that displays the users in Active Directory. When a user's name is clicked on it displays their details (profile folder, work folder, etc). However, what I'd really like to do is be able to eliminate using the mouse as much as possible, so instead of having to click on each user's name, you can use the UP and DOWN arrows and it will act as though their name has been clicked on (if that makes any sense?). Here's some of the code so far: $ADListView = GUICtrlCreateListView("Login Name|Display Name", 140, 60, 220, 280);A ListView to display the users ; Adjust the ADListView column headers _GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($ADListView, 0, 100) _GUICtrlListView_SetColumnWidth($ADListView, 1, 116) Func UpdateUserList() _AD_Open() $SelectedUserType = GUICtrlRead($UserTypeCombo) ;Get the base OU for the user type $SelectedUserTypeBaseOU = IniRead("iniUsers.ini", $SelectedUserType, "BaseOU", "NotFound") ;Get the filtered results from the AD using base OU $ADData = _AD_GetObjectsInOU($SelectedUserTypeBaseOU, "(&(objectclass=user)(name=*))", 2, "sAMAccountName,distinguishedName,displayname", "displayname") GUICtrlSetData($ADListView, $ADData) _GUICtrlListView_DeleteAllItems($ADListView) GUICtrlSetData($UserPropertiesEditBox, "Properties of Selected User") $SelectedUser = "" ;For each AD user, add an item in in the ListView For $i = 1 To UBound($ADData) - 1 GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($ADData[$i][0] & "|" & $ADData[$i][2], $ADListView) GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "ListClicked") ; For each item, add the required event Next _AD_Close() EndFunc ;==>UpdateUserList Func ListClicked() $ItemString = GUICtrlRead(@GUI_CtrlId) $ItemArray = StringSplit($ItemString, "|") $SelectedUser = $ItemArray[1] _AD_Open() $givenName = _AD_GetObjectAttribute($SelectedUser, "givenName") $SN = _AD_GetObjectAttribute($SelectedUser, "SN") $displayName = _AD_GetObjectAttribute($SelectedUser, "displayName") $profilePath = _AD_GetObjectAttribute($SelectedUser, "profilePath") $homeDirectory = _AD_GetObjectAttribute($SelectedUser, "homeDirectory") $homeDrive = _AD_GetObjectAttribute($SelectedUser, "homeDrive") $GroupArray = _AD_GetUserGroups($SelectedUser) GUICtrlSetData($UserPropertiesEditBox, "") _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($UserPropertiesEditBox, "Properties of Selected User") _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($UserPropertiesEditBox, @CRLF & @CRLF & "First Name: " & $givenName) _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($UserPropertiesEditBox, @CRLF & @CRLF & "Last Name: " & $SN) _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($UserPropertiesEditBox, @CRLF & @CRLF & "Login Name: " & $SelectedUser) _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($UserPropertiesEditBox, @CRLF & @CRLF & "Profile Directory: " & $profilePath) _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($UserPropertiesEditBox, @CRLF & @CRLF & "Home Directory: " & $homeDirectory & " (" & $homeDrive & ")") _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($UserPropertiesEditBox, @CRLF & @CRLF & "Group Membership:") For $i = 1 To UBound($GroupArray) - 1 _GUICtrlEdit_AppendText($UserPropertiesEditBox, @CRLF & _AD_FQDNToDisplayname($GroupArray[$i])) Next _AD_Close() EndFunc ;==>ListClicked Any help would be great, thank you!
