Custom Button shapes and effects

picea892 · December 13, 2009

Last updated: January 2, 2009

Made fixes to memory usage and demonstration of other buttons and a gui background.

This script will allow you to make custom shape, size and text guictrl buttons easily. I attempted to make it as straightforward as possible. Since it is buttons I am working with I made an example using Mr. Creator's hover udf. Please download the two UDFs and try the example below.

Enjoy

Instructions: One line changes are all that are needed. To minimize complexity (there is a long line of parameters I could add) I attempted to keep the parameters short and each style specializes in a specific task:

Any one of these styles can be expanded as a background to a GUI or a background to Text. I have demonstrated both of these as well.

Nice. I love the look and the smoothness.

Your script seems to be more of an example of what can be done to make differently shaped buttons. A description of what is happening and what variables can be changed to get different effects would help new people adapt your code to fit their needs.

Great job.

Edited December 13, 2009 by dantay9

picea892 · December 13, 2009

Thanks Dantay9

Yes it is more or a demonstration than anything else. I should look into writing a bit more of a description, maybe tomorrow.

I just moved over to a different computer and noticed that my GUI showed up but Mr. Creator's UDF does not seem to be registering button activity. Not sure if it's a xp/vista or Autoit version difference. Anyways...these should be 3 state buttons

Looks fine, but it's leaking everywhere.

You need to get rid of used gdi objects and bitmaps. Or it would explode eventually.

picea892 · December 13, 2009

Thank you Trancexx. Took another look through and found I was consistently not disposing of one object and also the icon. It's probably a bit of the hobbyist in me coming out. Anyways dealt with the $hIcon and $hBMP1 appropriately. Should be clean now, but I really do appreciate a second set of eyes for that kind of thing.

Blow-up.....boy that would be cool. Would I need sunglasses?

Thanks Playlet

I was inspired partially by your launcher and by Funkey's own tabs. I think for me this is what the forum is all about. Showing of examples of what can be done which in turn inspires others to create. Over the next few months I plan to design other buttons and will include here. I'm hoping others will think this is a valuable project and contribute some of their own buttons. It's not too hard really but as Trancexx indicated, have to be careful to dispose of resources properly.

picea892 · December 21, 2009

Hi everyone.

Well I think I'm officially tired of making buttons.....at least for now.

Many more examples included.

Various topbar series of buttons.

I figured out a way to shape the button when an icon is included and also demonstrated some extreme shaping using icons, wingdings, webdings etc.

Also, experimented with setting the background gradient using the average icon colour and the inverse colour for the font. This idea was based off a Melba23 example and many many Malkey examples too numerous to list here.

Suggestions welcome...but I'm on a much needed vacation, so may not be prompt in my response.

It still seems to be sucking up memory. There is still a leak somewhere. Other than that, everything is working fine.

Thanks Dantay9! Checking in control panel, seems very very good,a great improvement when you look at the memory usage. I used winmerge to try and find the changes. The one that struck me most was

_WinAPI_DeleteObject(GUICtrlSendMsg($control, 0x0172, 0, $hBMP1))

I did not know that was the way to write that code. I believe this must be a significant place where I was increasing memory usage. Anyways, I can't tell how much I appreciate you cleaning up the script. I think this is a piece of code I will be referencing regularly and owe you. I hope to pay you back someday.

I'm still visiting family so probably won't change the first post until I get back to my home computer.

Cheers and have a good New Years.

Arrgh! I've been locking horns with that bloody RAM leak for over a year now. This thread may or may not help the cause, good luck gents!

StringRERange function is missing in shapecontrols_udf.au3.

(Plus the hover udf needs updating to use OnAutoItExitRegister.)

Dolemite50, glad I'm not the only one, misery loves company. Anyways seems Dantay9 fixed if for me.

"StringRERange function is missing in shapecontrols_udf.au3."

Went through the original Malkey functions and realized you are right. I made the change...though I doubt anyone will notice because no differences are visual differences apparent.

(Plus the hover udf needs updating to use OnAutoItExitRegister.)

Got to take this one up with Mr Creator, not me. I think others have already posted on his thread about that.

Thanks for all the interest and help.

I updated the original post with Dantay9 and Martin's fixes. Also added a custom made close button and guibackground to the UDF. I added a second example to demonstrate use.

_WinAPI_DeleteObject(GUICtrlSendMsg($Control, 0x0172, 0, $hBMP1))

I can not take credit for this piece of code. I believe it came from Yashied here. I narrowed down the places that were using up the memory and came to that line. A quick search on the forum turned up this post with a master piece of code. Before reading Yashied's post, I didn't know that either. Yet another great example from Yashied.
