Making a control have more properties

[billthecreator]

I'm really stuck here..

I have 6 pictures, that change like on/off.

Almost like a checkbox, basically.

Is there a way to make it so that if the picture is click, it would change conditionally, like if the picture had a $GUI_CHECKED property.

I've been using java for the last 3 months, and the only thing that comes to mind is classes and objects, that would be easy. Maybe there's a way, but after searching this forum, I'm not sure what to do.

Thank you all.

Basically this is what I am imagining...

if $button_1.Status()= 1 then

;change picture

$button_1.Status(0)

endif

GUICtrlSetImage()

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>

Global $idButton, $iImg = 1

GUICreate("My GUI", 300, 300) ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
$idLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Image = " & $iImg, 20, 20, 260, 20)
$idButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("my picture button", 20, 120, 40, 40, $BS_ICON)
GUICtrlSetImage(-1, "shell32.dll", $iImg)

GUISetState()

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $idButton
            $iImg += 1
            If $iImg > 48 Then $iImg = 1
            GUICtrlSetData($idLabel, "Image = " & $iImg)
            GUICtrlSetImage($idButton, "shell32.dll", $iImg)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

thats not actually what i was looking for, but after thnking i think i found the best way

to create an array, subscript 1 would be the handle, 2 the status, and so forth.

An example.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>

local $hGUI, $idButton[6], $iImg = 274

$hGUI = GUICreate("My GUI", 300, 300,300,300)
For $i = 0 To 5
    GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 110, 30 + ($i * 42), 100, 20)
    $idButton[$i] = GUICtrlCreateButton("", 110, 20 + ($i * 42), 40, 40, $BS_ICON)
    GUICtrlSetImage(-1, "shell32.dll", $iImg)
    GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)
    $iImg += 1
Next
GUICtrlSetState($idButton[0], $GUI_ENABLE)
GUISetState()

While 1
    $iMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $iMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        ; All buttons are disabled, except for the button which was last pressed via its invisible covering label.
        Case $idButton[0] - 1 To $idButton[UBound($idButton) - 1]
            For $i = 0 To 5
                GUICtrlSetState($idButton[$i], $GUI_DISABLE)
            Next
            GUICtrlSetState($idButton[($iMsg + 1 - $idButton[0]) / 2], $GUI_ENABLE)
            MsgBox(0, "", "Button " & 1 + ($iMsg + 1 - $idButton[0]) / 2 & " pushed.", 1, $hGUI)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Just for the sake of completeness, shouldn't you close the User32.dll, i.e, add a function:

Func _PropList_Destroy($phwnd)
    GUIDelete($phwnd)
    DllClose($User32)
EndFunc

So after you leave the main loop in the example

_PropList_Destroy($Gui)

You can if it makes you feel better, but AutoIt closes all open handles on exit anyway. Not actually required.
