Skitty Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) I was curious, I'm fiddling around with creating windows controls using the title function and I'd like to know how I can set its cursor. There seems to be nothing here relating to doing this... That is, setting the cursor for a static control (pic) created with createwindowex.

BrewManNH Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Are you talking about the mouse cursor? If it's for the whole GUI use GUISetCursor, if for a specific control use GUICtrlSetCursor. If you're not talking about the mouse cursor, please explain what it is you do mean. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

rover Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 It's set in the WNDCLASSEX struct when a custom class is registered (there is an example in WinAPIEx for a custom class gui: _WinAPI_RegisterClassEx.au3) GUISetCursor/GUICtrlSetCursor change an existing control class with SetClassLongEx GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 10, 30, 70, 30, $SS_GRAYFRAME) $hCursor = _WinAPI_LoadCursor(0, $IDC_HAND) ;system cursors do not have to be deleted - no memory leak _WinAPI_SetClassLongEx(GUICtrlGetHandle(-1), $GCL_HCURSOR, $hCursor);original system cursor (returned by SetClassLongEx) does not have to be deleted.

If you're not talking about the mouse cursor, please explain what it is you do mean. Situation.. : Creating windows control class "Static" using _WinAPI_CreateWindowEx() Problem.... : Assigning Cursor icon for hover action That's basically it. Global $hDragBar = _WinApi_CreateWindowEx(0, "Static", "Drag Control", BitOR($WS_VISIBLE, $WS_CHILD, $SS_NOTIFY, $SS_BITMAP), 0, $UI_HEIGHT - $statusBarHeight - 27, $UI_WIDTH, $UI_HEIGHT, $Editor_UI) _WinAPI_SetWindowPos($hDragBar, $HWND_TOP, 0, $UI_HEIGHT - $statusBarHeight - 27, $UI_WIDTH, $UI_HEIGHT, $SWP_SHOWWINDOW) That's basically why i'm doing it, it seems to stay higher in the z order and I noticed that in my script, it is easier to control painting when $WS_CLIPCHILDREN is used. I could be wrong though, and using the normal GuiCreatePic() function and setting its state to $GUI_ONTOP has the same effect, but the one created using the createwindowex seems to help with managing painting issues.

(no memory leak) ;_WinAPI_DestroyCursor($hCursor) This solves my problem completely. And as for the reason I was doing this, it is confirmed, creating the pic control in this manner seems to solve a problem with $WS_CLIPCHILDREN style.
