Group and Radio color values

[John-Paul]

Does anyone have an idea about how to change the Group (GuiCtrlCreateGroup) and the Radio (GUICtrlCreateRadio) values.

I have reesearched the forum and looked at what I found there but no success, I also read the help file and again no help.

My situation may be unusual but heres what I am using in short version.

Code:

GuiCtrlCreateGroup(" Selections:", 15, 271, 370, 105)

GUICtrlSetColor(-1,0xffffff) ; white

GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x333333) ; grey

$radio_0 = GUICtrlCreateRadio ("Backup ISDN Data", 25, 285)

GUICtrlSetColor(-1,0xffffff) ; white

GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1,0x333333) ; grey

The one piece of the puzzel that seems to dictate a lot about what I am doing is the use of....

Code: (watch word wrap!)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 0, 93, 400, 190, $SS_SUNKEN, $WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME) ; vert, hort, wide, high - 190/296

GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x333333)

It seems that when I use the $WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME none of the attributes that may normaly work just freeze and the only text color I get is a blue, which is not actually great for a dark grey background.

Any ideas.

Well I guess after 24hrs if one doesn't get any response then the subject matter is a bit boring and not challenging.

So here's the sample I'm working on and maybe from this you will see what I mean, if it is still boring then I conceed that I've fallen off the planet and no one can understand me.

Anyway if anyone has any ideas as to how to get this to work I would be grateful as I have run out of ideas testing all that I know.

Sorry, I can't understand it really what do you mean...

I tested your script here but didn't found any problem with the colors!?

A good idea would be maybe to post a small screenshot of the window and mark then which control is the problem.

Thanks and regards

Thanks for the pointer, OK here is a snapshot of the problem areas. I have added a bit more code to the imaged script however nothing has changed with regards the areas effected.

Hi John-Paul the colors come from the 'Blue'-WindowsXP-Theme.So by default the colors will not change when 'Themes' are selected.But, what you can do is to disable "Themes" in your script with the command:DllCall("uxtheme.dll", "none", "SetThemeAppProperties", "int", 0)You should call this command at the beginning of your script, like:...
;#notrayicon

DllCall("uxtheme.dll", "none", "SetThemeAppProperties", "int", 0)

Dim $ProcID = "ISDN Data"
...

Holger,

Thanks so much , works like a dream and I would never have found this myself as it would not have occurred to me that the theme's would have impacted on the script, guess I'll keep my eyes open for that one.

Hope its helpful for others, not sure if this is a common issue with other scripts but it has restarted me on this adventure again - well maybe on Mon/Tues after returning from Hof.

Take care have a great weekend ALL.
