BartDog Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I have a GUI setup to run a few different programs and updates. It is working fine but since some of them take some time I might end up forgetting which of the buttons I have already pushed. I am looking for a way to indicate which buttons have been pushed. Say maybe change the color, or check a box next to it or really anything that will be a visual reference. If anyone has a suggestion, example, or just can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Solution Melba23 Posted July 31, 2013 Moderators Solution Share Posted July 31, 2013 BartDog, Use the $BS_PUSHLIKE style on a checkbox control- then it stays pushed until you push it again: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <Constants.au3> #include <ButtonConstants.au3> $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500) GUICtrlCreateButton("Normal", 10, 10, 80, 30) GUICtrlCreateCheckBox("PushLike", 10, 50, 80, 30, $BS_PUSHLIKE) GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd How is that?

Belini Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 to change only the color you can do this: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <Constants.au3> #include <ButtonConstants.au3> Local $state = 0 $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 100, 60) $button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Test", 10, 10, 80, 30) GUICtrlSetBkColor($button, 0xFA020B) GUICtrlSetColor($button, 0xFFFFFF) GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $button If $state = 0 Then $state = 1 GUICtrlSetBkColor($button, 0x2C02FA) Else $state = 0 GUICtrlSetBkColor($button, 0xFA020B) EndIf EndSwitch WEnd My Codes: Virtual Key Code UDF: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/138246-virtual-key-code-udf/ GuiSplashTextOn.au3: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/143542-guisplashtexton-udf/ Menu versions of Autoit: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/137435-menu-versions-of-autoit/#entry962011 Selects first folder of letters: ]http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/144780-select-folders-by-letter/#entry1021708/spoiler] List files and folders with long addresses.: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/144910-list-files-and-folders-with-long-addresses/#entry102 2926 Program JUKEBOX made in Autoit:some functions:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ2tC2fD5Qs Navigation to search:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lblwOFIbgtQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Setting the color of buttons is going to cause that button to be stuck as the default control, there's a bug in the AutoIt code when it comes to coloring buttons. 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.

BartDog Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 I have added $BS_PUSHLIKE to my GUI and it is working great. I will avoid the button color changing for now but I will store the info for future use. Thank you all for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edano Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 i ilke to set a label behind the button and color it so you just see 2 or 3 pixel. looks good. [color=rgb(255,0,0);][font="'comic sans ms', cursive;"]FukuLeaks[/color][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
