Gui flatten buttons

[Hawkysoft]

Hey all, I'm pretty new to AutoIt, I came from autohotkey and decided to try this and see what's better...

Now I've run into an issue while creating a gui with flatten buttons, googled it and found out the solution is

DllCall("UxTheme.dll", "int", "SetWindowTheme", "hwnd", GUICtrlGetHandle($button1), "wstr", 0, "wstr", 0)

But since I've like 15buttons and more coming is there a way to loop this, so I don't have to add multiple useless lines over and over?

I've tried it with an array like this

Local $ButtonList[15] = ["$Button1", "$Button2", "$Button3", "$Button4", "$Button5", "$Button6", "$Button7", "$Button8", "$Button9", "$Button10", "$Button11", "$Button12", "$Button13", "$Button14", "$Button15"]
 

But whenever I tried to call one of the buttons it wouldn't call the actual button itself...

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong however I don't know what...

Is there anyone willing to help me out a little bit on this?

Hawkysoft,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

You can remove the theme from the entire GUI like this:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <Constants.au3>

Global $aButton[4]

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

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

For $i = 0 To 3
    $aButton[$i] = GUICtrlCreateButton(" Button " & $i, 10, 10 + (50 * $i), 80, 30)
Next

GUISetState()

While 1

    $iMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $iMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $aButton[0] To $aButton[3]
            MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Pressed", "Button " & $iMsg - $aButton[0])
    EndSwitch

WEnd

Or you can remove the theme from each button as you create it like this:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <Constants.au3>

Global $aButton[4]

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

For $i = 0 To 3
    $aButton[$i] = GUICtrlCreateButton(" Button " & $i, 10, 10 + (50 * $i), 80, 30)
    DllCall("UxTheme.dll", "int", "SetWindowTheme", "hwnd", GUICtrlGetHandle($aButton[$i]), "wstr", 0, "wstr", 0)
Next

GUISetState()

While 1

    $iMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $iMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $aButton[0] To $aButton[3]
            MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Pressed", "Button " & $iMsg - $aButton[0])
    EndSwitch

WEnd

You choose.

Thank you so much!

was looking already for a irc channel or something to get help with the basic stuff, although all the channels are dead

really appreciate your time and effort!

Hawkysoft,

Glad I could help.

 

to get help with the basic stuff

The Help file should always be your first port of call - but do not hesitate to post even simple questions, we do not bite. Although do not be too surprised if you are redirected straight back to the Help file, but with a specific reference to a function that you missed when looking for yourself.

And the forum search facility (at top-right) is not the best you have ever seen, but does throw up some good leads if you use it correctly.
