Changelog:

Quote

Version 5.1 - Changelog - 17.10.2017

New features:

  • Added support for OnEventMode - The UDF will automatically detect this if you enable OnEventMode before including the MetroUDF. You can also manually enable it using _Metro_EnableOnEventMode.
  • Added _Metro_InputBox - A modern looking input box that allows entering a PW or other details.
  • Added a new parameter "$tMargin" to _Metro_AddControlButtons and _Metro_AddControlButton_Back, to allow custom margin size (free space from the corners)
  • Added _Metro_ToggleSwitch, _Metro_CheckboxSwitch, toggles between checked/unchecked states and then return the current state.  -> Should only be used to handle user clicks
  • Added GUIAccelerator to _Metro_MsgBox to allow closing the MsgBox faster by pressing enter to click the default button.

Improvments:

  • Aligned the toggle/radio text to the left instead of center
  • Increased hover effect visibilty on the Metro Toggle when using a light theme.

Bugfixes:

  • Added a workaround for the resize cursor getting stuck on controls very close to the window border. 
  • Fixed hover effect of toggle checked being stuck despite the $NoAnimation parameter being set to true for startup.
  • Added a new parameter "$NoHoverEffect" to _Metro_RadioCheck and _Metro_CheckboxCheck to prevent the hover effect from appearing/freezing when calling the function manually without user interaction. 
    • Should be used anytime the checkbox/radio is not "clicked" by the user but checked manually during startup otherwise the hover effect is stuck until the mouse is moved over the control

Somehow parts of your code look familiar to me....

 

Br,

UEZ ;)

 

So it was you who posted the metro buttons function somewhere in the forum !  Thanks, they look really amazing if added in the right place and customized to match the gui, they make autoit look a little more "up to date" :)

Think switch block in main while loop can be easily shortened.

Switch $nMsg
    Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $ExitButton
        _WinAPI_DeleteObject($aExitButton[0])
        _WinAPI_DeleteObject($aExitButton[1])
        _WinAPI_DeleteObject($aMinimizeButton[0])
        _WinAPI_DeleteObject($aMinimizeButton[1])
        _WinAPI_DeleteObject($aButton2[0])
        _WinAPI_DeleteObject($aButton2[1])
        _WinAPI_DeleteObject($aButton1[0])
        _WinAPI_DeleteObject($aButton1[1])
        _GDIPlus_Shutdown()
        Exit
    Case $MinimizeButton
        GUISetState(@SW_MINIMIZE, $Form1)

    Case $Button1
        MsgBox(64, "", "Button 1")
    Case $Button2
        MsgBox(64, "", "Button 2")
EndSwitch

I would suggest removing "Global" from a loop

While 1     
#Region Metro Style GUI-Control
    
Global $aMouseInfo, $bShow = False, $bHide = False

8)

 

In this case I can suggest you the same with #Region 

#Region Metro Style GUI-Control 
While 1

how i can guess by name of the region

it includes the entire loop :    While ..... Wend

*Update 20.02.2015*

 

I updated the old "MetroStyle GUI" script and created a small UDF. CPU usage has been reduced and the script is now very easy to work with :)

Also added many themes (inspired by Android material colors).

Thanks for sharing.

P.S. I would suggest, that you resize ALL your screenshots to 75% maybe, as they are too big for my Netbook screen (when clicked), and don't need to be so large really.

Thank's

where is the " Textbox , radio button , Progressbar , checkbox and etc " with metro theme ?

:)

See first post, i have updated the UDF. There are also checkboxes now, For Edit and Inputbox you can just you "0" as exstyle, and it will match the GUI better and look modern, no need for extra function :) Radio buttons shouldn't be too hard, but i had no time to read tutorials for GDI Plus, so for now no Radio buttons or progressbar.

When running the example, no text shows on the buttons. Changing theme/text color does nothing; neither does running in Beta (although beta-run makes buttons fit into the GUI better)
