MetroGUI UDF v5.1 - Windows 10 style buttons, toggles, radios, menu etc.

[BBs19]

 

Very cool.

Can you provide example with Edit ?

 

btw.
please post it here:
https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/files/category/11-gui-additions/

What do you mean with edit? Normal GUICtrlCreateEdit?

GUICtrlCreateEdit("",20,200,200,100,-1,0); This makes it look flat as it removes the borders. I am not sure how it looks on Windows 7 though.

Ps.: I will post it there.

 

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)

 

Am I missing something?

Please try chaning the font to Arial or something. Maybe you don't have Callibri Light on your computer, that is the default font. Try: 

$Button1 = _Metro_CreateButton($GUI_HOVER_REG, "Button Style 1", 105, 250, 130, 40, $ButtonBKColor,  $ButtonTextColor, "Arial", 11)

Ps. Can you tell me on which Windows you are?

 

Its good but my only comment would be i cant make the check boxes or radio buttons smaller than 24 the slider and buttons etc are great but the check and radios seem out of proportion with the others

Now that you say it, i see it, too  You can change it now for the radio:  

$Radio1 = _Metro_CreateRadio($GUI_HOVER_REG, 1, "Radio 1", 180, 70, 100, 26,$GUIThemeColor, $FontThemeColor, "Segoe UI", "11",  0, 22) ;< Last parameter tells the size for the circle.

For checkboxes it is a little harder, i am not sure how to calculate it so that the checkmark of the checkboxe doesn't gets deformated or misplaced using GDIPlus. I just started learning GDIPlus and I was never good at math  I have just reduced it to 22px. UDF Updated in first post.

Ah thankyou, all working perfectly now. Had to download Calibri Light (available for free from thefonty.com)

I'm using Win7 Pro x64

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

Why not

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

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

No reason, same thing, same time.

        For $l = 0 To 1 Step 1
            _WinAPI_DeleteObject($aExitButton[$l])
            _WinAPI_DeleteObject($aMinimizeButton[$l])
            _WinAPI_DeleteObject($aButton2[$l])
            _WinAPI_DeleteObject($aButton1[$l])
        Next
        _GDIPlus_Shutdown()
        Exit
    Case $MinimizeButton
        GUISetState(@SW_MINIMIZE, $Form1)

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

 

That was the very old code, but yes could have been also done that way.

It is all in a seperate function now, i tried to make it as efficient as possible now.

Looks good but button text doesn't show.

I'm on Windows 7 Pro x64.

[matej203]

Yes, that's problem on Windows 7, Buttons text doesn't show. It works perfect on Windows 8, 8.1 and 10

[kyo]

Windows 7 Pro x64 here, and there is text on the buttons...

[matej203]

How is that possible? I treid it on virtual machine Windows 7 x86 and it's not working...

[JohnOne]

Win 7 32 bit works fine.

I don't know why there is no Calibri Light font on some Windows 7. Maybe you don't have all updates?

Try using other fonts like Arial or Segoe UI or something like that. I wouldn't use normal Calibri as it somehow doesn't have antialiasing when using GDIPlus.

 

Try:

$Button1 = _Metro_CreateButton($GUI_HOVER_REG, "Button Style 1", 105, 250, 130, 40, $ButtonBKColor,  $ButtonTextColor, "Arial", 11)

Yep looks like this is the case, didn't have the font installed. Problem fixed.

I've found a bug with:

_Metro_MsgBox

 

Try create a variable with this sample: $mc = "C:\Users\steen\Desktop\Custom-Icon-Design-Flatastic-11-At.ico"

and use it with _Metro_MsgBox, like: _Metro_MsgBox("Metro MsgBox Example", "You have selected a new icon:" & @CRLF & @CRLF & $mc, 350, 14, $Form1)

nvm, just delete this post, if i remove 350 and 14, then it works fine

It will crash

Hmm.. I usually just create the GUI in Koda, then add the few lines required for UDF(you can use the example), replace the GUICreate, Buttons etc. with the with the metro udf functions by just replacing all. That is it  It is mostly copy, paste and replace.

[legend]

can you show an example of how to have multiple gui windows, so if you click a button,

it will create a new gui, and when you X it, then it removes the GUI again.

I tried that, but it will make the orginal gui stock, and not able to be moved

[lampel]

how can i add a text edit control (GUICtrlCreateEdit) ???

 

thanks lampel

[legend]

Is it really not possible to change the state of a radiobox, but only a toggle and a checkbox,

why would there even be a radiobox in the udf, if you can't check if it's selected or not 0_o
