Remove focus from a button

[Skdp]

Greetings, when I create a GUI with AutoIt if I click on a button the focus is automatically created, is it possible to hide it? The focus should disappear both if I don't click the button and if I click it.

create a button outside the canvas and set focus to that.

Just use ControlFocus() and focus another control or if you want to prevent dotted focus lines then check out this thread.

#include <WinAPISysWin.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate('Test')
$cButton = GUICtrlCreateButton('Click Me', 100, 100, 100, 30)
$hButton = GUICtrlGetHandle($cButton)
$cDummy = GUICtrlCreateLabel('', 0, 0, 0, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)

While True
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case -3 ; GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $cButton
            MsgBox(0, '', 'You clicked the button')
    EndSwitch
    If _WinAPI_GetFocus() = $hButton Then ControlFocus($hGUI, '', $cDummy)
WEnd
