Yes, I suspect it's because Tahoma doesn't have a built-in italic variant... or maybe some other reason. Switching to another typeface seems to fix it. I found a couple of confirming clues on the newsgroups: | Quote: | It is normal not to have an italic tahoma font. Word simply changes the shape of the font to achieve italics.
Using Tahoma Italic is not a good idea usually. There is no actual font file for Tahoma Italic so the windows rasteriser synthesises one on the fly. The regular version is simply slanted. There can be legibility problems. |

I'll probably give the font dialog higher priority, since it includes a color selector inside it (though perhaps not as good as the color dialog's). |

and alongwith password mode for editbox, u might also consider a 'noedit' mode.
sounds a bit absurd?... let me explain... there're some apps that want their output copiable right away (u don't need to use kleptomania!) ..but there's no need to edit/change the output, not even accidentally. then they use non-editable edit fields.

I noticed, but thought it might have something to do with SetBatchLines, SetWinDelay, or SetControlDelay, but didn't play with any of them yet.
thanks,

Definitely on the list, thanks.

Nice catch! That's a bug related to the fact that double-click messages were being ignored (only the first click of a true double-click was being processed). It will be fixed in the next release. |

Appologies, Chris and Beardboy.
Before I put a g option in an edit box but it was to use beardboy's way of control the input in an edit box !!! I didn't read his solution as well as I must !!! I tried it without reading it well !!! I must change of eyes....
So appologies Chris and Beardboy !!! |

Congrats Chris on first major GUI-supported release!
and thanx a lot for making radio buttons the way u've done it... any other cmd format wud've reqd major changes to sgui code! 
here're some peculiarities i noticed:
-for some reason though the buttons take a dbl click as a dbl click, they don't show it... it seems to get pressed only once.
-in sgui the newly created controls are not accessible (in sgui main window)...buttons don't press, edit isn't editable etc. (it wasn't so till Release 2.0)
-if i create a button over a text control:
earlier it was accessible and visible, now its just visible
-if i create a text control over a button
in sgui it is not visible nor accessible
in test script its visible & accessible after first click at its position.

If a button's subroutine is already running, subsequent attempts to launch it will be ignored. Could this be what you're seeing? I did a test with rapid button clicks showing a counter in SplashText: the count captured the clicks as fast as I could make them.

Should I be investigating these things on my end, or do you think it's something you changed? |

sorry, i should have clarified... i meant that the button takes all clicks..process them well... but the button itself doesn't 'look' like being pressed twice by 2 quick presses. (compare with win calc to see)

i don't think i changed anything regarding these, so most probably its some ahk change.

Thanks for the clarification. I'll try to fix that.

I'm not doing anything unusual when creating the controls. Perhaps if you later have time to construct a short test script that can reproduce unwanted behavior, I can try to isolate it from that. |

and Chris, do u have some idea how can different mouse cursors be implemented? ...like if a script is doing some processing, we present the hourglass cursor... or for precision, the crosshair one?

| I think cursors are pretty straight-forward; I've added it to the list. Thanks for the idea. |

With Edit controls can ctrl+a be built in to select all? Or at least have it be an option?
thanks,
