Don't make this a high priority, I currently have something similar with the style LBS_MULTIPLESEL (0x0008).
thanks,

firstly i think i requested reverse loop w/o much thinking... it can be easily done like this:
total = 15
loop, %total%
{
total --
msgbox %total%
}
the start from 14 and end at 0 can be easily fixed.
by the way the c (color option) is not followed by buttons. also, would it be easy to make an option available for control bg too for single controls? (low priority)
are tabs coming?

I haven't discovered an easy way to color the buttons, but I'll look into it for a future version.

That's on the list, thanks.
That's one of the hardest control types, but it's definitely planned. |

plz separate the ways to get the control's text and control's other values (like 1/0 for radio) for the following reasons:
-Its difficult to set control text using GuiControl cmd because if i give 1/0 intending the radio options to be 0/1/2/3, its treated differently.
-The same is the case with GuiControlGet cmd... i intend to get text and it gets me selected/unselected if the text is spl !
-And as simple control cmds dont work on listbox, so atleast for own guis i will be able to use this for all controls (listbox & others).

Thanks. I will add a new "text" sub-command that always sets the text rather than the contents.
| Quote: | | -The same is the case with GuiControlGet cmd... i intend to get text and it gets me selected/unselected if the text is spl ! |
There is already an option to do that via the word "text". Example:
GuiControlGet, MyCheckbox,, Text
I've clarified the help file with the following: "To unconditionally retrieve a control's text/caption rather than its contents, specify the word Text for Param4."
| Quote: | | -And as simple control cmds dont work on listbox, so atleast for own guis i will be able to use this for all controls (listbox & others). |
I might change ControlGetText to get the current selection of a ListBox (I think it already works for ComboBox and DropDownList). Do you have any need to get the entire list of entries in a ListBox/ComboBox/DropDownList?
Also, are there any controls besides ListBox for which you would want better handling in ControlGet or ControlGetText? Thanks. |

The above has been added to the latest installer. Thanks for suggesting it. |

for the current needs i need the complete list but just for ahk's gui so there's separate cmd for it that now does it. i don't need it for outside listbox for now.

i've just noticed it for listbox.

there's a problem i faced while adding tabs (in sgui)... they appear behind pics added earlier... it took some time before i figured out that tabs are appearing albeit behind the grid!...i guess it should appear in front of pics added earlier.
also, can the limitation of 'one var can only be used for one control' in gui be removed?... ofcourse this'd have issues with guicontrol etc. but it can target the first found control... also only for specific uses one'd use one var for 2 controls... i've a use.
is it possible to add support for using icons directly from dlls/exes in guis and filecreateshortcut etc? ... btw i've seen icons from multi-icon-dlls (like shell32.dll) referred as path-to-file, icon-number.
thanx.

Here is at least a partial solution. I'm having a hard time coming up with anything better due the problem of breaking other things: Immediately after you add a tab control, follow it with this line:
GuiControl, -0x4000000, SysTabControl321; i.e. remove WS_CLIPSIBLINGS
That will allow the tab to appear on top of the background picture.
The above cannot be done during control creation because apparently the OS overrides it. Also, it seems best not to generate that command as part of the user's script; use it only internally for SGUI. This is because removing WS_CLIPSIBLINGS from a Tab control might have unwanted side-effects (Microsoft says not to do it).

I'd need a really good reason for that because:
1) It would prevent duplicate controls from being detected as errors during the execution of the script.
2) When "Gui Submit" is used, it's not clear which control should store its result into the variable.

Sounds like a good idea, I'll add it to the GUI list (which is a large informal list separate from the published to-do list). Thanks. |

yeah i agree about those problems... but with the currently available options i'm only able to make just one tab ctrl available to users (with ofcourse 256 tabs). though more than one tab ctrl will be rarely needed, its limiting.
maybe i can find another way if u make available all those nice gui in-built vars that u once mentioned... whatever happened to them?

Note that the "Gui Tab" command applies to the most recently added tab control. With this in mind, it should be possible to support more than one tab control. However, if it involves a lot of extra scripting effort, I can understand why you might not want to do it. If you can give more specifies, I might be able to help more (but you might not need any at this point).

They're still on the list. |

this did it. thanx!
for about a week i won't get coding time so maybe when i'll get back to it, we'll have those vars ...
but here's a li'l request... plz try to use the conventional cmd style for whichever future control possible... it'll make it easier to add its support in sgui and decrease chances for bugs... u can imagine the features like 'edit gui script' are massive! ...and i've to take care of everything that might be there in script (gui only)... and w/o dynamic commands its very tedious. so the conventional style will help.
for eg. u can use this for trackbar/slider
gui, add, slider, x10 y10 h20 w100 [vertical], slow|fast
thanx.

Yes I will try; thanks.
By the way, I don't know if anyone here is willing to help you out on SGUI, but if they are perhaps they will speak up. They could then submit revised versions to you for review. |
