[Function] _CreateImageButton_ (Colored buttons with GDI)

*deleted*

Many thanks for this great function.

Nice!

Wunderschön!

This could be really helpful for creating more interesting guis easily. Thanks

Can the 1-line text restriction be removed? because the original display in buttons is useful, esp, the vertically centered, which exists only in Button but not other controls?

Thankyou for the script.

Just letting you know that it also works in Win98SE. Danke sehr!
Only thing is that the radio buttons become checkboxes but retain the radio group behavior.

Hi, I was trying this function and it works alright, however when I disable a button it nukes the image. I'm not very good at deciphering code that is not mine >< Can anyone help me out? I'd like the button and/or the text to change colors when disabled, I don't mind calling the function extra times to redraw the button as long it draws properly on a disabled button.

... two workarounds:

#NoEnv
#Include _CreateImageButton_.ahk
FS := 14
BMIX := 0
Disabled := False
Gui, Margin, 20, 20
Gui, Color, 608080
Gui, Font, s%FS%
Gui, Add, Button, vButton1 gButton1 hwndBT1ID, Not really regular!
BMIX++, hBM%BMIX% := _CreateImageButton_(BT1ID, "000000", "00FF00", 2, "E0E0E0")
Gui, Add, Button, xp yp  vButton2 hwndBT2ID, Not really regular!
BMIX++, hBM%BMIX% := _CreateImageButton_(BT2ID, "000000", "008000", 2, "808080")
GuiControl, Hide, Button2
Gui, Add, Button, vButton3 gButton3 hwndBT3ID, Not really regular!
BMIX++, hBM%BMIX% := _CreateImageButton_(BT3ID, "000000", "00FF00", 2, "E0E0E0")
Gui, Add, Text, xp yp wp hp vText1 cGreen BackGroundTrans Center 0x200 Hidden
   , Not really regular!
Gui, Add, Button, xm wp hp vButton gButton, Disable
Gui, Show, , Colored Buttons
Return

GuiClose:
GuiEscape:
Loop, %BMIX% {
   DllCall("DeleteObject", "UInt", hBM%A_Index%)
}
ExitApp

Button1:
Button3:
Gui, +OwnDialogs
MsgBox, Button is enabled!
Return

Button:
Disabled ^= True
GuiControl, Disabled%Disabled%, Button1
GuiControl, Disabled%Disabled%, Button3
GuiControl, % (Disabled ? "Show" : "Hide"), Button2
GuiControl, % (Disabled ? "Show" : "Hide"), Text1
GuiControl, , Button, % (Disabled ? "Enable" : "Disable")
Return

Version 2 released!
Look at first post!

You're right, v2.0 doesn't work in Win98SE.
I have my system skinned and some of the buttons in the example inherit the skin while the others won't even show up. For comparison, I attached the result of the first example script with v1.0 of the function.
v2.0 v1.0

awesome function - its exactly what i was as looking for ..

one issue (or something im overlooking) when calling the function to redraw an already function created button, it clears the text ...

my script makes lots of button color updates (i was previously just enabling/disabling a blank colored picture behind the button as to simulate a colored border)
is it just me (or maybe vista) ?
or should i be clearing anything prior to calling the func?

ive tried using DllCall("DeleteObject", "UInt", BTID) with no results


again great func - many thanks

UPDATE: I found the problem --

DllCall("GetWindowText", "UInt", HWND, "Str", TX, "Int", 255) can't retrieve the text of the control after its been created with the func

my hacky workaround was to just add a TX="" parameter to supply a text label when needed

hope this helps

Awesome function. Ty.

One wish - Add option to specify bitmap file directly or pass bitmap handle.
