Though I've written some
CtlColors script I support this wish related to Edit, Text, ListBox, ComboBox, and DDL controls. When I started to work on CtlColors, I didn't had a clue that AHK was already processing the WM_CTLCOLOR... messages. But looking into
script_gui.cpp clearly shows that it would cost only a few additional statements to allow the
+BackgroundColorValue for these controls. Maybe one of the other developers could try to implement it, if lexikos doesn't find the time to do it.
BTW:
Code: Select all
if (pcontrol->type == GUI_CONTROL_COMBOBOX) // But GUI_CONTROL_DROPDOWNLIST partially works.
// Setting the colors of combo boxes won't work without overriding the ComboBox window proc,
// which introduces complexities because there is no knowing exactly what the default
// window proc of a ComboBox really does in all OSes and under all visual themes.
// Overriding it is likely to cause problems, or at the very least require testing across
// various OSes and themes (XP vs. classic).
break;
Don't know why.
Class_CtlColors doesn't have problems with the control.
