GuiControl not changing image when 'Gui, New' used ??

[niczoom]

I pulled some code from a larger project. I am testing changing images using the GuiControl command, in the following code when I press the right arrow key my image changes (from Icon_Settings_0 to Icon_Settings_1):

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance force

global IconResourcesPath := A_ScriptDir "\Resources\126466-multimedia-collection\png\!final\images\"
global Icon_Settings_0	:= IconResourcesPath "settings_normal.png"
global Icon_Settings_1	:= IconResourcesPath "settings_focus.png"	

;~ Gui, Meee: New
Gui, Add, Picture, w250 h-1 +BackgroundTrans, % Icon_Settings_0
Gui, Show
return


Right::
	test()
	return


test() {
	GuiControl,,Static1,%Icon_Settings_1%
}

But when I un-comment the line Gui, Meee: New (which I use to set a number of options) the image does not change when pressing the right arrow key?

Any ideas why this would be?

Code: Select all

test() {
	GuiControl, Meee:, Static1, %Icon_Settings_1% ; added Gui name
}

The default window name for a GUI thread is that of the window that launched the thread. Non-GUI threads use 1 as their default.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I was going round in circles reading the docs, obviously too tired to take much in! I've been using AHK for a while but never for GUI's, so its been a learning experience ...
