GuiControl set color using variable Topic is solved

[Ahmad-f]

Hi
I use these lines to get windows accent color

Code: Select all

RegRead, Color, HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM, ColorizationColor
Accent := Format("{:X}", Color)
Accent := SubStr(Accent, 2)

and i want to change progress bar's color

Code: Select all

if Mute
	GuiControl, +cGray, VolSlider
else
	GuiControl, +c, VolSlider, %Accent%

I tried

Code: Select all

GuiControl, +c%Accent%, VolSlider

but it didn't work too

how can i set the color code inside variable?

Your accent color variable contains one too many characters. If the first byte (first two characters) is the alpha channel (transparency level), then you need to remove the first two characters:

Code: Select all

Accent := SubStr(Accent, 3)

That should work. Here's a demo:

Code: Select all

RegRead, Color, HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM, ColorizationColor
Accent := Format("{:X}", Color)
Accent := SubStr(Accent, 3)

Gui, Add, Progress, w200 h20 cBlue vVolSlider, 75
Gui, Show
Sleep, 3000
GuiControl, +c%Accent%, VolSlider
Sleep, 3000
ExitApp

thanks

In my case

Code: Select all

RegRead, Accent, HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM, ColorizationColor
Accent := Format("{:X}", Accent)

gives Accent C4744DA9 value so i just removed first character and since +c4744DA9 worked I didn't notice that there is an extra

I still cant make it work so here is the full script

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance force
#NoEnv
SetBatchLines, -1
#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 199
#include va.ahk

RegRead, Accent, HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM, ColorizationColor
Accent := Format("{:X}", Accent)
Accent := SubStr(Accent, 3)

You are trying to access the variable Accent outside of its scope (inside a function). You can put global Accent at the top of that function so it can access it. To demonstrate, try the following with and without the global Accent line:

Code: Select all

RegRead, Accent, HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM, ColorizationColor
Accent := Format("{:X}", Accent)
Accent := SubStr(Accent, 3)

; Create the slider window
Gui, Font, s13
Gui, Add, Progress, w29 h137 x0 y0 Range0-100 vVolSlider Vertical, 100
Gui, Add, Text, w29 h43 x0 y89 vVolText BackgroundTrans Center, 0
Gui, +AlwaysOnTop -Caption +ToolWindow +Border
Gui, Show, w29 h137 x0 y0, Volume

Sleep, 3000
UpdateSlider()
return

UpdateSlider()
{
	global Accent
	GuiControl, +c%Accent%, VolSlider
}
