Can the text color of a radio button be changed?

13 May 2024, 21:14

Thanks, I mean initially all the text color are the same, when I checked a radio button the text color will change.

 I thought I could easily write it because I've done similar tasks in v1, but surprisingly, there were some grammar changes from v2, so it took me a bit of time.
This is more of a conceptual demonstration to show what you desire is possible. In reality, it needs a bit more refinement.

Re: Can the text color of a radio button be changed?  Topic is solved

14 May 2024, 04:10

The SetFont method does not appear to work to change radio buttons text color. I'm not sure. One workaround is to associate text controls to the radio buttons.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#SingleInstance

g := Gui()
g.OnEvent('Close', (*) => ExitApp())
g.Add('Radio', 'w15 h15').OnEvent('Click', SetRadioColor.Bind('btn1'))
g.Add('Radio', 'xm ym+30 w15 h15').OnEvent('Click', SetRadioColor.Bind('btn2'))
g.Add('Radio', 'xm ym+60 w15 h15').OnEvent('Click', SetRadioColor.Bind('btn3'))
g.txtRadio_btn1 := g.Add('Text', 'xm+20 ym', 'Button 1')
g.txtRadio_btn2 := g.Add('Text', 'xp ym+30', 'Button 2')
g.txtRadio_btn3 := g.Add('Text', 'xp ym+60', 'Button 3')
g.Show()

SetRadioColor(btn, *)
{
    Loop 3
        g.txtRadio_btn%A_Index%.SetFont('cDefault')

    g.txtRadio_%btn%.SetFont('cGreen')
}

This works and seems to demonstrate an AutoHotkey bug whereby the font must first be set to a non-default color.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
buttons      := ['abc', 'def', 'ghi']
g            := Gui(, 'Buttons')
rad          := []
defaultColor := 'Black'
fontSize     := 10
g.SetFont 's' fontSize ' c' defaultColor
For radio in buttons {
 rad.Push g.AddRadio('w200', radio)
 rad[rad.Length].OnEvent('Click', radio_Click)
}
g.Show

radio_Click(btn, info) {
 For radio in rad
  radio.SetFont 'c' defaultColor
 btn.SetFont 'cRed'
}
