Is it possible to change the backgroundcolor of gadgets like GUI-buttons? There is no SetGadgetColor...
How do I change the color of buttons?
BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Beginners Area/How do I change the color of buttons? In C++, a button (as well as other gadgets) are made using the CreateWindow WinAPI call. This is how I do it:-
Gadget = CreateWindow("Button",gadgetText,BS_PUSHBUTTON | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE ,x,y,length,20,m_hWindow,(HMENU)gadgetID,m_hInstance,0);
You could get a handle to the buttons device context using GetDC, then use SetDCBrushColor to change the colour of the button.
Wrap it up in a userlib and jobs a good'un!
Not sure if it's viable, though, it is an interesting idea! :)
