Title : Two new button styles using API
Author : Cold Harbour
Posted : 1+ years ago

Description : This code adds two new button styles:
A three state tick box - new state is greyed.
A chunky push button. Can't think of another way to put it.

Code :

Code: blitzbasic

; 	.lib "User32.dll"
;	SendMessage%(hWnd%,Msg%,wParam%,lParam%):"SendMessageA" 

Const BM_SETSTYLE	=	244
Const BS_AUTO3STATE	=	6
Const BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON	=	1

win=CreateWindow ("Win",10,10,600,300,main,1)

button1=api_CreateButton("Tickbox with three states",10,10,300,20,win,BS_AUTO3STATE)

button2=api_CreateButton("Chunky button",10,50,200,30,win,BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON)

While WaitEvent(10)<>$803
Wend
End 

Function api_CreateButton(title$,x, y, w, h, parent,style) 

	button = CreateButton(title, x, y, w, h, parent)
	hwnd = QueryObject(button, 1)
	SendMessage (hwnd, BM_SETSTYLE, style  ,1)
	Return button

End Function

It's funny... I found out about the "half-checkable" boxes (as I call them) too! And I did it in the same way! Unfortunately, you need some sort of way to tell how many times the thing's been clicked to find the state, as it will return a ButtonState() of 0 if it's half-checked.
