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

1. ;       .lib "User32.dll"
2. ;       SendMessage%(hWnd%,Msg%,wParam%,lParam%):"SendMessageA"
3.  
4. Const BM_SETSTYLE       =       244
5. Const BS_AUTO3STATE     =       6
6. Const BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON  =       1
7.  
8. win=CreateWindow ("Win",10,10,600,300,main,1)
9.  
10. button1=api_CreateButton("Tickbox with three states",10,10,300,20,win,BS_AUTO3STATE)
11.  
12. button2=api_CreateButton("Chunky button",10,50,200,30,win,BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON)
13.  
14. While WaitEvent(10)<>$803
15. Wend
16. End
17.  
18. Function api_CreateButton(title$,x, y, w, h, parent,style)
19.  
20.         button = CreateButton(title, x, y, w, h, parent)
21.         hwnd = QueryObject(button, 1)
22.         SendMessage (hwnd, BM_SETSTYLE, style  ,1)
23.         Return button
24.  
25. 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.
