How to use this button style Topic is solved

[pneumatic]

Notice how the OK button has square edges and no shadow through its face like a regular button does which looks more like this:



On Windows 10 I believe the above image will have square edges as well, however that doesn't mean there aren't two different styles in effect and I would like to use the one in the first picture.

I have tried all the styles in the help file, notably BS_FLAT 0x8000 Specifies that the button is two-dimensional; it does not use the default shading to create a 3-D effect. , however it has no effect. The other styles do work so I don't believe it's an error on my part.

Thanks

Did you try ControlGet Style/ExStyle? It might reveal the difference.

Code: Select all

q::
vCtlClassNN := "Button1"
ControlGet, vCtlStyle, Style,, % vCtlClassNN, A
ControlGet, vCtlExStyle, ExStyle,, % vCtlClassNN, A
MsgBox, % Format("0x{:08X} 0x{:08X}", vCtlStyle, vCtlExStyle)
return

Add -theme to the control's options.

Sample:

Code: Select all

GUI, Add, Button, W100 -theme, % "Square"
GUI, Add, Button, W100, % "Regular"
GUI, Show

Thanks. ControlGet is showing styles 0x00000004 and 0x50030001 for me, but neither of them result in the style unfortunately.
