Class_CtlColors

Choose your own background and/or text colors for some AHK GUI controls.

How to use

• To register a control for coloring call CtlColors.Attach() passing up to three parameters:

  HWND    - HWND of the GUI control
  BkColor - HTML color name, 6-digit hexadecimal RGB value, or "" for default color
  ------- Optional 
  TxColor - HTML color name, 6-digit hexadecimal RGB value, or "" for default color
  

  If both BkColor and TxColor are "" the control will not be added and the call returns False.

• To change the colors for a registered control call CtlColors.Change() passing up to three parameters:

  HWND    - see above
  BkColor - see above
  ------- Optional
  TxColor - see above
  

  Both BkColor and TxColor may be "" to reset them to default colors. If the control is not registered yet, CtlColors.Attach() is called internally.

• To unregister a control from coloring call CtlColors.Detach() passing one parameter:

  HWND    - see above
  

• To stop all coloring and free the resources call CtlColors.Free(). It's a good idea to insert this call into the scripts exit-routine.

• To check if a control is already registered call CtlColors.IsAttached() passing one parameter:

  HWND    - see above
  

To get a control's HWND use either the option HwndOutputVar with Gui, Add or the command GuiControlGet with sub-command Hwnd.
