Change color of button once pressed

[PurpleRose]

Hi everyone,

I was hoping someone could help me.

I have a small application which has maybe 12 buttons that do various tasks. I would like to be able to change the color of the button once it is pressed so i can see right away what buttons i have pressed and what buttons i have left to press.

Any help is appreciated.

Buttons are merely zipped files renamed with a .btn extension. They contain png images (one image for each button state. ie. up/hover/down/disabled) and an XML file which specifies display properties. You can edit the color of any button manually by changing the png images. Or you can edit/build buttons according to your needs using the built-in Button Maker utility under the Tools menu.

Additionally, you can control the appearance (properties) of a button programatically by:

i) setting up a table of Button Properties
ii) calling those properties via the Button.SetProperties command. eg.

-- Button object properties table.
tblBtnProps = {};
tblBtnProps.ButtonFile = "";
tblBtnProps.Text = "";
tblBtnProps.FontName = "Verdana";
tblBtnProps.FontSize = 15;
tblBtnProps.FontWeight = FW_BOLD;
tblBtnProps.FontItalic = false;
tblBtnProps.FontStrikeout = false;
tblBtnProps.FontScript = ANSI_CHARSET;
tblBtnProps.FontAntiAlias = true;
tblBtnProps.FontUnderline = false;
tblBtnProps.XOffset = 0;
tblBtnProps.YOffset = 0;
tblBtnProps.LeftMargin = 0;
tblBtnProps.RightMargin = 0;
tblBtnProps.Style = BTNSTYLE_STANDARD;
tblBtnProps.ToggleState = BTN_UP;
tblBtnProps.Cursor = CURSOR_HAND;
tblBtnProps.TooltipText = "";
tblBtnProps.Y = 0;
tblBtnProps.X = 0;
tblBtnProps.Height = 54;
tblBtnProps.Width = 198;
tblBtnProps.Enabled = true;
tblBtnProps.Visible = true;
tblBtnProps.ResizeLeft = false;
tblBtnProps.ResizeRight = false;
tblBtnProps.ResizeTop = false;
tblBtnProps.ResizeBottom = false;
tblBtnProps.HighlightSound = SND_STANDARD;
tblBtnProps.HighlightSoundFile = "";
tblBtnProps.ClickSound = SND_STANDARD;
tblBtnProps.ClickSoundFile = "";
tblBtnProps.ColorNormal = Math.HexColorToNumber("FFFFFF");
tblBtnProps.ColorHighlight = Math.HexColorToNumber("FFFFFF");
tblBtnProps.ColorDown = Math.HexColorToNumber("FFFFFF");
tblBtnProps.ColorDisabled = Math.HexColorToNumber("FFFFFF");
tblBtnProps.Alignment = ALIGN_CENTER;

-- call the button properties with:
Button.SetProperties("Button1", tblBtnProps);

RTM, it's all in there.
