[4.20 Mac] ImageButton, 2nd Image for pressed-state

[jamirokwai]

Dear Folks,

I tried to code an ImageButton with two images for pressed and not-pressed-state like this:

The images are embedded into the executable, and exist. The size is also correct for both.

Code: Select all

ImageGadget(0,0,0,20,20,ImageID(1))
SetGadgetAttribute(0, #PB_Button_PressedImage, ImageID(2))

The image does not change when clicking on the Button. It always displays the first image.

Is my code wrong?
Or does the Mac-Version not function like expected?
Do I have to manually change the image after catching the event?

Thanks in advance for comments!

Regards,
JamiroKwai

This works for me (tested with 4.20f):

Code: Select all

CreateImage(0,130,25)
StartDrawing(ImageOutput(0))
Box(0,0,130,25,RGB(255,0,0))
StopDrawing()

CreateImage(1,130,25)
StartDrawing(ImageOutput(1))
Box(0,0,130,25,RGB(0,0,255))
StopDrawing()

OpenWindow(0,0,0,320,240,"void")
CreateGadgetList(WindowID(0))
ButtonImageGadget(0,10,10,130,25,ImageID(0))
 
SetGadgetAttribute(0, #PB_Button_PressedImage, ImageID(1)) 

While WaitWindowEvent() ! #PB_Event_CloseWindow : Wend

Thanks.

The error simply was... ImageGadget does not support a second image
when using #PB_Button_PressedImage...

It works with ButtonImageGadget as you suggested.

Bummer

edit: I changed my code to use ImageGadget and change the image
manually within the event-loop using

Code: Select all

SetGadgetState(#gadget,  ImageID(#2ndstate)) ; pressed

When clicked again, it is changed to the not-pressed image:

Code: Select all

SetGadgetState(#gadget,  ImageID(#1ststate)) ; not-pressed

No score for style, but it works... Maybe somebody has as suggestion?

I have a suggestion: if you want a button, use a button, not an image gadget.

Well, I guess he want's a customized button ...

Gotcha or, better: Got-Me. That's the point: customized...
It works now as I'd wanted it to work like...

The MacOS-Gadgets are not satisfying, aren't they? Every gadget has its own border.

Let me guess: you made your application inaccessible to any users who can't(/won't) use a mouse, and destroyed screenreader compatibility (for visually impaired) at the same time?

Not yet, Trond... But nearly... Just checking some possibilities of Gadgets.

As a matter of fact, I misplanned the GUI of my program, and have to re-code everything... Now I will use panels with more space for every option. Hence: more usable for impacted people. In the end, I will add keyboard-shortcuts where usefull...
