Hello all,
I am trying to draw all my GUI commands (Pico to an LCD) in BLACK so they don't appear on start up (I have 40+). When I need to see them I use GUI FCOLOUR and GUI SHOW.

All except GUI RADIO work because its captions' colours are set by the preceding COLOUR command. Even doing a GUI HIDE ALL immediately after it there is a perceptible flicker.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Andrew

(If I set the caption in black it's zone still works so I could TEXT the caption as I wanted it)
Edit: using GUI FCOLOUR changes the buttons and 'LED' but not the captions.

Use multiple pages instead of drawing a lot? You only see one page at once then.
The colour commands can make things disappear but they don't disable them.

GUI SHOW is to reveal controls that have been hidden by a GUI HIDE list.

Thanks Mick (the non-big one).
Yes that works!
When I tried it x months ago I couldn't crack it (maybe pre-Pico?).

I'm still intrigued that RADIO BUTTON appears to be the only(?) control that you can't directly change the caption colour?

Crisis averted and now I'm changing my GUIs to various pages.
Off hand - do you know the limit of page Nos?

Cheers,

Andrew

I never went past 3, I don't think. Then I abandoned the project. Like you do sometimes. :)

Quote To allocate controls to a page you use the GUI SETUP nn command where nn refers to the page in the range of
1 to 32. When you have used this command any newly created controls will be assigned to that page. You can
use GUI SETUP as many times that you want. For example, in the program fragment below the first two
controls will be assigned to page 1, the second to page 2, etc.
