Surfing in the forums I noticed there are many posts about shaped gui but it is a difficult point... till now!!!

I have created this tool that takes a GIF image used as a backgroun for the form and allows the programmer to "trace" the shape over the image itself then you can generate the code of the form by simply a click...

Limitations:
-Only GIF images are compatibles (sorry)
-Win2000+ required (no 9x)

I created an example (nemo.au3) with the program. Requires the image "nemo.gif" (my wife's poodle) in @scriptdir...

This code was possible by joining good pieces of code of great programmers like Valuater, Gafrost, Larry and others I loose his names.... Thanks to all!!!

To do:
-Undo function
-Multiple regions
-Preview window

Hasta la vista!!!

This is definately a useful tool for me, and it also helps me study techniques and more on creating different effects. A+

Really Nice!!! Ed.....

Also, it is really great that you give thanks to the designer of the original UDF/Function

.... But

$a &=";Author of this code: Valuater, modified by: Ed_Maximized"&@CRLF

I think the "main" portion of this UDF/Function was designed by Larry... not me

... again, nice job!!

Thank you all for your comments!!!

I would like to see examples of programs done with this utility so it would motivate me to follow improving it.

[magician13134]

Just one suggestion, there are lots of windows that get opened when you run this script, I think it'd look a little nicer if they were child windows of the main GUI...
