_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawString() with color

Reported by:	argumentum	Owned by:	Jpm
Milestone:	3.3.15.4	Component:	Standard UDFs
Version:		Severity:	None
Keywords:	_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawString()	Cc:

Description

_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawString() is a wrapper for _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawStringEx(). The ability to choose a color is there but not implemented and can be easily added as a last parameter $iARGB:

Func _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawString_wColor($hGraphics, $sString, $nX, $nY, $sFont = "Arial", $fSize = 10, $iFormat = 0, $iARGB = 0xFF000000)
	Local $hBrush = _GDIPlus_BrushCreateSolid($iARGB)
	Local $hFormat = _GDIPlus_StringFormatCreate($iFormat)
	Local $hFamily = _GDIPlus_FontFamilyCreate($sFont)
	Local $hFont = _GDIPlus_FontCreate($hFamily, $fSize)
	Local $tLayout = _GDIPlus_RectFCreate($nX, $nY, 0.0, 0.0)
	Local $aInfo = _GDIPlus_GraphicsMeasureString($hGraphics, $sString, $hFont, $tLayout, $hFormat)
	If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, 0)
	Local $aResult = _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawStringEx($hGraphics, $sString, $hFont, $aInfo[0], $hFormat, $hBrush)
	Local $iError = @error, $iExtended = @extended
	_GDIPlus_FontDispose($hFont)
	_GDIPlus_FontFamilyDispose($hFamily)
	_GDIPlus_StringFormatDispose($hFormat)
	_GDIPlus_BrushDispose($hBrush)
	Return SetError($iError, $iExtended, $aResult)
EndFunc   ;==>_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawString

comment:2 Changed 3 years ago by Jpm

Hi,
Do you understand why it is working only if alpha channel is set to FF
0XFF0000 does not work with the AutoIt Example

comment:3 Changed 3 years ago by argumentum

yes. I only added the default for _GDIPlus_BrushCreateSolid(), and this function calls for it.
In my testing below, it shows to work with Alpha other than FF

#include <GDIPlus.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $hGUI, $hGraphic

    ; Create GUI
    $hGUI = GUICreate("GDI+", 400, 300)

    ; Draw a string
    _GDIPlus_Startup()
    $hGraphic = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND($hGUI)
    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawString_wColor($hGraphic, "Hello world", 140, 110, "Arial", 10, 0, 0x33006600)
	Sleep(1000)

comment:4 Changed 3 years ago by Jpm

Thanks,
so I think If alpha = 0 then we need to force alpha = 0xff

right?

comment:5 Changed 3 years ago by argumentum

All "Brush" in GDIplus use ARGB. It should not be a "got ya".
The function can exclude the Alpha aspect altogether and pass a $iRGB, but the extra $iARGB is from _GDIPlus_BrushCreateSolid().
On the other hand, an alpha of 0x00 is like .. will show nothing. So adding the 0xFF would aid a scripter that did not read the included help ( that by then will have a use example ).

I vote for "no alpha force" to keep it in line with _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawStringEx() where the _GDIPlus_BrushCreateSolid() calls for ARGB.

comment:6 Changed 3 years ago by argumentum

...actually my request is because I use https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/files/file/489-my-fine-tuned-high-contrast-theme/ and I don't have black as default text, so, to have a proper default we'd have to lookup the default color by If $iARGB = Default Then $iARGB = _WinAPI_SwitchColor(_WinAPI_GetSysColor($COLOR_WINDOWTEXT)) + 0xFF000000 so the modified example is

#include <GDIPlus.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WinAPISysWin.au3>
#include <WinAPIGdi.au3>
#include <WinAPISysWin.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

..also, to avoid all those #include, this next example may be a better fit

#include <GDIPlus.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
;~ #include <WinAPISysWin.au3>
;~ #include <WinAPIGdi.au3>
;~ #include <WinAPISysWin.au3>

by adding GDIPlus_GetSysColor() as an internal function.
