Updates the position, size, shape, content, and translucency of a layered window

#include <WinAPISysWin.au3>
_WinAPI_UpdateLayeredWindow ( $hWnd, $hDestDC, $tPTDest, $tSize, $hSrcDC, $tPTSrce, $iRGB, $tBlend, $iFlags )

Parameters

$hWnd Handle to a layered window. A layered window is created by specifying $WS_EX_LAYERED when creating the window.
$hDestDC Handle to a device context for the screen
$tPTDest A $tagPOINT structure or a pointer to it that specifies the new screen position of the layered window.
If the current position is not changing, this can be zero.
$tSize A $tagSIZE structure or a pointer to it that specifies the new size of the layered window.
If the size of the window is not changing, this can be 0.
$hSrcDC Handle to a device context for the surface that defines the layered window.
This handle can be obtained by calling the _WinAPI_CreateCompatibleDC() function.
$tPTSrce A $tagPOINT structure or a pointer to it that specifies the location of the layer in the device context
$iRGB The color key to be used when composing the layered window
$tBlend A $tagBLENDFUNCTION structure or a pointer to it that specifies the transparency value to be used when composing the layered window.
$iFlags This parameter can be one of the following values.
    $ULW_ALPHA - Use $tblend as the blend function
    $ULW_COLORKEY - Use $iRGB as the transparency color
    $ULW_OPAQUE - Draw an opaque layered window

Return Value

Success: True
Failure: False, call _WinAPI_GetLastError() to get extended error information
