The following script, thanks largely to @UEZ, displays the attached PNG image on the Windows Desktop. It perfectly renders the sticky note's shadow over whatever's in the background. But here's the catch: I would like to add a line of text, fetched from a variable and using a font of my choice, atop the sticky note. It needs to be part of the same GUI because the sticky note can be dragged and placed anywhere on the screen. Will someone here show me how to add just the additional code needed to accomplish my goal? I have tried sporadically for two years to merge in code from scripts that use GDI+ calls to display text over alpha channels but the challenge has proven beyond me. #include <ButtonConstants.au3> #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> #include <StructureConstants.au3> #include <WinAPIConstants.au3> #include <GDIPlus.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <WinAPISysWin.au3> _GDIPlus_Startup() Global Const $SC_DRAGMOVE = 0xF012 Global $iW, $iH, $hImage, $hBitmap, $hGUI $hImage = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromFile("Using-Note.png") $hBitmap = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap($hImage) $iW = _GDIPlus_ImageGetWidth($hImage) $iH = _GDIPlus_ImageGetHeight($hImage) $hGUI = GUICreate("", $iW, $iH, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP, BitOR($WS_EX_LAYERED,$WS_EX_TOPMOST)) GUISetState() _WinAPI_BitmapDisplayTransparentInGUI($hBitmap, $hGUI) GUIRegisterMsg($WM_LBUTTONDOWN, "_WM_LBUTTONDOWN") Do Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hBitmap) _GDIPlus_BitmapDispose($hImage) _GDIPlus_Shutdown() GUIDelete() Func _WinAPI_BitmapDisplayTransparentInGUI(ByRef $hHBitmap, ByRef $hGUI, $iOpacity = 0xFF, $bReleaseGDI = True) If Not BitAND(GUIGetStyle($hGUI)[1], $WS_EX_LAYERED) = $WS_EX_LAYERED Then Return SetError(1, 0, 0) Local $tDim = DllStructCreate($tagBITMAP) If Not _WinAPI_GetObject($hHBitmap, DllStructGetSize($tDim), DllStructGetPtr($tDim)) Then Return SetError(2, 0, 0) Local $tSize = DllStructCreate($tagSIZE), $tSource = DllStructCreate($tagPOINT), $tBlend = DllStructCreate($tagBLENDFUNCTION) Local Const $hScrDC = _WinAPI_GetDC(0), $hMemDC = _WinAPI_CreateCompatibleDC($hScrDC), $hOld = _WinAPI_SelectObject($hMemDC, $hHBitmap) $tSize.X = $tDim.bmWidth $tSize.Y = $tDim.bmHeight $tBlend.Alpha = $iOpacity $tBlend.Format = 1 _WinAPI_UpdateLayeredWindow($hGUI, $hScrDC, 0, DllStructGetPtr($tSize), $hMemDC, DllStructGetPtr($tSource), 0, DllStructGetPtr($tBlend), $ULW_ALPHA) _WinAPI_ReleaseDC(0, $hScrDC) _WinAPI_SelectObject($hMemDC, $hOld) _WinAPI_DeleteDC($hMemDC) If $bReleaseGDI Then _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hHBitmap) Return True EndFunc Func _WM_LBUTTONDOWN($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam) _SendMessage($hGUI, $WM_SYSCOMMAND, $SC_DRAGMOVE, 0) EndFunc ;==>_WM_LBUTTONDOWN

Hi guys, I would like to make a gui borderless viewing a png image with transparent background. pretty much has to be visible only the png image with no background..you have any simple example? Thank's GUICtrlCreatePic still it provides the image with the background...

After UEZ helped me with the Countdown Timer his techniques seemed perfect for displaying individual images with transparency. One thing led to another and here's the resulting script. Download the attached zip file and place the 5 PNG files in the same folder as this script. I did not embed the images in the script, to make the script easier to read and so you can see the actual images used. In my opinion the ultimate next step would be to add the ability to play animated GIFs, still with transparency if that's possible. Enjoy!

It's been long enough since I started looking for a solution, so I post this with a clear conscious. I am developing an application that would render keystrokes and click on the screen, much like KeyCastr on Mac OS. I did this once in the past. Back then I faced with the same problem - making a nice semitransparent window. I solved it by using Adobe AIR for the interface and Visual Basic for the data. VB was the server capturing the keystrokes and mouse events and passing them via TCP over localhost to Adobe AIR (compiled to exe). This solution worked quite ok. I even tried reviving it few hours before posting it with no success. Important note - this is NOT a keylogger, though it shares some core functionality with such application. I do not ask for tips on capturing keyboards events (though if someone could post something useful I'd be grateful). These are some posts that I've found on the forum: https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/137618-two-questions-about-layered-gui/#comment-963975 https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/102961-multiple-png-images-as-gui-elements/ https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/47651-png-as-gui-drop-shadows-curved-edges-you-name-it/ https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/102920-advanced-gui-udf-design/ https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/157841-gui-fun/#comment-1144334 https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/140053-just-the-text/#comment-983400 and even more... The reason for not using an existing application is that there aren't many for windows, they look ugly, and they do not behave the way I need them too. I've tried these approaches, but I'm either to stupid to understand them fully or I'm simply missing something. The main problem that I'm having is having the window transparent and displaying a label with text on top of it. As you know regular controls will not be transparent. I figured out that making a child window (transparent) on top of the parent transparent window might be the solution (I figured it out myself before finding some posts about it so I'm pretty proud of myself :)). Still... even if I do so the text is not anti-aliased and simply looks ugly. I could really use an example code that creates a window that has a PNG as a background with a nice label on top that has drop shadow (two labels? one black for the shadow and one white for the text). The window should also be dragable with a mouse. Here's a video with my old app running (start watching from 0:50): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7fSpZntpfA Here's a similar application called KeyPose: http://jungsbluth.de/magnus/blog/keypose/keypose.html At some point I thought I'd just create a flash object on my window and make it transparent (I've seen this done even back in Windows 98). The difficulty here is that it's not a binary transparency, but a 32bpc one - real, smooth alpha channel like in a PNG, which is what most of the code I've seen is doing. Unfortunately I wasn't able to check that code, because I fail to create the Shockwave.Shockwave.11 object. I've installed the Flash player and the Shockwave player manually, registered the OCX, but no success. TL;DR Honestly - the solution to all my problems and problems other users are having would be replicating the behavior of such apps, that take an SWF and make a windowless EXE out of them. Just take a look at the attached file. Please note that the BG is semi-transparent, the labels are anti-aliased with a drop shadow. This is my old solution using Adobe AIR (Flash). I'd like to replicate that as closely as possible. I really hope some good soul will help me with this. Thank you.

First off, I still learning Autoit, and so hopefully this hasn't been answered before on the forum and I just overlooked it... I've been testing/tinkering/researching and can't seem to code what I want. So I'm hoping that someone here can lend me a hand. I'm trying to come up with a 3-stage, flicker-free, .PNG-based button. I'm also looking for this method to let me tab between one of these buttons and other input fields on the same GUI. Essentially I'm wanting to have a button that shows the typical states (normal, hover, pressed) without flickering. And of course, so I can have multiple buttons on the same GUI too. Has anyone gotten this type of thing to work consistently and care to share some code? I should mention that I did get something to work, but it seems kind of overkill and clunky (it uses child GUIs as buttons). So I'm hoping one of you Autoit gurus have a better, sleeker, solution I can take advantage of. Thanks!

Thanks to the help of a couple forum members I got a web png loaded onto a button. I also want to do this with an image list. *Jump to the last code snippet (Slim Version) if you want to just see what I have so far. Here is a basic example image list that works from locally stored bmp files. I would like to replace the bitmaps with jpegs or png's from the internet: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <GuiImageList.au3> #include <GuiListView.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> Example() Func Example() Local $idListview, $hImage Local $sWow64 = "" If @AutoItX64 Then $sWow64 = "\Wow6432Node" Local $sPath = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE" & $sWow64 & "\AutoIt v3\AutoIt", "InstallDir") & "\Examples\GUI\Advanced\Images" GUICreate("ImageList AddBitmap", 400, 300) $idListview = GUICtrlCreateListView("", 2, 2, 394, 268, BitOR($LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS, $LVS_NOSORTHEADER, $LVS_REPORT)) _GUICtrlListView_SetExtendedListViewStyle($idListview, BitOR($LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT, $LVS_EX_GRIDLINES, $LVS_EX_DOUBLEBUFFER)) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ; Load images $hImage = _GUIImageList_Create(16, 32) _GUIImageList_AddBitmap($hImage, $sPath & "\Red.bmp") _GUICtrlListView_SetImageList($idListview, $hImage, 1) ; Add columns _GUICtrlListView_AddColumn($idListview, "Items", 120) ; Add items _GUICtrlListView_AddItem($idListview, "Item 1", 0) ; Loop until the user exits.

I'm trying to use '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>> but none of the examples work. Mostly, I'm just not seeing any pictures, just nothing, a window with some text but no picture. What am I doing wrong? Do these examples work for anybody else?

I'd like to load a BMP file then change chosen color (0xFF00FF) to transparent and save it as PNG file. I'm using a code from other thread. I've modified it a little, but it still doesn't work.

Identicon.au3 v0.8 A simple UDF to create identicons or visual representations of any hash value. Based on Don Park's original Identicon program. Main features: 3x3 and 4x4 grid patterns.Aside from rotational symmetry there are also checkerboard and Space Invader (mirror symmetry) patterns.Adapted to handle hashes up to SHA512.Save as PNG, JPG, GIF or BMP identicons.Alpha-transparency support for PNG.The UDF and a demo:Identicon.au3 Identicon-Demo.au3 Version 0.8: * Initial public release. To do: * In the checkerboard pattern there is a bias for diamond shapes. * Improve image saving, BMP, GIF and JPG suck, much artifacts and dithering. * Transparency doesn't work with GIF (and BMP?) due to the wrong Bitmap format. * Add some more unique sprite shapes and preferably cap the shape arrays at powers of two as BitAND is faster than a modulus operation.

I know there are snippet threads, but I'd like this one to be specific. I've see quite a few neat GDI+ code snippets (UEZ and Progandy come to mind first) to manipulate, create, etc, and I thought it'd be neat to be able to find them under one thread. I'm going to reserve the next 3 posts because I'm unsure at the moment if it's the "Quote" or "Spoiler" bbcode tags that has the 10 limit. You can link or post the snippets you find or create and I'll title them and put them in the threads for everyone to find. ( Going to have to remember to edit with regular editor! ) Some of these may not have titles, so I may create my own, if the author(s) want(s) a different one, let me know. _GDIPlus_WaterMark.au3 - Author: UEZ - Added: 2012-10-13 - Updated: _GDIPlus_BMPFromMemory – Author UEZ – Added: 2012-10-14 – Updated: Example – Needle Movement (4bit example provided, link to 32bit found in code) – Author: UEZ - Added: 2012-10-14 – Updated:
