Fixes:

1.8.2012.2600b

• Add -> _GUICtrlPic_Release() to remove image and frees memory used by the control without deleting it!
• Add -> Internal function __GRP_WM_DESTROY(), reason: If the window is closed, ensures that the memory is released if the control has not been deleted by _GUICtrlPic_Delete() function!
• FIX -> You can use the native function GUICtrlDelete() to delete a control from _GUICtrlPic_Create()!
• FIX -> _GUICtrlPic_SetImage() did not remove the previous image, thanks to Belini.

1.8.0312.2600b

• 03/08/2012 -> Now you can use the function _GUICtrlPic_SetImage() in the following static controls: GUICtrlCreatePic() or GUICtrlCreateLabel()!

1.7.2912.2600b

• 29/07/2012 -> Added new function: _GUICtrlPic_GetInfo()!

  Now first build a list / array of image frames to speed up drawing!

  Resize the picture with quality, thanks to the asdf8 at

  Some bugs were corrected and the UDF has been optimized for more faster execution, thanks to Belini!

1.7.2012.2600b

• 20/07/2012 -> Some bugs were corrected and the UDF has been optimized for faster execution!

1.07b

• 07/07/2012 -> The UDF has been completely rewritten, now uses GDI+ to render the images.

  Based on http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ViewDownloads.aspx?aid=1776 and Prog@ndy work concept!

  Styles and ExStyles:

  ;----> State

  $GUI_GIFSTART ; If image is GIF animated, start/resume animation!

  $GUI_GIFSTOP ; If image is GIF animated, stop/pause animation!

  ;----> Style (GIS = Gif Image Styles)

  $GIS_ASPECTRATIOFIX ; Fix the image size based on aspect ratio.

  $GIS_HALFTRANSPARENCY ; The images are rendered with the window background color. This Style is default.

  $GIS_FULLTRANSPARENCY ; The frames are rendered in full transparency independent of the background color of the window! Note: This Style consumes more CPU because the exstyle $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT is added to each frame in real time! Not valid if the image does not have transparency!

  ;----> Default Style to _GUICtrlPic_Create()!

  $GIS_SS_DEFAULT_PIC = BitOR($GIS_HALFTRANSPARENCY, $SS_NOTIFY)

  ;----> ExStyle (GIS_EX = Gif Image Extended Styles)

  $GIS_EX_DEFAULTRENDER ; To use _GUIImageList_Draw in rendering of images, use less CPU. This ExStyle is default!

  $GIS_EX_CTRLSNDRENDER ; The frames is render using GUICtrlSendMsg, but consumes much more CPU!!! Note: If you use this ExStyle, only $GRP_FULLTRANSPARENCY is used for rendering images!

1.02b

• 09/05/2012 -> After updating the code, the images with transparency were not being shown as they should, changed code again!
• 09/05/2012 -> Fixes in the _GUICtrlPic_SetImage() function, the measures were not being updated according to the parameter FixSiz , identified by @Belini, thank you!

João Carlos.

Wonderful.

Tank you very much.

Thank's, some add/modifications will be soon...

[Tlem]

Re-edit your code line 324. You have wrote :

Return Return StringTrimLeft($sGetSysColor, 4) & StringTrimLeft(StringTrimRight($sGetSysColor, 2), 2) & StringTrimRight($sGetSysColor, 4)

2x Return make an error in Scite. >_<

[JScript]

Hi!

The UDF has been updated in 2012/03/23!

With example included...

[Belini]

It will be very helpful for me, thanks for sharing.

[JScript]

The UDF has been completely rewritten, bug fixes and is more stable!

Regards,

João Carlos.

[JScript]

Now the UDF uses GDI+ to render the images!

Based on http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ViewDownloads.aspx?aid=1776 and Prog@ndy work concept.

Very low CPU usage, in most case uses 0%!!!

Gif with 720x305x24fps uses 0,12% (Core i7)

João Carlos.

Can I use GuiCtrlDelete to delete control create with this udf?

[JScript]

Yes and no, the correct is use _GUICtrlPic_Delete (ControlID) function!

Other built-in functions can be used.

Edit: If you add the following code at the end of __GRP_DrawFrame() function, you can delete using the native function.

In which case the memory will be safely released!

If Not GUICtrlGetHandle($avGRP_CTRLIDS[$iIndex][0]) Then
; If image is GIF animated...
__GRP_ReleaseGIF($iIndex)
EndIf

Regards,

João Carlos.

Hi,

I liked this job. Slightly changed it for yourself.

Changes:

- improved use as UDF

- slightly modified to work with resource files

_GUIResourcePic.zip

[JScript]

Cool, I'm very glad you liked it!

But looking at what you did, I did not see anything that no longer exist in the UDF!

You said:

- improved use as UDF

Ok, I liked

And:

- slightly modified to work with resource files

But the UDF has already work with resources, see:

; For the "resources", use the "FileName" in this format: "MyFile.ext|RessourceName|ResourceType".

In any case, thank you for the improvements!

Regards,

João Carlos.

JScript,

may make sense to change the format for "resources" :

; For the "resources", use the "FileName" in this format: "RessourceName|[RessourceFile = 0[|ResourceType = 10]]".

[JScript]

I really liked the idea, I'll make the changes and testing, when I finish I'll show you!

Thanks!

Regards,

João Carlos.

There is a problem - a low quality of the scaled images, and, herewith, for the animation greatly increases the CPU.
