kjpolker Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Ok so I am making a "widget" type program that will just always be open on my desktop and it will get live feed off a website, my first question that should really almost answer all my questions is how would I make my "title image" an image pulled off of the website? so I have a label created and instead of finding an image to use off my computer can I make it a url? I already have the url of the websites icon. After I get that can I make it update every day? so on a 24 hour loop it will re upload the images url in case they change their icon for special days?
FuryCell Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 You can use inetget to pull the image from the url. HKTunes:Softpedia | GoogleCodeLyricToy:Softpedia | GoogleCodeRCTunes:Softpedia | GoogleCodeMichtaToolsProgrammer n. - An ingenious device that turns caffeine into code.
kjpolker Posted October 15, 2009 Author Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) Ok so I got that to work, now is there any way at all I can quickly make the image have a transparent background, so there is not a white block image over my black window? or would the URL I am getting the image from have to have that done?
