Trans

[zeroZshadow]

is it possible, to make a GUI invisible, but the ONLY the window.

so the buttons and all other looks like its floating.

i need this, so i can make a NON square window (using circle as background picture)

thank you.

NOEDIT: typo's

[w0uter]

extended style: $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT

[zeroZshadow]

nop doesn't work (get on msn if you wanna see for urself)

[steveR]

There is, but I seen it done with VB. I don't think it's possible with AI3 because it used RECT region structures.

[zeroZshadow]

can't a use somekind of a winsettrans for ONLY the GUI, not the buttons.

or make a layer or whatever

;Include constants
#include <GUIConstants.au3>

;Create window
GUICreate("title", 300, 20, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT)

;Create an edit box with no text in it
$Edit_1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 0, 0, 300, 20, -1, $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT)

;$n = GUICtrlCreatePic("a.bmp", 0, 0, 400, 400)

;Show window/Make the window visible
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)


While 1
    
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            GUIDelete()
            Exit
    EndSelect
    
WEnd

nice one, thanks, but it still shows the gry

i'll see if this will come in use so thanks anyway.

i think the next autoitversion need more command over its GUI, not for creating stuff, but for controlling and editing.

i made my new little scripto now, but it's still not like i wanted

because i can't click on the window

opt("GUIONEVENTMODE",1)
#include <GUIConstants.au3>

;GUI
GUICreate("title", 300,300,0,0,$WS_POPUP,0x00080020)
$n = GUICtrlCreatePic("Background1.gif",0,0,300,300,-1,0x00000020)
$B = GUICtrlCreateButton("TEST",100,100.50,50,-1,0x00000020)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE,"_Exit")

while 1
Wend

func _exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

and here is the background pic

Hello,

it's not perfect, but with this way, we can push on the button :

opt("GUIONEVENTMODE",1)
#include <GUIConstants.au3>

;GUI
GUICreate("title", 300,300,30,30,$WS_POPUP,$WS_EX_LAYERED)

$B = GUICtrlCreateButton("TEST",100,100.50,50,-1,0x00000020)
GuiCtrlSetOnEvent($B,"hello")
$n = GUICtrlCreatePic("Background1.gif",0,0,300,300,-1,0x00000020)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
GuiCtrlSetState($B,$GUI_FOCUS)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE,"_Exit")

while 1
Wend

func _exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

Func Hello()
    MsgBox(0,"hello","hello")
EndFunc

mm, is this just becouse of the focus?? strange.

but why is it ALWAYS when things get transparent, they can't be clicked?? msnplus has a standard trans funcion, but then you CAN click the stuf, why is it differnt here??

[zeroZshadow]

well if tryed ur script and altered it, but it seems if you focus only one thing, the rest works also, but it looks sooooo ugly

i think the trans REALLY needs to be better, is this possible??

sounds like you might want to put each control in its own separate window(sized the same as the control) then 'lock' thier screen positions together relative to each other.

[zeroZshadow]

well not really, i'm just trying to make a NON square window, by using a picture as GUI shape

[sylvanie]

If you want a non square window for the main GUI, I think that this new script may be satisfactory. (it's nearly the same that above, but I have added some controls, because I have read that it was ugly with several, so tell me if it' s ok now).

expandcollapse popup

opt("GUIONEVENTMODE",1)
#include <GUIConstants.au3>

;GUI
GUICreate("title", 300,300,30,30,$WS_POPUP,$WS_EX_LAYERED)

$B = GUICtrlCreateButton("TEST",100,100,50,50,-1,0x00000020)
GuiCtrlSetOnEvent($B,"hello")
$B2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("quit",200,100,50,50,-1,0x00000020)
GuiCtrlSetOnEvent($B2,"_exit")
$inp=GUICtrlCreateInput("world",150,220,50,20)
$n = GUICtrlCreatePic("Background1.gif",0,0,300,300,-1,0x00000020)
GuiCtrlSetOnEvent($n,"_move")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
GuiCtrlSetState($B,$GUI_FOCUS)
GuiCtrlSetState($B2,$GUI_FOCUS)
GuiCtrlSetState($inp,$GUI_FOCUS)
GuiCtrlSetState($B,$GUI_FOCUS)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE,"_Exit")

while 1
Wend

func _exit()
    Exit
EndFunc

Func Hello()
    MsgBox(0,"hello",GUICtrlRead($inp))
EndFunc

func _move()
    opt("GUIONEVENTMODE",0)
    While _IsPressed('d')=0
        ToolTip ( "move the mouse and press enter to move the window" )
        Sleep(100)
    WEnd
    ToolTip ( "" )
    $pos=MouseGetPos()
    WinMove("title","",$pos[0],$pos[1])
    opt("GUIONEVENTMODE",1)
EndFunc

Func _IsPressed($hexKey)



Local $aR, $bRv
$hexKey = '0x' & $hexKey
$aR = DllCall("user32", "int", "GetAsyncKeyState", "int", $hexKey)

If $aR[0] <> 0 Then
    $bRv = 1
Else
    $bRv = 0
EndIf

Return $bRv
EndFunc

I have added a function to move the window, but I haven't succeded to do a drag and drop ... so if some body may have a better soluce...

Now, if you want to use another pictures like gif to replace the square buttons..., you have to do like Quaizywabbit have said :

opt("GUIONEVENTMODE",1)
#include <GUIConstants.au3>

;GUI
$mother=GUICreate("title", 300,300,130,130,$WS_POPUP,$WS_EX_LAYERED)


$n = GUICtrlCreatePic("Background.gif",0,0,300,300,-1,0x00000020)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
$daughter1=GUICreate("B", 100,100,150,200,$WS_POPUP,$WS_EX_LAYERED,$mother)
$B=GUICtrlCreatePic("test.gif",0,0,100,100)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
$daughter2=GUICreate("B2",100,100, 300,200,$WS_POPUP,$WS_EX_LAYERED,$mother)
$B2=GUICtrlCreatePic("quit.gif",0,0,100,100)
GuiCtrlSetOnEvent($B2,"_exit")
GuiCtrlSetOnEvent($B,"hello")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE,"_Exit")
while 1
Wend

func _exit()
    GUICtrlSetImage ( $B2, "quitinv.gif")
    sleep(100)
    GUICtrlSetImage ( $B2, "quit.gif")
    Exit
EndFunc

Func Hello()
    GUICtrlSetImage ( $B, "testinv.gif")
    sleep(100)
    GUICtrlSetImage ( $B, "test.gif")
    MsgBox(0,"hello","hello"    )
    
EndFunc

I hope that will help you.
