Icon over Image

[Fantastic]

Hello to everyone, experts help needed.

Is there any way to draw an Icon over an Image, but image remaining as the background.

If so could the image be as background of a checkbox?

Change this

"D:\commando.jpg"

with an image.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)
Test()

Func Test()
    Local $nMsg1,$Button3

    GUICreate("My gui", 264, 300, -1, -1, $WS_SYSMENU, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
    GUISetBkColor(0xFB11FF)
    GUICtrlCreatePic("D:\commando.jpg", 24, 60, 200, 130)
    GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Test checkbox", 24, 70, 217, 17)
    GUICtrlCreateIcon("shell32.dll", 10, 35, 100)
    $Button3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 65, 230, 107, 33)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    While 1
        $nMsg1 = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $nMsg1 = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                Exit
            Case $nMsg1 = $Button3
                Exit
        EndSelect
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>Test

Fantastic,

For transparent checkboxes look here.

For transparent icons look here.

P.S. Trying "Search" is usually a good idea before posting.

Thank you Melba23.

I'm working on Icons.au3 because I'm using it somewhere. I can't get it working right now because when displaying an image it (the script) uses crop.

As for the checkbox it's over an image so that doesn't work.

Any other ideas/solutions ?

You need to call

GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE)

after GUICtrlCreatePic()

See the helpfile for details.

Hi,

If I want to use a bg image for an icon button's hover state and hide it on rollout,.. how do I detect the rollover when the button is disabled/hidden?

Fantastic,

I have been working on a transparent checkbox for you. How does this look?

It works nicely for me.
