xroot Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 My Makeskin.dll is simple to use. Call it with the GUICreate handle, and string pointer of your bmp. It returns the handle of the bmp. If your bmp's are bigger than default(400) width,height then change it from -1 in GUICreate. To make your BMP's work, all you have to do is set a color for the mask. A color not in the BMP. Look at the 3 BMP's I changed. Two of them have magenta other has grey color mask. Run the sample program, it will give you the idea on what you can do.sskins.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picea892 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Oh, that is very nice, very simple. That beats using a layered window or clipping controls or shaping GUIs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Melba23 Posted February 15, 2010 Moderators Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) xroot, Nice job with the DLL. But I thought I would point out to less-experienced forum members that you do not have to use it to get shaped GUIs. AutoIt can produce GUIs directly from BMPs using only built-in commands (I have used the BMPs you included in your zip): expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <SendMessage.au3> Global Const $SC_DRAGMOVE = 0xF012 Global $aSize[2], $aImages[3][7] = [["\Pen.bmp", 323, 382, 230, 300, 25, 295], _ ["\fbi.bmp", 340, 400, 255, 368, 50, 368], _ ["\kkitty.bmp", 452, 400, 222, 284, 0, 0]] For $i = 0 To 2 _GUI_Image($i) Next Exit Func _GUI_Image($i) Local $hTestButton Local $hGUI = GUICreate("No DLL Required", $aImages[$i][1], $aImages[$i][2], -1, -1, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_LAYERED) GUICtrlCreatePic(@ScriptDir & $aImages[$i][0], 0, 0, $aImages[$i][1], $aImages[$i][2]) GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE) If $i < 2 Then $hTestButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Next BMP", $aImages[$i][5], $aImages[$i][6], 70, 30) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 800, 0, "Arial") Else $hTestButton = 9999 EndIf Local $hExitButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("E x i t", $aImages[$i][3], $aImages[$i][4], 55, 25, 1) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 800, 0, "Arial") GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $hExitButton Exit Case $hTestButton MsgBox(0, "Next", "Next GUI ready when you are!") GUIDelete($hGUI) ExitLoop Case $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN _SendMessage($hGUI, $WM_SYSCOMMAND, $SC_DRAGMOVE, 0) EndSwitch WEnd EndFunc I hard-coded the BMP size (which you could get through GDI) and the positions of the buttons to make the script easier to loop. Anyway, nice work with the DLL - looking forward to your next project. M23 Edit: To clarify that I was only offering an alternative solution, not criticizing the OP's work in any way.

picea892 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 But it's not clipped like xroots is....I see value here even if you don't. Change this line in your script and you'll see what I mean $hTestButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Next BMP", 0, 0, 70, 30) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted February 15, 2010 Moderators Share Posted February 15, 2010 picea892, Very true. But, as I hoped you noticed, I was very careful not to criticise or belittle xroot's work. I was merely offering another way to produce essentially the same result - without the need for an external DLL or the (relatively short) delay while it does its magic. My only purpose was to show some of the less experienced members here that the external DLL method was not the only way to go about producing a shaped GUI and that there are often many solutions to a given problem. .

picea892 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 My mistake. Reread your comment and you weren't being critical just giving an alternative.....and a very good alternative may I add. Have a good day Picea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xroot Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Melba23, I was not offended by your example, the funny thing is I had done what you did but got frustrated not getting things to work properly, so I created the Dll. Here is what I was working on before I made the Dll. When I use the Pic control the GUI ignores the WS_EX_LAYERED, if I use Button control then no transparency no blending. Anyway, thanks for your input. expandcollapse popupGlobal Const $WM_POPUP=0x80000000 Global Const $WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT=0x00010000 Global Const $GUI_WS_EX_PARENTDRAG=0x00100000 Global Const $WS_EX_LAYERED=0x00080000 Global Const $GUI_DISABLE=128 Global Const $BS_BITMAP=0x0081 Global Const $TRANSPARENT=-2 Global Const $LR_LOADFROMFILE=16 Func Get_WH($iFile,$iType=0) Local $BM=DllStructCreate("int;int;int;int;word;word;ptr") Local $ret=DllCall("user32.dll","hwnd","LoadImage","hwnd",0, _ "str",$iFile, _ "int",$iType, _ ;1=IMAGE_ICON 0=Bmp "int",0, _ "int",0, _ "int",$LR_LOADFROMFILE) DllCall("GDI32.dll","int","GetObject","hwnd",$ret[0], _ "int",DllStructGetSize($BM), _ "ptr",DllStructGetPtr($BM)) Global $W=DllStructGetData($BM,2) Global $H=DllStructGetData($BM,3) $BM=0 Return EndFunc Local $BG="C:\My Documents\Images\Skins\face.bmp" Local $ExitBmp="C:\My Documents\Images\exit.bmp" Local $xBmp="C:\My Documents\Images\Buttons\XU.bmp" Local $MinBmp="C:\My Documents\Images\Buttons\MinU.bmp" Get_WH($BG) $hWnd=GUICreate("***",$W,$H,-1,-1,$WM_POPUP,$WS_EX_LAYERED+$WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT) $mBG=GUICtrlCreatePic($BG,0,0,$W,$H) GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE) Get_WH($xBmp) ;$X=GUICtrlCreateButton("",434,9,$W,$H,$BS_BITMAP) ; This works but ugly.
