Order of elements in GUI window

[mkSa 0]

I'm adding a lot of pictures (GUICtrlCreatePic) to one window and I need to be sure that new picture will be over old one. How to do this?

Currently new picture is added below existing one.

mkSa,

Currently new picture is added below existing one

This does not happen when I add picture controls to a GUI. Could you please post your code so we can investigate further.

I'm adding a lot of pictures (GUICtrlCreatePic) to one window and I need to be sure that new picture will be over old one. How to do this?

Currently new picture is added below existing one.

Maybe it isn't really added below, maybe it is just not drawn over the previous ones. Try this

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <WINAPI.au3>
Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Func Example1()
    Local $n, $msg,$gui1, $guiPos, $pic, $picPos, $b
    
    $gui1 = GUICreate("My GUI picture", 350, 300, -1, -1, $WS_SIZEBOX + $WS_SYSMENU) ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

    GUISetBkColor(0xE0FFFF)
    $n = GUICtrlCreatePic(@ProgramFilesDir & "\AutoIt3\Examples\GUI\mslogo.jpg", 50, 50, 200, 50)

    GUISetState()

    ; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed

    GUICtrlSetData($b, "redraw")
    controlmove($gui1,"",$b,0,100)
    GUICtrlCreatePic(@ProgramFilesDir & "\AutoIt3\Examples\GUI\merlin.gif", 90, 20, 0, 0)



    Do
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        If $msg = $b Then
            _WinAPI_InvalidateRect ($gui1)
        EndIf
