[SOLVED] How can I get GDI image handler??

[ALTIN 0]

I want to use PNG images in my program because of their background transparency.

I read help file and im trying to use the example for the GDI+ library.

I need to know when the image is clicked so I must haved an image handler for that.

Is it possible to get the handler of the image created with GDI+ functions? (since even WindowInfo tool does not show any info of the image, I suppose we cant get it)!

However if yes, what should I add in the script below?

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GDIPlus.au3>

_Main()
Func _Main()
    Local $hGUI, $hBMP, $hBitmap, $hGraphic, $hImage, $iX, $iY, $hClone, $t
    Local $pngFile = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt", "InstallDir") _
    & "\Examples\GUI\Advanced\Images\Button.png"
    
    ; Create GUI
    $hGUI = GUICreate("GDI+", 400, 300)
    GUISetState()

    ; Initialize GDI+ library
    _GDIPlus_Startup ()

    ; Draw bitmap to GUI
    $hBitmap = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile ($pngFile)
    $hGraphic = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND ($hGUI)
    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage ($hGraphic, $hBitmap, 0, 0)

    ; Clean up resources
    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose ($hGraphic)
    _GDIPlus_BitmapDispose ($hBitmap)

    ; Shut down GDI+ library
    _GDIPlus_ShutDown ()

    ; Loop until user exits
    Do
    Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
EndFunc ;==>_Main

Any idea around this?

This is a method of creating clickable image "hotspots".

Hi,

Other way is to use picture controls and use GUICtrlSendMsg() to set the picture to the control.

This way you can still use GUIGetMsg() or OnEventMode to catch the clicks.

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GDIPlus.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>

_Main()

Func _Main()
    Local $hGUI, $iPicButton, $hGraphic, $hImage, $hBitmap1, $hGraphic1, $hBMP1, $iMsg
    Local $pngFile = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AutoIt v3\AutoIt", "InstallDir") _
             & "\Examples\GUI\Advanced\Images\Button.png"

    $hGUI = GUICreate("GDI+", 400, 300)
    GUISetBkColor(0x000000, $hGUI)
    $iPicButton = GUICtrlCreatePic("", 10, 10, 82, 36)
    GUISetState()

    _GDIPlus_Startup()

    $hImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile($pngFile)
    $hGraphic = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND($hGUI)

    $hBitmap1 = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromGraphics(82, 36, $hGraphic)
    $hGraphic1 = _GDIPlus_ImageGetGraphicsContext($hBitmap1)
    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect($hGraphic1, $hImage, 11, 145, 82, 36, 0, 0, 82, 36)
    $hBMP1 = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap($hBitmap1)

    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($hGraphic1)
    _GDIPlus_BitmapDispose($hBitmap1)
    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($hGraphic)
    _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage)
    _GDIPlus_Shutdown()

    _WinAPI_DeleteObject(GUICtrlSendMsg($iPicButton, 0x0172, 0, $hBMP1))

    While 1
        $iMsg = GUIGetMsg()
        Switch $iMsg
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hBMP1)
                ExitLoop

Hey Malkey and Smashly thanks very much you both. Both of your examples work great but I think Im going

to use smashly's method just because my head starts spinning when I have to do with DllStructure thing and

it looks simplier to me.

I admit i had thought about doing something similar to smashly's example but that's better anyway.

Thanks you both guys, your help is much appreciated

Call me lazy, but I just use a label (without any text). It is invisible but catch mouse-clicks.

Lol, lazy by the way, in your example when I move the msgbox over the window, it erases the image... how can I prevent this?
