Gui only with CloseBox, not Resizable, with Gif without Transparency

[Raik]

GUICreate("Title", 300, 300,-1,-1,$WS_SYSMENU)
$image = GUICtrlCreatePic("1.gif", 175, 20, 30, 30)
....
GUICtrlSetImage($image,"2.gif")
....
GUICtrlSetImage($image,"3.gif")

i want a nonresizable gui with only a closebox and a pic, to show statuschange.

i have removed the alpha-chanel from the gifs, saved them as bitmaps, but nothing helps.

even with bitmaps instead of gifs i get transparent areas inside the pic and the new image does not replace the before but will be drawn (partialy transparent ) on top of it, so parts of the before image will stay visible.

how may i remove this behavior (the transparency)?

help states:

GUICtrlCreatePic

To have a transparent picture it is needed to create the GUI window with WS_EX_LAYERED extended style.

but i have not set extended style.

Could you post some small example code which we can run and which lets us see the problem, with a sample image?

Opt("GUIOnEventMode",1)
Gui()
Func Gui()
    Local $msg
    GUICreate("", 300, 300)
    GUISetOnEvent(-3, "End")
        Global $status_image = GUICtrlCreatePic("noShock.bmp", 10, 10, 32, 32)
        GUICtrlCreatePic("noShock.bmp", 10, 45, 32, 32)
        GUICtrlCreatePic("stopped.bmp", 10, 80, 32, 32)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
EndFunc

While 1
    Sleep(1000)
    GUICtrlSetImage($status_image,"stopped.bmp")
    Sleep(1000)
    GUICtrlSetImage($status_image,"noShock.bmp")
WEnd

Func End()
    GUIDelete()
    Exit
EndFunc

stopped.bmp

noShock.bmp

You can clear the picture quickly just before you change it!

While 1
    GUICtrlSetImage($status_image, "stopped.bmp")
    Sleep(1000)
    GUICtrlSetImage($status_image, "")
    GUICtrlSetImage($status_image, "noShock.bmp")
    Sleep(1000)
    GUICtrlSetImage($status_image, "")
WEnd

If you do not want to change the current picture create a label under it with it's own colour:

$Stat_Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("    ",10, 10,32,32)
    GUICtrlSetBKColor($Stat_Label, 0xFF0001)

as a workaround, ok

but still the question is, why is this behavior without the necessary extended style parameters ($WS_EX_LAYERED)? and why transparency with bitmaps???

is it my fail or a bug in autoit?

btw. i have found another way: i use icons. but the question remains.

Edit: typos
