Vision 0 Posted December 22, 2010 hello! im trying to make my gui transparent but i want just the background transparent not the controls so Winsettrans will not work in my way. i found in the help files _WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes but it has no effect in my script, in the example it works good anyone knows why? here is my "test" script expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <ButtonConstants.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <WINAPI.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <GuiButton.au3> #include <GuiImageList.au3> Global $Cursor1, $Button1 $gui = GUICreate("Test", 300, 200, -1, -1) GUISetStyle($WS_POPUP, -1, $gui) ; NO BORDERS $label = GUICtrlCreateButton("test", 30, 50, 50, 120, $BS_BITMAP) $cursor = GUIGetCursorInfo() _WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes($gui, 0xABCDEF,255) ; <-- Why this dont make the window transparent? GUISetState() AdlibRegister("_Hover_Label") Func _Hover_Label() $pos = GUIGetCursorInfo() If $pos[4] = $label Then _GUICtrlButton_SetSize($label, 50, 120) Else _GUICtrlButton_SetSize($label, 20, 100) EndIf EndFunc While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $Button1 EndSwitch WEnd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melba23 3,452 Posted December 22, 2010 Vision,Firstly you need to set the $WS_EX_LAYERED extended style.Secondly, you need to set the GUI background to the colour you later make transparent.So you end up with this (look for the <<<<<<<<< lines):expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <ButtonConstants.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <WINAPI.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <GuiButton.au3> #include <GuiImageList.au3> Global $Cursor1, $Button1 $gui = GUICreate("Test", 300, 200, -1, -1) GUISetBkColor(0xABCDEF) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< GUISetStyle($WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_LAYERED, $gui) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< $label = GUICtrlCreateButton("test", 30, 50, 50, 120, $BS_BITMAP) $cursor = GUIGetCursorInfo() _WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes($gui, 0xABCDEF,255) ; <-- It does now! <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< GUISetState() AdlibRegister("_Hover_Label") Func _Hover_Label() $pos = GUIGetCursorInfo() If $pos[4] = $label Then _GUICtrlButton_SetSize($label, 50, 120) Else _GUICtrlButton_SetSize($label, 20, 100) EndIf EndFunc While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $Button1 EndSwitch WEndAll clear?

Vision 0 Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) perfect! thanks much (would be good if this "trick" would be in the help file^^) one additional mini question can yo give me a tip how i can fix that the program crashes when i click something outside the program? the array returned from GUIGetCursorInfo() does a critical ERROR Edited December 22, 2010 by Vision Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smashly 12 Posted December 22, 2010 Hi, Func _Hover_Label() $pos = GUIGetCursorInfo() If IsArray($pos) And $pos[4] = $label Then _GUICtrlButton_SetSize($label, 50, 120) Else _GUICtrlButton_SetSize($label, 20, 100) EndIf EndFunc Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
