Queation about resizing an image in guiCtrlCreatePic

[computergroove]

Here is my program. I want to make the macBackground shrink/stretch to fit the MAC Hovering button. Whenever I do this, the button fails to bring up the MAC.exe program however when the pic is not stretched the program works fine.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
Local $Button1, $b1label, $height, $width, $hPosition, $vPosition
$height = 75
$width = 80
$hPosition = IniRead("Mac.ini", "Desktop Position", "hPosition", "Mac.ini Not Found 100")
$vPosition = IniRead("Mac.ini", "Desktop Position", "vPosition", "Mac.ini Not Found 100")
GUICreate("MAC Hovering Button", $width, $height, $hPosition, $vPosition, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_Exit")
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("MacBackground.jpg", -1, -1)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)
Opt("GUICoordMode", 2)
$b1label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 1, 1, $width, $height, 0x201)
GUICtrlSetBkColor($b1label, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($B1label, "Change")
GUISetState()

While 1
    Sleep(11)
WEnd
Func Change()
    If WinExists("MAC") Then; check to see if the MAC program is already running
        WinActivate("MAC"); makes MAC program active
    Else
        Run('MAC.exe') ; Starts MAC program
    EndIf
EndFunc

Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Exit

My Mac.ini looks like:

[Desktop Position]
hPosition=200
vPosition=200

and here is the MacBackground.jpg ->

I have tried changing:

$Button1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("MacBackground.jpg", -1, -1)

to

$Button1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("MacBackground.jpg", -1, -1, $width, $height)

Is there a way to do this? When I re-size the picture to equal the pixel measurements, the picture stretches and I can only see a small part of it.

Try this: $Button1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("un37K.jpg", 0, 0, $width, $height)

Nope that did not work.

Check out the filename of course! I used the filename as it is in attached pic!

I have the original jpg in my local au3 executing directory. Are you telling me to download the file I just uploaded and rename the file name?

[UEZ]

No,

try this instead: $Button1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("MacBackground.jpg", 0, 0, $width, $height)

I used un37K.jpg instead of MacBackground.jpg as it was uploaded with that name.

The filename shouldn't be the problem!

you can actually get rid of $Button1 since it's no longer being used. The problem isn't that your suggestion has caused a picture not to show up, it shows up fine; it's just that when I have anything after the 0,0, then when the button is clicked nothing happens. When I remove the new data from the line then the program works fine again. Stretching the picture breaks the functionality.

Sorry,

but that code is working for me.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
Local $Button1, $b1label, $height, $width, $hPosition, $vPosition
$height = 75
$width = 80
$hPosition = 200 ;IniRead("Mac.ini", "Desktop Position", "hPosition", "Mac.ini Not Found 100")
$vPosition = 200 ;IniRead("Mac.ini", "Desktop Position", "vPosition", "Mac.ini Not Found 100")
GUICreate("MAC Hovering Button", $width, $height, $hPosition, $vPosition, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_Exit")
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("un37K.jpg", 0, 0, $width, $height)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)
Opt("GUICoordMode", 2)
$b1label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", -1, -1)
GUICtrlSetBkColor($b1label, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($B1label, "Change")
GUISetState()

While 1
    Sleep(11)
WEnd

Func Change()
    ConsoleWrite("huhu")
    If WinExists("MAC") Then; check to see if the MAC program is already running
        WinActivate("MAC"); makes MAC program active
    Else
        Run('MAC.exe') ; Starts MAC program
    EndIf
EndFunc

Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_Exit

It displays the picture properly and when I click on the picture it executes the function change!

I just tried the following and it is working like a charm now. Thanks for the help.

$vPosition = IniRead("Mac.ini", "Desktop Position", "vPosition", "Mac.ini Not Found 100")
GUICreate("MAC Hovering Button", $width, $height, $hPosition, $vPosition, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_Exit")
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)
Opt("GUICoordMode", 2)
$b1label = GUICtrlCreatePic("MacBackground.jpg", 0, 0, $width, $height);GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 1, 1, $width, $height, 0x201)
GUICtrlSetBkColor($b1label, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT);when disabled the box shows up grey (no pic)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($B1label, "Change");when the button is clicked then "change" function is started
GUISetState()
