guinness Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) So I have solved the problem with using a 2nd GUI and the $WS_EX_MDICHILD ExStyle, but it's a little bit hacky (if I can use that as an adjective!?) So I was wondering is there a better approach for creating a button with a transparent background, instead of having the default grey border around it?As ever the code is fully working, but I'm just looking for a different if not better approach. Thanks for the help!Note: It should also be note that the GUI is sizable!expandcollapse popup#AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6 #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> _Main_1() ; Traditional Example _Main_2() ; Traditional Example Func _Main_1() Local $hGUI, $iButton $hGUI = GUICreate("_Main() - Before", 255, 40, -1, -1, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX, $WS_SIZEBOX)) GUICtrlCreatePic("C:\Program Files\AutoIt\Examples\GUI\mslogo.jpg", 0, 0, 255, 40) GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKLEFT + $GUI_DOCKSIZE + $GUI_DOCKTOP) GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE) $iButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button", 255 - 70, 5, 65, 20) GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKRIGHT + $GUI_DOCKSIZE + $GUI_DOCKTOP) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop Case $iButton MsgBox(0, "ControlID = " & $iButton, "Button was Pressed!")

guinness Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) Hey thanks for that! But the idea is the GUI is sizable, which is why I didn't want to make the Parent GUI Transparent. Cheers for answering. I edit the OP.

guinness Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) monoscout999 it's OK! The second Example I provided is what I am looking for, but I was hoping for a different approach to it.I guess(not sure) you want a GUI wich can be... ...sizable picking the corners and draggingCorrect.i don´t understand the transparency(?) of your second GUIBecause this allows me to have a button without the Default grey colour.The problem is with GUICtrlCreateButton() you get this little grey line around the button, I tried to find an approach of getting rid of this (which I did) but I was hoping for different variations of my second Function. Does this explain a little better?

monoscout999 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) Because this allows me to have a button without the Default grey colour. Aahhh so you want this... #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> ; i change the size to adapt to my pic $GUI = GUICreate("_Main() - Before", 255, 80, -1, -1,bitor($WS_MAXIMIZEBOX,$WS_MINIMIZEBOX,$WS_SIZEBOX)) GUISetBkColor(0xABCDEF) GUICtrlCreatePic(@scriptdir&"\elitepvp.bmp", 0, 0, 255, 80) ; change the pic because i don´t have what you use GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKLEFT + $GUI_DOCKTOP) GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE) GUISetState() ; Second GUI POP_UP(no borders or caption) midchild(allow to move with the parent GUI) GUICreate("",65,40,0,0,$WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_MDICHILD, $GUI) ; The button is a little outside the 2ndGUI to hide the color borders :) $button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button", -1, -1, 67,42) GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $Button1 MsgBox(0, "ControlID = " & $Button1, "Button was Pressed!") EndSwitch WEnd maybe is another way to do it, because creating a GUI for each button it seems a little bit "crapy!" it works.. but the other way to do it is creating buttons with picboxes and set the mouse event using GUIGetCursorInfo() to give the hover efects and the click effects... i have a tuorial on spanish to do that.. later i translate and put on the forum ^^ EDIT: the custom button can have the shape you want Edited April 25, 2011 by monoscout999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
