engjcowi Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hey guys Ive been trying to find a way to make my GUI's more attractive. I used to use a program called QMB a few years ago where you could set a picture (in my case it will be the pic of the gui created in photoshop and saved as a jpg) and it would display on its own with no borders. You could then highlight areas and set a command for when they were clicked. I would like ot be able to display a picture on its own. then have empty label boxes (or something that would work) to be set over areas i would like but so that you cannot see them just the main gui pic underneath and then set labelclick to perform the function i want. Anyone got any ideas on the transparent label pls? thanks jamie Drunken Frat-Boy Monkey Garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted May 9, 2011 Moderators Share Posted May 9, 2011 engjcowi, You do nto need labels or buttons - I use Malkey's excellent UDF to register clicks in user-defined shapes to do this - you can find it here. And in case it might come in handy, I do this to get the image to display without a GUI.
