Is it Possible to . .

[sebgg]

Hi all,

Is it possible to make a window that will ignore all user input, I have had a search and found the blockinput() fucntion but this seems to be for the whole computer not a given window.

Anything stupid im missing here?

Thanks in advance

@Sebs - Do you have an Example of the window?

[sebgg]

@JohnOne

that looks perfect thanks

and @JoHanatCent i was thinking of a gui if it matters or if there is a different way to do it?

basically id like a gui to be over something, but if keystrokes are sent they ignore the gui and hit the next window down.

Perhaps creating a transparent empty label control across the whole gui would have a desired effect.

this doesent seem to work, any keys sent to gui just do nothing if its blocked separately, and dont fall to the next window down.

potentially some kind of awkward control send would work? and just always keep the gui on top of everything.

_WinAPI_SetWindowLong($hGui, -20, BitOR(_WinAPI_GetWindowLong($hGui, -20), 0x00000020)) ; disable user intput

_WinAPI_SetWindowLong($hGui, -20, BitOR(_WinAPI_GetWindowLong($hGui, -20), 0x00000020)) ; disable user intput

cheers,

this is what I ended up with as a proof of concept, incase any 1 needs in the future.

almost entirley not my work just ripped from someone else script, so thanks to them ;looks like same place you got your bit shaggi, and ty all for help

That code snippet is actually from a diablo hack called Au.Map i wrote:

;##################################################
;~ GUI
;##################################################
If $Xp Then
    $hGUI = GUICreate("Au.Map", $pos[2] - 10, $pos[3] - 54, $pos[0], $pos[1], -1, BitOR($WS_EX_TOPMOST, $WS_EX_LAYERED))
Else
    $hGUI = GUICreate("Au.Map", $pos[2] - 10, $pos[3] - 54, $pos[0] + 2, $pos[1] + 24, -1, BitOR($WS_EX_TOPMOST, $WS_EX_LAYERED))
Endif
GUISetBkColor(0xABCDEF) ; make gui bk color transparant
_WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes($hGUI, 0xABCDEF, $trans_Line) ; set transparancy
_WinAPI_SetWindowLong($hGUI, -20, BitOR(_WinAPI_GetWindowLong($hGUI, -20), 0x00000020)) ; disable user intput
GUISetStyle($WS_POPUP, -1, $hGUI) ;make gui borderless
GUIRegisterMsg($WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED,"ChildSizing") ;Call sizing functions for child windows
_GDIPlus_Startup() ; initiate graphical library

So technically, i was the author Edited August 17, 2011 by Shaggi
