hi guys. i cound't found an answer in the forum so i create a new topic.

My questioin is quite simple : I wante to create a TopMost Windows that doesn't take focus.

In fact, i create an application which runs in background and displays answer like a notification, ie 'Windows Live Messenger', as shown below:

http://usb-online.fr/file-download-c30MTA0Mg.html (Direct link image)

The fast is i want this window to be 'Always on top', but i don't want her to take the focus.

If would be quite simple if i had no controls in my GUI.

Using this code : If i add GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) , then i can use my controls but the GUI take the focus when created.

If i delete this line, then it's perfect, GUI is shown 'top most', doesn't take the focus, but I CAN't INTERACT with my controls.

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", WinGetHandle($gui), "int", 600+4*$h, "long", 0x00040008);Slide In Bottom
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
    $t = TimerInit()
    While (TimerDiff($t) <= $duration*1000) ANd (Not $ExitGui)
        Sleep(10)
    WEnd
    DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", WinGetHandle($gui), "int", 1000, "long", 0x00050004);Slide Out Bottom
    GUIDelete($gui)

Is someone has an idea?

Thx a lot for help,

Tim

There is the full function :

Func Tip($title,$msg,$duration = 8,$icone = 1) ;duration in seconds
    Global $total_width,$total_height,$ExitGui = FALSE
    Local $h = 70, $w = 400 ;Hauteur et Largeur

    ;Maintenant on trouve la hauteur de la barre des taches
    $hMonitor = GetMonitorFromPoint(0, 0)
    If $hMonitor <> 0 Then
        GetMonitorInfos($hMonitor)
    EndIf
    $Nb = StringSplit($msg,@CRLF)
    $h = $h+$Nb[0]*8

    ;On demarre notre fonction
    $gui=GUICreate("",$w,$h,$total_width-$w-4,$total_height-$h+4,0x80880000,$WS_EX_TOPMOST)
    $n2 = GUICtrlCreateIcon("shell32.dll", -28, $w-18, 2, 16, 16)
    GUICtrlSetCursor(-1,3)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1,"ExitGui")

    If $icone = 3 Then
        $icon = GUICtrlCreateIcon("ieframe.dll", -88, 10, 6)
    Else
        $icon = GUICtrlCreateIcon("ieframe.dll", -89, 10, 6)
    EndIf
    GUICtrlCreateLabel($title,50,10,$w-70,20)
    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 14, -1, -1, "Trebuchet MS")


    ;$label = _GuiCtrlTexte_Create(50,40,$w-50,$h-40-20,"white","black","Arial",8)
    ;_GuiCtrlTexte_Write($label,$msg)
    $label=GUICtrlCreateLabel($msg,50,40,$w-50,$h-40-20)
    GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 8, -1, -1, "Arial")

    Global $link=GUICtrlCreateLabel("Cliquez ici pour plus de détails",50,$h-20,$w-50,20)
    GUICtrlSetOnEvent($link,"PlusDeDetails")
    GUICtrlSetCursor($link,5)
    GUICtrlSetColor($link, 0x0000FF)



    DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", WinGetHandle($gui), "int", 600+4*$h, "long", 0x00040008);Slide In Bottom
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
    $t = TimerInit()
    While (TimerDiff($t) <= $duration*1000) ANd (Not $ExitGui)
        Sleep(10)
    WEnd
    DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "AnimateWindow", "hwnd", WinGetHandle($gui), "int", 1000, "long", 0x00050004);Slide Out Bottom
    GUIDelete($gui)
EndFunc

timmalos,

You need to set the GUI state to @SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE initially and then reactivate the previously active GUI when you action a control on yours. :)

This shows how you might do it:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 200, 100)

$hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Press", 60, 40, 80, 30)

WinSetOnTop($hGUI, "", 1)

; Create the GUI but do not activate it
GUISetState(@SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE)

While 1

    ; If our GUI is not active then save the handle of the GUI that is
    If Not WinActive($hGUI) Then
        $hLastActive = WinGetHandle("[ACTIVE]")
    EndIf

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $hButton
            ConsoleWrite("Button pressed!" & @CRLF)
            ; And reactivate the GUI that was just active
            WinActivate($hLastActive)
    EndSwitch

WEnd

Does that help? :mellow:
