[GDI+] How to do a proper error return for GraphicsSetCompositingMode? [Solved]

[PAEz 1]

I needed this routine for some stuff Im doing and couldnt find an example on the forums so just wrote a function using what Ive seen others do and it works great but Im not sure on how to do the error return value. Like I said it works, but if Im going to have it in my library Id like it to be right

Func _GDIPlus_GraphicsSetCompositingMode($hGraphic,$mode)
Local $aResult = DllCall($ghGDIPDll, "uint", "GdipSetCompositingMode","handle" ,$hGraphic,"int",$mode)
If @error Then Return SetError(@error, @extended, 0)
Return $aResult[0] = 0
EndFunc   ;==>_GDIPlus_GraphicsSetCompositingMode

This function sets the blend mode for graphics image draw commands.

If mode is 0 then the image will be blended according to its alpha.

If mode is 1 then the image will replace what its being drawn on without blending.

It seems fine to me. If you need more GDI functions check the Link in my signature "GDIP.au3"

Can you give an example what this function is doing exactly?

Maybe you can change the return to True or in case of error False

@UEZ I don´t have to much idea but it seems that one mode blends the draw with the background and the other don´t

#include <GDIPlus.au3>

Thanks monoscout999 Ill check out your file.

And yeah thats what it does monoscout999.

Heres my example (you beat me )....

Now your just showing off

and thanks for your help.

[UEZ 1,278]

Thanks for the examples!

_GDIPlus_GraphicsSetCompositingMode() is something like turn on/off alpha channel e.g. from images.
