AcidUser Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Hello all! I'm trying to imitate "Tooltip" window using GuiCreate function. "Tooltip" has an option for title, but if I use "WS_CAPTION" for GuiCreate it automatically draws border around window. I want to make visible only title without any border. Is there any way to implement title for GuiCreate to look like a Tooltip title ? Thank you in advance! Here is the code: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <ButtonConstants.au3> #include <GuiMenu.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> $WINDOW_TITLE = "Adobe Reader 10.1.1 installation:" $Form1 = GUICreate($WINDOW_TITLE, @DesktopWidth/5, @DesktopHeight/8, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOPMOST) $size = WinGetClientSize($Form1) ;$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", ($size[0]/4), $size[1]-($size[1]/4), $size[0]/2, $size[1]/8,BitOR($BS_CENTER,$BS_FLAT)) $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", ($size[0]/4), $size[1]-($size[1]/4), $size[0]/2, -1,BitOR($BS_CENTER,$BS_FLAT)) GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_NOFOCUS) GUICtrlSetResizing($Button1,$GUI_DOCKALL) $Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("1", 1, 1, 1, 1,BitOR($BS_CENTER,$BS_FLAT)) GUICtrlSetState($Button2,@SW_HIDE) GUICtrlSetState($Button2,$GUI_FOCUS) GUICtrlSetBkColor($Button1,0xFFEC8B) GUICtrlSetStyle($Form1,$WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE) GUISetBkColor(0xFFEC8B) GUIRegisterMsg($WM_SYSCOMMAND, "On_WM_SYSCOMMAND") GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $Button1 Exit EndSwitch WEnd Func On_WM_SYSCOMMAND($hWnd, $Msg, $wParam, $lParam) If BitAND($wParam, 0xFFF0) = $SC_MOVE Then Return False Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG EndFunc
Moderators Melba23 Posted November 22, 2011 Moderators Posted November 22, 2011 AcidUser,If you look at my Toast UDF (link in my sig) you will see that I create a label to act as the title bar within the Toast GUI which has the $WS_POPUPWINDOW and $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW styles to get rid of the border. Not quite what you wanted to know, but shows you are not alone in having problems in finding out how do it!

AcidUser Posted November 22, 2011 Author Posted November 22, 2011 Hi Melba! Thank you for the tip! I added the following code snippet to my project: $iTitle_Height = 20 Global $aRet = DllCall("User32.dll", "int", "GetSysColor", "int", 8) ; $COLOR_WINDOWTEXT = 8 Global $iToast_Header_BkCol = $aRet[0] $aRet = DllCall("User32.dll", "int", "GetSysColor", "int", 5) ; $COLOR_WINDOW = 5 Global $iToast_Header_Col = $aRet[0] GUICtrlCreateLabel("blablabla", 20, 0, @DesktopWidth/5, $iTitle_Height, 0x0200) ; $SS_CENTERIMAGE GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1,$iToast_Header_BkCol) GUICtrlSetColor(-1, $iToast_Header_Col) but the Title-bar is coloured black. I expected it will take default Title-bar setting (like default blue) Am I doing something wrong?
Moderators Melba23 Posted November 22, 2011 Moderators Posted November 22, 2011 AcidUser,Those DLLCalls get the default colours for the text and background of a standard window. On my system that usually means 0x000000 (black) for the text and 0xFEFEFE (nearly white) for the background. I reversed these colours for the default "title" label to make it stand out, but there is no reason not to use other colours - as you can in the UDF bu using the _ExtMsgBoxSet function.Just assign the colours you want to the $iToast_Header_BkCol and $iToast_Header_BkCol variables - then your "title" label will be in the colours you wish. All clear?

AcidUser Posted November 22, 2011 Author Posted November 22, 2011 I wanted not to set colours that I like, but rather take default system colour for window's title.I don't understand why these DLL calls return Black for Windows title and White for text: Global $aRet = DllCall("User32.dll", "int", "GetSysColor", "int", $COLOR_WINDOWTEXT) ; $COLOR_WINDOWTEXT = 8 Global $iToast_Header_BkCol = $aRet[0] $aRet = DllCall("User32.dll", "int", "GetSysColor", "int", $COLOR_WINDOW) ; $COLOR_WINDOW = 5 Global $iToast_Header_Col = $aRet[0]as I run on Windows 7 and Windows XP and on both machines the default colour is be "blue".Would not it suppose to take a default colour?... wait, I found that changing "$COLOR_WINDOWTEXT" to "$COLOR_ACTIVECAPTION" is almost what I wantedTook from here: http://code.google.com/p/autoit-cn/source/browse/trunk/Include/WindowsConstants.au3?r=669The problem is that it sets incorrect colour, instead of blue it sets dark red.Maybe it's required to mess with colour schemes or something like this?
Moderators Melba23 Posted November 22, 2011 Moderators Posted November 22, 2011 AcidUser,The system colour constants are also found in the Help file for _WinAPI_GetSysColor. Maybe it's required to mess with colour schemes or something like this?No idea - you should get what the user has selected in the Windows appearance dialog.

Moderators Melba23 Posted November 22, 2011 Moderators Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) AcidUser, Any ideas, why this might happen?Yes. The DllCall returns the BGR value of the colour - we need to convert it to RGB like this: Global $aRet = DllCall("User32.dll", "int", "GetSysColor", "int", $COLOR_HIGHLIGHT) $iColor = Hex($aRet[0], 6) Global $iToast_Header_BkCol = '0x' & StringMid($iColor, 5, 2) & StringMid($iColor, 3, 2) & StringMid($iColor, 1, 2) And something similar for the other call. Now you will get the proper colour. Thanks for pointing it out - I may have to amend the UDF now! M23 Edit: The plot thickens - it seems the DLLCall should return the RGB colour. I will explore further tomorrow.
