Dazzler Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 People, I have had no success with the Windowsconstants. I need a tiny, teeny GUI. No minimize, maximise, captions etc. Just a 3 by 3. Failing that. Is it possible to have a GUI where the GUI background is transparent ie anything behind shows through? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Melba23 Posted December 6, 2011 Moderators Share Posted December 6, 2011 Dazzler, Not that difficult: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> HotKeySet("{ESC}", "On_Exit") ; Invisible GUI $hGUI_1 = GUICreate("Invisible", 200, 200, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_LAYERED) GUISetBkColor(0xABCDEF) GUICtrlCreateLabel("Click on the text to drag this transparent GUI" & @CRLF & "Press ESC to exit", 10, 10) _WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes($hGUI_1, 0xABCDEF, 250) GUISetState() ; Very small GUI $hGUI_2 = GUICreate("Small", 3, 3, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP) GUISetBkColor(0xFF0000) ; Colour red so you can see it GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN _SendMessage($hGUI_1, $WM_SYSCOMMAND, 0xF012, 0) EndSwitch WEnd Func On_Exit() Exit EndFunc I would suggest a white background to see them clearly. Is that what you wanted?
