Transparent labels

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I know there are many articles on creating labels that are transparent, because I have spent a few hours reading them. However, I am not able to figure this out still and I am hoping for a bit of help/guidance.

I want the $lblMain variable, which is a label to have a transparent background. I am not able to get this though.

Here is my code:

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GUIListBox.au3>
#include <ProgressConstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <FontConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPIEx.au3>

#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$mainForm = GUICreate("System Testing", 524, 212, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP);,BitAND($WS_EX_TRANSPARENT,$WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE))
$btnStaff = GUICtrlCreateButton("Staff", 8, 40, 161, 161)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 24, 800, 0, "Arial")
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x00FFFF)
$btnExit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 354, 40, 161, 161)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 24, 800, 0, "Arial")
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x00FFFF)
$btnStudents = GUICtrlCreateButton("Students", 181, 40, 161, 161)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 24, 800, 0, "Arial")
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0xFFFFFF)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x00FFFF)
$lblMain = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Please choose the type of user that this test is designed for.", 8, 10, 440, 24,"",BitOR($GUI_WS_EX_PARENTDRAG,$WS_EX_TRANSPARENT))
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 16, 400, 0, "Arial")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$mainForm)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

If $nHwnd = 0 then Return SetError(1,4,0)
$a = DllCall("User32.dll", "hwnd", "SetParent", "hwnd", $hWnd, "hwnd", $nHwnd);change the parent of the control to the new gui
If $a[0] = 0 then Return SetError(1,5,0)
If NOT ControlMove($nHwnd,'',$hWnd,0,0) then Return SetError(1,6,-1);Move the control to 0,0 of the newly created child gui
GUISetState(@SW_Show,$nHwnd);show the new child gui

WinSetTrans($nHwnd,"",$iTrans);set the transparency
