This is a place to post GUI examples that other users may find interesting. Try to code clearly and concisely please for example DON'T USE MAGIC NUMBERS!

Splash Screen:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <SendMessage.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Global Const $SC_DRAGMOVE = 0xF012

Example() ; Idea by prizm1

Func Example()
    Local $iHeight = 250, $iWidth = 400

    Local $hGUI = GUICreate('', $iWidth, $iHeight, Default, Default, BitOR($WS_POPUP, $WS_BORDER), $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
    GUICtrlCreateGroup('', 0, -5, $iWidth, $iHeight + 5, $WS_THICKFRAME)
    GUICtrlCreateGroup('', -99, -99, 1, 1)
    Local $iClose = GUICtrlCreateButton('Close', $iWidth - 100, $iHeight - 40, 85, 25)

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)

    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $iClose
                ExitLoop

PlayHD,

Just looking at your code what is -3? A label?

@guinness -3 is $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Example:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
MsgBox(0,0,$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE)

Please refrain from using magic numbers when posting examples in the Forum, as I said above the code should be clear and concise.

One of my own favourite designs is Resources to run the program are in the zip file attached to the first post in the linked to thread. The idea was to hide all the controls and avoid making its operation obvious. This is generally a bad idea, but this is not true in this particular case. While there have been no comments, I think it's a cool design, especially the background image. It also has one or two 'unique' features. :)

Controls only appear when you mouse over them.

Not exactly obvious now is it? :blink:

This is an "exit splash". I stripped all the stuff from the GUI because they're boring work items.

The point is: on exit.

Livening-up work items needs to be subtle.

WinSetOnTop("gui", "", 1)
$movePatch = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 1, @DesktopHeight * .925 * .5, 78, 40)
GUICtrlSetBkColor($movePatch, 0x302030)
GUICtrlSetTip($movePatch, "hold here to move")

Thank you for these examples. How about an example of a floating, non-focusing toolbar please.

I still can't believe how I got so lucky with this arrangement, which caters for all printable win-1252 codepage extended ascii characters. Only 70 keys being required: filling exactly 5 rows of 14 keys. Talk about serendipity, or what! :D

Please refrain from using magic numbers when posting examples in the Forum

There is only one exception to this: That is when the required constant is missing from the includes library. Edited by czardas

True, but that put it in a comment of what it should be e.g.

0xFF0 ; WM_SOMETHING or MSG_OKCANCEL

Here are 2 examples of using transparency in a GUI. The first uses a background image that is used to display an oval shaped GUI and controls on top of it. It's just a basic one color oval, but you can use anything in it's place to make a GUI of any shape, as long as the background has a consistent single color to be used for the transparent color.

The second is a GUI that is nearly fully transparent except for the label text. This example also shows how to use a label as a hyperlink, and a label that can be used to drag a GUI around like a title bar.

You will need the files in the attached zip to see these in action, extract them to the same folder that the script is being run from.

You can use files other than BMP files, but they won't look as good because of artifacting due to image compression. A PNG should/might work as well, I haven't tried that yet.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.
