Recommended Posts

Hi to all the member of Autoit Community :D

I have searched around the forum but i don't have found a solution

I want to add to every active windows a trasparency, but not to all the windows but only a specific region

For now i have make this:

#include <GuiconstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>
 
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "On_Exit")
 
;~ Local $GUI = WinGetHandle("[ACTIVE]", "")
Local $GUI = GUICreate("trans", 300, 400, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_LAYERED)
_WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes($GUI, 0x010101, 150)
GUISetState()
 
While 1
 Switch GUIGetMsg()
  Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
   ExitLoop
 EndSwitch
WEnd
 
Func On_Exit()
 Exit
EndFunc   ;==>On_Exit

work for the GUI but not for the active external windows.

Some help?

Thanks

It was fun until it lasted, hope on my future way i can't find people that offend without any reason ( i was called lazy and parasitic, and everyone agreed...United we stand, divided we fall ) just for fun because don't have anything to do in the life, without knowing anything about the person who write, noone forced to post, noone forced to help.

From the top of the from their very great superiority they not go down to my level, that people can not spread the knowledge but you have to learn by yourself.

In what way? It's easy...just search on google

For that people, wish you the best way,

I can't test that script, i see only strange character.

As i have say before i want to edit the trasparency of a window (ex. a folder ) but with a zone not-trasparent.

Thanks

Yeah, a sort of.

Maybe it's better to post an image of the result i want to do:

Posted Image

I don't know if the image is clear:

The center of the notepad is visible to 100%

The border of the notepad has a trasparency

So how to apply the trasparency to a notepad, but not total, only the border?

Thanks for your help UEZ ;)

Bump again, noone knows how to do

With WinSetTrans i can add trasparency to a window, but i can't define a region. I'm sure it is possible with _WinAPI_ but my script always fail

Please some help :D

You can see on first post. _WinAPI work with the autoit GUI, but if i load the handle of the external window not work

From _WinAPI help i can load handle:

$hwnd = Handle of GUI to work on

I have try other method but is useless to post it, noone work so i'll make only confusion

work for the GUI but not for the active external windows.

Some help?

For working of the external windows the exstyle should have $WS_EX_LAYERED which is not mandatory

you are only setting your GUI's exstyle..!

My code:

PredictText: Predict Text of an Edit Control Like Scite. Remote Gmail: Execute your Scripts through Gmail. StringRegExp:Share and learn RegExp.

Run As System: A command line wrapper around PSEXEC.exe to execute your apps scripts as System (LSA). Database: An easier approach for _SQ_LITE beginners.

MathsEx: A UDF for Fractions and LCM, GCF/HCF. FloatingText: An UDF for make your text floating. Clipboard Extendor: A clipboard monitoring tool. 

Custom ScrollBar: Scroll Bar made with GDI+, user can use bitmaps instead. RestrictEdit_SRE: Restrict text in an Edit Control through a Regular Expression.

If i add the $WS_EX_LAYERED to the external windows with WinAPI or DLLCall i see the windows without the file bar ( i don't know what is the exatcly name of it ) and isn't trasparent, try by yourself

Simultaneously you cannot set the transparency of any Child control ( win) using SetLayeredWindowsAttributes

the window has to be a Top-Level window. The following script sets windowslayeredattributes if you replace the $hWin with $hCtl you will get a Invalid parameter (87) error code

In the second script i can see finally a trasparency to an external window, thanks :D

About the child control, it's not essential if I can choose a portion to apply the transparency, or isn't possible?

you cannot set the transparency of a part of the window,

it has to be the full top-level window
