I'm trying to display a GIF. However, the GUI should not be visible. Here is an attempt that doesn't work:
$sGIF = "MyGIF.gif" #Include <IE.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <WINAPI.au3> #include <SendMessage.au3> Global Const $SC_DRAGMOVE = 0xF012 HotKeySet("{ESC}", "_Exit") $hGui = GUICreate("Test", 400, 300, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_LAYERED) GUISetBkColor(0xABCDEF) $oIE = _IECreateEmbedded() GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 10, 10, 380, 280) _WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes($hGUI, 0xABCDEF, 250) _IENavigate($oIE, $sGIF) GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN _SendMessage($hGUI, $WM_SYSCOMMAND, $SC_DRAGMOVE, 0) EndSwitch WEnd Func _Exit() Exit

Hey, all.  
I've been looking for a way to change cursor colour but not the cursor itself. I've been looking for a couple hours now and can't find anything.  I also don't even know where to start, if anyone has any tips or examples please comment them.
Thanks

Hi Community,

I'm looking for a way to do a Video Overlay GUI or something like that. The idea is to create a GUI which plays a video loop (with transparency/alpha channel) in front of an other GUI. Before you asking why - because I don't believe that GDIPlus can do it out of the box. My skillset for that kind of graphical things isn't good enough to do that, but here are some specialist like @UEZ maybe who can help.

Example alpha channel video (visualized as animated *.gif):

I tried to do the light rays effect directly with GDIPlus, but honestly that's a bit too difficult for me. I would be very glad and grateful if there are some suggestions, ideas or recommendations.

Code for the Video play:
 
Example video "End.mpeg":
 
The next challenge is that the overlay GUI should be not clickable. If I hover over the overlay area, I want to have the possibility to control the GUI or what ever, in the background. But if there is any chance to make it with GDIPlus as a Video Overlay for light rays, I would prefer that approach instead of my crazy work-around idea.

Thanks for any suggestion - I'm grateful!

I am trying to get an image showing through a edit box.  I am only successful in making the edit box totally transparent
#include-once #include <GUIConstants.au3> #include <GDIPlus.au3> #include <WinAPISys.au3> #include <colorconstants.au3> ;WS_EX_TRANSPARENT $gui = GUICreate("", 1000, 800, -1, -1, -1 , $WS_EX_LAYERED) ; use layered to get _winapi_setlay... to work $pic = GUICtrlCreatePic("c:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Examples\GUI\Merlin.gif", 0,0,1000, 800) GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE) $edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("First line" & @CRLF, 176, 32,200,600) GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1,$COLOR_YELLOW) _WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes($gui,$COLOR_YELLOW,199) ; 199 is alpha (transparency level) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$gui) While 1 $msg = GuiGetMsg() Select Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE ExitLoop Case Else EndSelect WEnd Exit Func Terminate() exit(0) EndFunc So I am making the edit box's background yellow then using the _WINAPI_SetLayeredWIndowAttributes command to make the yellow disappear (which it does), but the alpha level is supposed to give a bit of opaqueness to it, but its not, just making it totally transparent.  The alpha level is in fact affecting the window itself and not the edit box. I only want the edit box to be partially transparent.
Help appreciated.
