Knowing if a gui is clicked or not? Im using GDIPlus to make a png GUI. Want to know if someone clicks it.

[CrewXp]

I used to know how to do this, but I took a 3 year break from autoit lol.

Is it possible (without making an invisible ctrl overlaying my gui) to detect if my GUI is clicked on? I have it set that if I click it, my current application does not lose focus. It is just an overlay/toast. I made my gui using gdiplus and a transparent PNG. I tried using $GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN, but nothing happens when I press my mouse down on it.

Post an example of your GUI code for better help.

Oh! and see if you can write a longer topic title please.

You can create a picture control and send the PNG image to that control. GUIGetMsg() can check whether the pic control is clicked.

Don't think there's a limit to that.

Lol... argh. Okay. Sorry, it was 4am yesterday when I was trying to figure it out.

Code:

expandcollapse popup

Func Test()
   Msgbox(0,"","")
EndFunc

Func Loader($type,$x, $y)
$loc="D:\Development\AutoIt\TestToast.png"
_GDIPlus_Startup()
$GUI = _GUICreate_Alpha("Look at the shiny", $loc, $x, $y)
GuiSetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN,"Test")
$myGuiHandle = WinGetHandle("Look at the shiny")
GLOBAL $hGraphic = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND ($myGuiHandle)
GUISetState()

$hwnd = GUICreate("ControlGUI", $toast_x,$toast_y, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP, BitOR($WS_EX_LAYERED, $WS_EX_MDICHILD), $myGuiHandle)
GUISetBkColor(0xABCDEF)

What I can't get:

-Clicking on the GUI After it's setup make it call a function.

-Having the gui/toast slide in from the top and fade in as it slides. Manually moving using WinMove only moves png, not text. Using the dllcall animates a random weird blue box.

Does that script work for you at all?

I have troubles understanding what exactly you want. How's this:

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include "GIFAnimation.au3"

Opt("GUICloseOnESC", 1); ESC to exit

Global $sFile = InetRead("http://files.myopera.com/supergreatChandu8/albums/5466862/smiley-transparent.png"); @ProgramFilesDir & "\AutoIt3\Examples\GUI\Torus.png"

$aGIFDimension = _GIF_GetDimension($sFile)
$hGui = GUICreate("GIF Animation", $aGIFDimension[0], $aGIFDimension[1], -1, -1, $WS_POPUP, BitOR($WS_EX_TOPMOST, $WS_EX_LAYERED))
GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF, $hGui)

$hPic = _GUICtrlCreateGIF($sFile, "", 0, 0, $aGIFDimension[0], $aGIFDimension[1])
GUICtrlSetTip($hPic, "Aaaahh... ESC to Exit")
GUICtrlSetStyle($hPic, Default, $GUI_WS_EX_PARENTDRAG)

GUISetState()
While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case -3
            Exit
        Case $hPic
            MsgBox(4096, "Click", "Aaah")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

...You can find GIFAnimation.au3 in examples forum. Don't let its name fool you, it can display any image, not only GIFs. Place it in the same folder as your script before you run it.

Thanks for the assist! Here is a 'working' copy of the code above. (includes and even test png). Your example uses gui get messages, I am using the gdiplus include, so I'm not sure how to make mine as yours functions. I tried using 

 

Func Test()

   Msgbox(0,"","")

EndFunc

;Placed this after my gui was created

GuiSetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN,"Test")

 

But it didn't do anything...

Code:

expandcollapse popup

;GUI Stuff
#include <GDIPlus.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
HotKeySet('{esc}','_exit'); ALT+1 Show / Hode Gui to tray

$toast_x=300
$toast_y=50

InetGet("http://dummyimage.com/300x50/000/fff",@ScriptDir&"\blank.png")
Global $sFile = InetRead("http://dummyimage.com/300x50/000/fff"); @ProgramFilesDir & "\AutoIt3\Examples\GUI\Torus.png"


Func Test()
   Msgbox(0,"","")
EndFunc

Func _exit()
   Exit
EndFunc

Func Loader($type,$x, $y)
$loc=@ScriptDir&"\blank.png"
_GDIPlus_Startup()

$GUI = _GUICreate_Alpha("Look at the shiny", $loc, $x, $y)

GLOBAL $hGraphic = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND ($myGuiHandle)
GUISetState()

You want click-through second window. To have that you need to add another extended style:

$hwnd = GUICreate("ControlGUI", $toast_x,$toast_y, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP, BitOR($WS_EX_LAYERED, $WS_EX_MDICHILD, $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT), $myGuiHandle)

Another thing is that in on-event mode you have to have:

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

...somewhere at the top of your script.
