Transparent image on transparent background?

[psgarsenal]

Hi everyone!

New here, but saw that a lot of topics are about transparency

I looked in a few but couldn't find a solution to my problem:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
Local $sFile = "blank.gif"
$main = GUICreate("dota2utilities", 1680, 1050, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP, BitOR($WS_EX_LAYERED, $WS_EX_TOPMOST))
$back = GUICtrlCreatePic($sFile, 0, 0, 1680, 1050,-1)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)
$icone = GUICtrlCreatePic("icon-rosh.gif", 0, 0, 46, 16)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)
;~ $hDC = GUICtrlCreateLabel("This is text on a transparent Layered GUI",0, 0, 200, 20 )
;~ GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)
GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x000000)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
Do
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

The second picture I draw on the screen deletes the transparency on all the screen except inside of it, any solutions?

Thanks for reading!

You have to use GDIPlus (GDI+) which supports transparency.

There are plenty of examples posted in this forum.

Thanks for the answer!

I've been thinking about it and I think I'll just use multiple guis to do it since I do not need to show text, thanks anyway!

No need of multiple guis here. I've to leave in a few minutes but

just load the image with the 3 icons (_GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromFile),

create an empty bitmap (_GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromScan0 @ 16x16),

create the image context to the bitmap (_GDIPlus_ImageGetGraphicsContext),

clear it with color 0xFF161616 (_GDIPlus_GraphicsClear),

copy one of the icons using _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect,

convert the image to GDI bitmap (_GDIPlus_BitmapCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap),

copy that bitmap to the picture control (GUICtrlSendMsg),

cleanup resource when finished.

I will have a look maybe later on it.

I didn't meant what I worte, sorry

I will use one gui, because I need only to display one of the pictures at a time, so I just split the pictures into three files that I will read when I will need to change the background

Thanks for your help!
