GDI+ Text Transparency


Recommended Posts

How would I go about getting a Transparent background for this _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawStringEx ?, Ive already tried multiple UDF's that would work properly with the standard controls.

 

#include <GDIPlus.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

$hwnd = GUICreate("GDI+ Example", 400, 300)
$label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 10, 10, 380, 40)
GUICtrlCreateButton("Start/Stop scrolling",150,50,100,30)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1,"startstop")
GUISetOnEvent(-3, "close")
GUICtrlCreatePic(@ScriptDir & '\Img\Main2.jpg' ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 ,0 )
GUISetState()

_GDIPlus_Startup()
$graphics = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND(ControlGetHandle($hwnd, "", $label))
$bitmap = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromGraphics(380, 40, $graphics)
$backbuffer = _GDIPlus_ImageGetGraphicsContext($bitmap)

$ffamily = _GDIPlus_FontFamilyCreate("Arial")
$arial = _GDIPlus_FontCreate($ffamily, 24)

$sformat = _GDIPlus_StringFormatCreate()
_GDIPlus_StringFormatSetAlign($sformat, 1)
$blackbrush = _GDIPlus_BrushCreateSolid()

$pos = 0
$speed=0


Do
    _GDIPlus_GraphicsClear($backbuffer, 0xFFF0F0F0)

    $pos -= $speed
    $rectf = _GDIPlus_RectFCreate($pos, 0, 380, 40)
    If $pos < -300 Then $pos = 300


    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawStringEx($backbuffer, "Scrolling text", $arial, $rectf, $sformat, $blackbrush)

    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRect($graphics, $bitmap, 0, 0, 380, 40)
    Sleep(10)
Until False

Func startstop()
    $speed=Not $speed
EndFunc



Func close()
    _GDIPlus_BrushDispose($blackbrush)
    _GDIPlus_StringFormatDispose($sformat)
    _GDIPlus_FontDispose($arial)
    _GDIPlus_FontFamilyDispose($ffamily)
    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($backbuffer)
    _GDIPlus_BitmapDispose($bitmap)
    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($graphics)
    _GDIPlus_Shutdown()
    Exit
EndFunc  ;==>close

Instead of creating a background pic control create a bitmap with that image and copy it everytime to $backbuffer instead of using _GDIPlus_GraphicsClear($backbuffer, 0xFFF0F0F0).

Otherwise it is directly not possible to move a transparent image over another.

Then try this:

#include <GDIPlus.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

$hwnd = GUICreate("GDI+ Example", 400, 300)
$label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 10, 10, 380, 40)
GUICtrlCreateButton("Start/Stop scrolling",150,50,100,30)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1,"startstop")
GUISetOnEvent(-3, "close")
;~ GUICtrlCreatePic(@ScriptDir & '\Test.jpg' , 0, 0, 400, 300)
GUISetState()

_GDIPlus_Startup()
$graphics = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND(ControlGetHandle($hwnd, "", $label))
$bitmap = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromGraphics(380, 40, $graphics)
$backbuffer = _GDIPlus_ImageGetGraphicsContext($bitmap)
$background = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromFile(@ScriptDir & '\Test.jpg')
$ffamily = _GDIPlus_FontFamilyCreate("Arial")
$arial = _GDIPlus_FontCreate($ffamily, 24)

$sformat = _GDIPlus_StringFormatCreate()
_GDIPlus_StringFormatSetAlign($sformat, 1)
$blackbrush = _GDIPlus_BrushCreateSolid()

$pos = 0
$speed=0


Do
    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRect($backbuffer, $background, 0, 0, 400, 300)

    $pos -= $speed
    $rectf = _GDIPlus_RectFCreate($pos, 0, 380, 40)
    If $pos < -300 Then $pos = 300


    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawStringEx($backbuffer, "Scrolling text", $arial, $rectf, $sformat, $blackbrush)

    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRect($graphics, $bitmap, 0, 0, 380, 40)
    Sleep(10)
Until False

Func startstop()
    $speed=Not $speed
EndFunc



Func close()
    _GDIPlus_BrushDispose($blackbrush)
    _GDIPlus_StringFormatDispose($sformat)
    _GDIPlus_FontDispose($arial)
    _GDIPlus_FontFamilyDispose($ffamily)
    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($backbuffer)
    _GDIPlus_BitmapDispose($bitmap)
    _GDIPlus_BitmapDispose($background)
    _GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($graphics)
    _GDIPlus_Shutdown()
    Exit
EndFunc  ;==>close

_GDIPlus_GraphicsClear() erases the graphic context with the color you provide or by default with 0xFF000000 (black). So for moving objects you have to clear the graphic context otherwise smearing will appear.

For alpha tranparency it might be a little bit more complicated depending on what you want to achieve.
