GUI Background image in an MDI setup

CodeTinkerer · August 1, 2015

Im creating a rather large application involving an MDI style GUI setup. I want to have an image for the background of the parent window.

I followed the typical route of:

GUICtrlCreatePic

GUICtrlSetState($var, $GUI_DISABLE)

but to no avail. I am still having issues with the toolbar not properly drawing in and any child windows that are created.

Is there a way to get my desired result or should I stop wasting time and continue development?

Ok, so I have added $WS_CLIPCHILDREN to GUICreate. Took care of the Child Windows from inheriting the background image when drawn. Still cant get around the toolbar issue though. Ive tried a bunch of different style combonations to try to get my desired result.
