Hi all,

I'm trying to find how to draw an image (create a label in mspaint) and save it as .bmp. And set it to be a wallpaper

I also need to know what wallpaper is use now, for restore it when the script is closed.

What is the best way to do it? Do I need Gdi+ for it?  I use this code (which I found here in forum) to set a .bmp file as wallpaper:

Func _ChangeWallpaper($sFile,$iType)
    ; Changes the wallpaper to $sFilename using $iType as:
    ; 1 Tiled
    ; 2 Centered
    ; 3 Stretched
    ; any other value (usually 0) unchanged
    ;
    ; Returns
    ; 0 if everything is allright.
    ; -1 if $sFile does not exist. @error is set to 1
    ; -2 if £sFile is not a .bmp file. @error is set to 2

    If Not FileExists($sFile) Then
        SetError(1)
        Return -1
    EndIf
    If StringTrimLeft($sFile,StringInStr($sFile,'.',0,-1)) <> 'bmp' Then
        SetError(2)
        Return -2
    EndIf

    Select
        Case $iType = 1
            RegWrite('HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop','TileWallpaper','reg_sz','1')
            RegWrite('HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop','WallpaperStyle','reg_sz','0')
        Case $iType = 2
            RegWrite('HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop','TileWallpaper','reg_sz','0')
            RegWrite('HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop','WallpaperStyle','reg_sz','0')
        Case $iType = 3
            RegWrite('HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop','TileWallpaper','reg_sz','0')
            RegWrite('HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop','WallpaperStyle','reg_sz','2')
        Case Else

    EndSelect
    RegWrite('HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop','Wallpaper','reg_sz',$sFile)
    DllCall("User32.dll","int","SystemParametersInfo","int",20,"int",0,"str",$sFile,"int",0)
    Return 0
EndFunc

 

The flow that I understand should be:

1) Check what wallpaper is in use now. I can find the path to it by going to registry  key named "wallpaper" here :[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

2) Create a file mspaint

3) Create a label with its properties (size,color) in this file

3) Save this file in some temporary directory

4) Set a created file as a wallpaper using the above code

5) When the script is closed restore the old wallpaper.

 

So again, my question is how to create a .bmp file with label in it?
