Thank you.

Screenhooks? Or do you mean Screenshots? Or getting the Handle of a window? or controlling windows?

[Naufuge]

I mean like displaying a image, with txt over it, hooked to a certin point on a window. Like the version part of d2jsp. It displays a bmp, at the top of the screen, then displays the text of the version number on it.

You mean something like autoit's SplahImageOn() ?

[Naufuge]

somewhat like that, except when the window is moved, so is the splash, and if the window is minimized, the splash is off.

[nfwu]

$WINDOW_NAME = "MyGUI"
$SPLASH_TITLE = "Splash"
$SPLASH_IMAGE = "image.bmp"
$SPLASH_WIDTH = 100
$SPLASH_HEIGHT = 100
while 1
   if not WinExists($WINDOW_NAME) Then 
      SplashOff()
   else
      $loc = WinGetPos ( $WINDOW_NAME )
      SplashImageOn ( $SPLASH_TITLE, $SPLASH_IMAGE , $SPLASH_width , $SPLASH_height ,($loc[2]-$SPLASH_WIDTH)/2+$loc[0], ($loc[3]-$SPLASH_HEIGHT)/2+$loc[1])
  endif
  sleep (2000)
wend

AutoIt is simple, subtle, elegant.

Then you create the GUI in C++, and enter the name into the $WINDOW_NAME variable.

That Works Great!!!

only is there a way to cut down the flicker, and still have it work fast...

as in Sleep(100), it flickers more, but reacts faster and Sleep(5000) it flickers less, but reacts slower.

can this be fixed.

like,

$loc2 = WinGetPos($WINDOW_NAME)
If $loc2[0] = $loc[0] Then
 ;;; Do Nothing
Else
   SplashImageOn ( $SPLASH_TITLE, $SPLASH_IMAGE , $SPLASH_width , $SPLASH_height ,($loc[2]-$SPLASH_WIDTH)/2+$loc[0],$loc[1]+($SPLASH_HEIGHT*1.45),1)
EndIf
If $loc2[1] = $loc[1] Then
 ;Do Nothing
Else
   SplashImageOn ( $SPLASH_TITLE, $SPLASH_IMAGE , $SPLASH_width , $SPLASH_height ,($loc[2]-$SPLASH_WIDTH)/2+$loc[0],$loc[1]+($SPLASH_HEIGHT*1.45),1)
EndIf

would this work?

Yes it does, i just tryed it... Works Great. Thank you
