Invisible Gui

[ChaosUltima]

Ok, anyone knows how to make in invisible GUI but all other features are visible? so you get a floating button and stuff like that.

either that, cuz im trying to make a button on a GUI with a picture covering it. As the button doesnt work if it is over the picture(bmp), then i need to make an invisible GUI, or does anyone know how to make a button work over another GUI object like a picture?

someone on here made an online radio player, there GUI was transparent with a BMP file used for the background and controls floating on top.

The code they wrote is below, but you'll have to see if you can figure it out sorry I got to get on, I'm guessing its the $WS_EX_LAYERED option and the GUICtrlSetStyle($caption, -1, $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT)

GUICtrlSetStyle($caption, $DS_SETFOREGROUND) stuff..
