SOLVED - Transparent GUI Object

[Siwa]

Hello autoit community,

I have a gui, and I want to place a special DataPicker on the GUI too, but If I put it in a visible GUICtrlCreateObj() it will be so unprofessional, and sloppy.

So I only want to make he object transparent, so only the datapicker is visible on the gui. I searched he forom, found _WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes and changed the bkg of the object with no success.

If anyone can help on this, I'll be thankful.

Here is my simple code : ( I have uploaded the needed files too )

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <IE.au3>

$hMain = GUICreate("Transparency Window",600,400)


Local $oIE = _IECreateEmbedded()


$55 = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 10, 40, 300, 350)
_IENavigate($oIE, @ScriptDir & "\DatePicker\sample.html")



GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg

        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

 

If you have any suggestion for me to even replace the GUICtrlCreateObj(), so only the datapicker is visible, it will be great too. ( Out of the box thinking )

I think no one is interested in this topic, or wans o help. 

As I was searching I found that _WINAPI based drawings are better controlled as being transparent. But I don't know if and how I can use them as a embedding object.

Something like this ??

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <IE.au3>

#include <WinAPI.au3>
Local $AlphaKey = 1 ; the transparent color of your choice

$hMain = GUICreate("Transparency Window", 600, 400, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_LAYERED)
GUISetBkColor($AlphaKey, $hMain)
_WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes($hMain, $AlphaKey, 0, $LWA_COLORKEY)

Local $oIE = _IECreateEmbedded()

$55 = GUICtrlCreateObj($oIE, 10, 40, 300, 350)
_IENavigate($oIE, @ScriptDir & ".\sample.html")
$oIE.document.body.style.backgroundColor = $AlphaKey

GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg

        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Thanks for your help. This is so close, but what it I only want the object to be transparent, not the whole GUI.

And another question, how can I flatten borders of the GUI.

I want to include the JS, in my main GUI, so I can use the DatePicker function of the JS, but I want it to be part of the main GUI, not a different and bordered object.

Have you tried:

GUICtrlCreateDate with example in help?

I did try to manipulate  @Chimp code, and tried so many solutions I found I the forum, which did not help.

Unfortunately it does not support custom date by setting a language variable. ( Our language variable is @OSLang = 1065 )

 

 I Found a solution for the topics issue, by using the @Chimp code, and moving the embedded screen for a negative position. ( I don't know why I didn't think of that sooner. )

 

This is my final code : 

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <IE.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>

Local $AlphaKey = 1 ; the transparent color of your choice

$Date_GUI = GUICreate("Transparency Window", 250, 250, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_LAYERED)
GUISetBkColor($AlphaKey, $Date_GUI)
_WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes($Date_GUI, $AlphaKey, 0, $LWA_COLORKEY)

$Persian_Date_IE = _IECreateEmbedded()

GUICtrlCreateObj($Persian_Date_IE, -2, -50, 1000, 1000)
_IENavigate($Persian_Date_IE, @ScriptDir & "\ShamsiCalendar\jalali.html")
$Persian_Date_IE.document.body.style.backgroundColor = $AlphaKey

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$Date_GUI)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch

WEnd
