Vortex Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 Is it possible to get a GUI to appear even over full screen applications? If so, please tell me how to do this Thanks in advance, Vortex.

Putting a GUI over a full screen app would probably not do you any good. Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

Gyzmok Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 (edited) You can also create a GUI that places itself on top of other GUI's with the style : $WS_EX_TOPMOST $popup = GUICreate("Popup ontop GUI", 943, 222,166,435, $WS_DLGFRAME, $WS_EX_TOPMOST) Edited May 23, 2006 by Gyzmok D2charkeeper = No more 'expired characters' in D2.File Date Changer = Change the file date(s), attributes and the filename case of multiple files @ once.Updater_full = Copy/Update your autoitscripts, pictures, .mp3, .avi etc ... subdirs from your PC to your memory stick or to your external harddisk. Now with scheduling and logging.Questmapper
Moderators SmOke_N Posted May 23, 2006 Moderators Posted May 23, 2006 I wonder if anyone has tried to embed one of these games into a GUI Crappy part is I don't play any to see if I can Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.
jvanegmond Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 Smoke how you possibly do that? My best guess is to create a object, but i don't think many games have any object functionallity. There just exes. github.com/jvanegmond
petenyc1 Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 I also have an application that is full screen (no window title bar - only way to get back to windows is with the windows key). I was able to successfully use the windowontop feature here is the code: $mainwindow = GUICreate("ANDI",150,40,860,675) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ; show window WinSetOnTop("ANDI","",1) ;window always on top this works great for the window always being on the top. it is a small window that is positioned in the lower right hand corner. My only question is that the window stays on when the screen saver comes up. anybody know how keep it from doing that so i don't get screen burn in? thanks
petenyc1 Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 Update: The system came with a Non-windows screensaver which would leave the window on top up. Switching to a standard windows screen saver fixed the problem. Thanks.
