marfdaman Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 I read a topic in Scripts & Scraps about professional GUI skinning, but I don't understand how to use either of the programs with auotoit. The closed topic can be found here.Regards Don't take my pic to serious...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~You Looked, but you did not see!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JoshDB Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 I wouldn't use those - Check out these topics:http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...ndpost&p=184599http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...ndpost&p=102496 Ha, I haven't been on these forums since... 2006, almost.

Edit:And if called correctly, work quite well. Edited May 26, 2006 by SmOke_N 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.
marfdaman Posted May 26, 2006 Author Posted May 26, 2006 OK this is very useful...if I get it right you simply create a background image and put "invisible" controls on top of them...smart...but if someone could direct me in the right direction for creating GUI's using the previously mentioned programs, my ears are wide opened!

Moderators SmOke_N Posted May 26, 2006 Moderators Posted May 26, 2006 I think I know why the topic was closed (due to people providing hacks). If a Moderator reads this, and says it's ok, I'll place the legitimate DLLCalls here to run the demo version correctly. 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.
marfdaman Posted May 26, 2006 Author Posted May 26, 2006 Well that would be nice, hopefully someone does give permission... Don't take my pic to serious...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~You Looked, but you did not see!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Most skinnable GUIs let you define an "On" image (that's when the button is "pushed") and an "Off" image (which is the background that we already have). How do we achieve the effect of having an "On" image? If there was a function that would load a portion of an image (from the On image) right on top of the background, that would be perfect. However, I'm not aware of anything like that. Edited May 26, 2006 by b8bboi
marfdaman Posted May 26, 2006 Author Posted May 26, 2006 btw I don't see where I can skin my own program at all using SkinCrafter, I can only view a pre-made program showing how the skins look. Could someone tell me where I can skin my own program using SkinCrafter?

Could someone tell me where I can skin my own program using SkinCrafter?RegardsWith the DLLCalls, all you do is make your GUI with everything you want, then you can make your own skin or choose from a list of skins that comes with it, and "Your" GUI will come out with their/your skin.

marfdaman Posted May 27, 2006 Author Posted May 27, 2006 So when you put a certain dllcall in your own script, it will become skinned automatically? Guess I'll try that then. Tnx for helping!
