Display part of a picture?

[simpleinventor]

I have a toolbar bitmap that I would like to display only part of the bitmap. I know I could technically cover the undesired parts with other objects, but the bitmap moves and would get ugly to work with. Does anyone know of how to get this done? Thanks, Simple Inventor.

You could try using a bitmap that only has that one section in it.

You would otherwise have to use drawing functions which can be complicated.

HI,

maybe this helps, too?!

th.meger, that link kinda of worked, but I'm having trouble understanding it. What I figure is that each image is on it's own gui, but is a child of the main. Anyone know how to do that? I can easily do that in java, don't know too much about autoit.

So I got it to sort-of work. I have a cropped image and I want it to move with the main GUI. The thing is, with the code I have now, if I drag the GUI around, the cropped image only moves when I let go of the mouse (it's pretty obvious to see why.) Is there a way so the pic moves with the GUI no matter what.

Here's the code:

#include "GUIConstants.au3"
#include <Math.au3>

$gui=GUICreate("test", 500, 500, 300, 300)

$guiPOS = WinGetPos($gui,"")

$pic=GUICreate("", 24, 24, $guiPOS[0]+5, $guiPOS[1]+30,$WS_POPUP,$WS_EX_LAYERED,$gui)
GUICtrlCreatePic(@ProgramFilesDir & "\K-Meleon\skins\Phoenity(Large)\zoomcold.bmp",0,0, 0,0)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$pic)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW,$gui)

Do
    Sleep(10)
    
    $guiPOS = WinGetPos($gui,"")
    
    WinMove($pic,"", $guiPOS[0] + 5, $guiPOS[1] + 30)
    
until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Have a look at example 2 for GUICtrlCreatePic in the help file. The transparent window moves with the parent window when it's dragged.

Instead of

$pic=GUICreate("", 24, 24, $guiPOS[0]+5, $guiPOS[1]+30,$WS_POPUP,$WS_EX_LAYERED,$gui)

you need

$pic=GUICreate("", 24, 24, $guiPOS[0]+5, $guiPOS[1]+30,$WS_POPUP,BitOr($WS_EX_LAYERED,$WS_EX_MDICHILD),$gui)

(Hope this is what you mean you want.)

That went over my head. Can you explain why? Thanks!
