tileing backgrounds

[eadthem]

k in my app im using

CODE

global $mainPh = guicreate( $vert , 550 , $height , 200 , 200 , 0x00000000)

vert is based on the number of rows to be written and is varable greatly as small as 200 as big as 800 or more

my background is any format 400, 400 and its my understanding that

CODE

GUICreate("", 500, 500)

GUICtrlCreatePic(background.bmp , 0, 0, 500, 500)

will only create a streached background rather than one that is tiled

also is there a way to use a alpha mask of sorts to clip or alter the shape of a window ie make it circular or somthing simlar is a good example

nother thing png support in future versions would be great

also having problems with a

$ppuph = GUICtrlCreatePic("pagen.bmp", 110, $row , 16 , 16 );"page up"

GUICtrlSetOnEvent( $ppuph, "ppup" )

the bitmap wont stay on top/visable over the background the

GUICtrlCreatePic(background.bmp , 0, 0, 500, 500) is what im usng for a background

No help for your first post, but for the second, make sure you create the background first, and then try disabling it. Something like this

GuiCreate()
GuiCtrlCreatePic("backgroundpicture")
GuiSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)

GuiCtrlCreatePic/Button/etc
...

Obviously not valid code...

yes this is my gui intilasation area

CODE

$tot = $hi - $low

$height = ($tot * 35)+125

global $mainPh = guicreate( $vert , 550 , $height , 200 , 200 , 0x00080000)

GUISetBkColor (0x000000, $mainPh )

;GUISetFont (9, 400, 0, "" , $mainPh )

GUICtrlCreatePic("background.bmp" , 0, 0, 550, $height, 0x04000000)

GuiCtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE)

;defalts all off $WS_MINIMIZEBOX 0x00010000, $WS_CAPTION 0x00C00000, $WS_POPUP 0x80000000, $WS_SYSMENU 0x00080000 $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS 0x04000000

;$serverdroph = GUICtrlCreateCombo ( "item1", 10, 10 , 100 , 20 )

;GUICtrlSetData( $serverdroph,"item2|item3","item1")

GUISetState (@SW_SHOW , $mainPh )

then little bit later we get to

CODE

if (($ppage*12) <= $servnum and $creg == 0) then

$ppuph = GUICtrlCreatePic("pagen.bmp", 110, $row , 16 , 16 );"page up"

GUICtrlSetOnEvent( $ppuph, "ppup" )

endif

if ($ppage > 1 and $creg == 0) then

$ppdownh = GUICtrlCreatePic("pagel.bmp", 126, $row , 16 , 16 );page down

;$ppdownh = GUICtrlCreateButton ( "page down", 160, $row )

GUICtrlSetOnEvent( $ppdownh, "ppdown" )

endif

now i know thay are beaing drawn but thay arnt showing up because i can click on them and it will flip pages

but if i click on another app say firefox and it lays over the autoit window and then i minimise it the icon will then show up untell it redrawas the gui for say a page up or down or somthing

o on the first post it dose indeeed streach it to fit rather than tile any ideas on tileing would be helpfule i have 1 idea but i dont like it becaus would need to add 4 more background images
