Create image within application

[deo]

Hi,

Im trying to create an image within an existing application using GUICtrlCreatePic with no success. Is this even possible?

Let me try to elaborate a bit:

Im using autoit to open an application, then overlay a bitmap over a specific region of the window, thus allowing me to see the image layered above any controls.

Im inserting the image using GUICtrlCreatePic and then im calling GUISetState(), but the image isnt showing. Any ideas?

Do you want to create a compiled script that doesn't need any other file?

If so use FileInstalla to extract the image to a temp folder and than show it

I dont need to extract an image, i need to place an image within the application, above all other controls. Im not creating a compiled script either. Any other ideas?

GuiCtrlCreateImage is create an image in your gui which is created by autoit..

You'll rgncreateimage or what was it called I dont remember at the moment anyhow it was a function to draw images on desktop it might work for you created by larry

I found his function bmp2rgn, but it appears to only work within a gui that has been created.... am i wrong?
