Set Pixel

[=sinister=]

I know the set pixel function using dllcall and all, but if another color is written to that certain pixel, it goes away. Is it possible to "lock" the set pixel function so that if another color replaces that pixel, that it won't set? And I don't want and loop because it looks to glitchy to those windows that always set every pixel to a different color.

Thanks.

Maybe you can make an 1x1 Window ($WS_POPUP as style and $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW as extended style.) with that color.

Edit:and remember to put it on top..

The only problem with that is that I want to use the pixels in a game, and creating a window usually minimizes the game. =\

Actually, your method has come to use to me, but I have 1 more question before I get off your tail =P.

So I have the GUI:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$GUI = GUICreate("My GUI", 50, 50, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW); will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)

While 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()

If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
Wend

But how do I get the box to reapear if another window pops up? I tried:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$GUI = GUICreate("My GUI", 50, 50, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW); will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered
GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    GUISetState (@SW_Show, $GUI)
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
Wend

but that didn't work.

--Edit--

GUISetState(@SW_Restore) does the trick

WinSetOnTop($GUI,"",1); this.
