Image transparency

[Nova]

Hey I woz just wondering if there is anyway to display an image with a certain percentage of transparency ?

Is there anyway of adding this feature to SplashImageOn ?

So if you wanted 20 percent transparency, something like this !

SplashImageOn ( "title", "file" , width , height , x pos , y pos , opt ,trans 20 )

You need to look at winsettrans.

I have just realised that SplashImageOn is very limited.

You can only have 1 image displayed on screen using SplashImageOn !

In order to display a second image the first muct be undisplayed !

Why is this ? and is there any chance that SplashImageOn can be altered to allow more that 1 image to be displayed on screen at once ?

Try the gui.

1) Goto this post and get the code for the function _GetImageSize

2) Add the following code below:

$file = "C:\Windows\Prairie Wind.bmp"

Global $WS_POPUP = 0x80000000, $WS_CAPTION = 0x00C00000, $WS_SYSMENU = 0x00080000
Global $WS_BORDER = 0x800000, $WS_DLGFRAME = 0x400000

$aSize = _GetImageSize($file)
If @error Then
   MsgBox(4096,"","Error...")
   Exit
EndIf

GuiCreate("Example One", $aSize[0], $aSize[1], 10, 10, 0)
GuiCtrlCreatePic($file, 0, 0, $aSize[0], $aSize[1])
GuiSetState()

GuiCreate("Example Two", $aSize[0], $aSize[1], 300, 300, $WS_POPUP)
GuiCtrlCreatePic($file, 0, 0, $aSize[0], $aSize[1])
GuiSetState()

Sleep(5000);show for 5 seconds...

Tnx CyberSlug nice example bit over my head at this moment in time seeing as Ive just updated to .103 and have never tryed any GUI creation before that was to be expected.

The current GUI commands at first glance dont appear to be all that userfriendly for lack of a better word.

I feel a bit out of my dept !

But im sure that as with all things, over time it shall become clearer.

Tnx for the push in the right direction

Unless you propose something everybody like better the syntax of the Gui functions have a very probability to change.

Just propose the way you think Gui functions should be.
