WinSetTrans()

WinSetTrans()

I do not think that WinSetTrans will meet this part of the OP's request:

and if i click in it pass the window and give a click to the one behind

I'm not sure what will...

But isn't that enough information? Why give him the whole script? The rest of what he wants can be easily figured out.

Are you sure. Doesn't a transparent window in AutoIt make all its components transparent as well?

In Delphi, which I know a bit about, you can have a transparent window and have controls on it which are not transparent. When you click on the tranparent parts you are of course interacting with the windows which you see behind. Although I can do that easily in Delphi I have no idea how to do it in AutoIt, but maybe that's what's wanted.

I thought he wanted the gui to be transparent when he moves the mouse off of it?

I remember something called GUIhole that would put a "hole" in your gui.... perhaps this could be modified to work.

I think however you tackle it you will most likely need to put all of your non transparent controls in a seperate GUI than the transparent part.

what kind of controls do you have that need to be fully visable?

[weaponx]

I would just capture the coordinates where the mouse is clicked and maybe use ControlClick on the window behind.

Maybe if ControlClick() doesn't work you can briefly hide the window and just use MouseClick()

@weaponX, I was working on an example script pretty much the same as you were suggesting, but the Hide Show flags take too long... looks sloppy
