[Tomb]

hi. i have this image , and i place it ontop of another image in my GUI. when i do this, the white border around the image appears on the image underneath. how can i set transparency so the image, actually its my dog Toby, im making a game about him, shows above the background image and the white around the image is transparent.

Search for larry and bmp2rgn or look here.

; EXAMPLE SHOWING Bitmap to Region function ( BMP2RGN() )
;
; int BMP2RGN("str","path to BMP",
;    "int",red value,
;    "int",green value,
;    "int",blue value)
;
; The red, green, blue values should be the color of the pixel
; in the BMP that you DON't want to see.
;

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
$gui = GUICreate("",127,136,-1,-1,$WS_POPUP)
GUICtrlCreatePic(".\larry.bmp",0,0,127,136)

$a = DLLCall(".\BMP2RGN.dll","int","BMP2RGN", "str",".\larry.bmp", "int",0, "int",0, "int",0)

SetWindowRgn($gui, $a[0])

GUISetState()
Sleep(5000)

Func SetWindowRgn($h_win, $rgn)
    DllCall("user32.dll", "long", "SetWindowRgn", "hwnd", $h_win, "long", $rgn, "int", 1)

There are many tools to draw this picture.

For example free from Microsoft paint.NET:

There is forum of Paint.NET and dicussion about the subject

Making Backgrounds of Images Transparent

[Emiel Wieldraaijer]

Do you use Windows 2000 or do you have a Windows 2000/Standard Look ?

well,

first convert it to a .gif (e.g. ms paint).

then you make a child window with the $WS_POPUP,$WS_EX_LAYERED style of the same size as the image and put only this picture as a pic control in it.

this should be all.

then you can move the child window inside the parent and the white space is transparent.

imo it is not possible without the extra child window.

style = $WS_POPUP,

ex_style = $WS_EX_LAYERED
