modify a bitmap

[cryton2707]

I need a function to basically read some text from the registry and then modify an existing bitmap to put the text in the bitmap.

anyone know how to do this??

Thanks

Would think the only way would be using the GDI API calls and DllCall in AutoIt. Not easy, maybe not even possible.

Haven´t tried it, but it sounds like it could work...

It requires that you use one of the newer version of AutoIt v3 (with GUI-functions)...

1. Make a simple GUI-window.
2. Add a picture-control.
3. Add a label-control.
4. Set the picture-control to display your wanted picture.
5. Set the label-control to display your wanted text.

I could help you by creating some code for you, but I´m sitting on a Mac here..

Sorry.

Good luck !

EDIT : Ooh...if you want to modify the bitmap-file then I don`t know.

But if you want to generate a splash, then you could try my example..

well you might be able to do it with some sort of screenshot.

Make a gui with the picture taking up the whole thing, place some text on top, send !{printscreen} to capture only the active window, open paint, paste and save.

There must be better ways.

Maybe use an image app like Irfanview (Freeware) and run some macro's to paste and save?

thanks guys the paste screen cap and save seams to be probably the most easy to implement So I'll try that then post any code Ive got.. Thanks again
