dazza Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Here's one for the experts... I need to write an application that sits ontop of another. This other shows a map. I need Autoit to have a floating toolbox that allows me to draw lines and drop graphics on the map below. Obviously, these lines and graphics are not actually on the map; they are just shown on top. I would rather use AutoIt than VBE although VBE does has a transparency/opacity property built into it's objects. Can AutoIt do this? Many thanks.

James Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) Look at Jex scripts for Region Window or something about Region WinSetTrans is what you need for transparency.Link: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=56516 Edited February 16, 2008 by JamesB Blog - Seriously epic web hosting - Twitter - GitHub - Cachet HQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather use AutoIt than VBE although VBE does has a transparency/opacity property built into it's objects. Can AutoIt do this? Many thanks. Here is an example to get you started. It has a strip at the top and bottom to hold controls and a transparent are in the middle for your lines to go over whatever windo is behind. It uses a simple bitmap which I have included, though you can make your own of course. Run the script and press F7 to draw a single line. expandcollapse popup#include <GUIConstants.au3> $gui=GUICreate("", 300, 470, 10, 10,$WS_POPUP,BitOr($WS_EX_LAYERED,$WS_EX_TOPMOST,$WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW)) Global $pic1 = GUICtrlCreatePic("sample.bmp",0,22,0,0) $pic_hWnd = ControlGetHandle($gui,"",$pic1) global $pic_hdc = DLLCall("user32.dll","int","GetDC","hwnd",$pic_hWnd) guictrlcreatelabel("Some label",100,455,120,21) $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit",10,0,100,20) ;button won't work if it's over the transparent area although it will show guisetstate() hotkeyset("{F7}","ALine") while 1 if guigetmsg() = $Button1 Then exit EndIf WEnd Func ALine() Local $lineThick = 2, $lineCol = 0xFF0000 $pen = DllCall("gdi32.dll", "int", "CreatePen", "int", 0, "int", $lineThick, "int", $lineCol) DllCall("gdi32.dll", "int", "SelectObject", "int", $pic_hdc[0], "int", $pen[0]) DllCall("GDI32.dll", "int", "MoveToEx", "hwnd", $pic_hdc[0], "int", 20, "int", 30, "int", 0) DllCall("GDI32.dll", "int", "LineTo", "hwnd", $pic_hdc[0], "int", 200, "int", 200) DLLCall("gdi32.dll","int","DeleteObject","int",$pen[0]) EndFunc Func OnAutoItExit() if $pic_hdc[0] <> 0 then DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "ReleaseDC", "hwnd", 0, "int", $pic_hdc[0]) EndIf endfunc Serial port communications UDF Includes functions for binary transmission and reception.printing UDF Useful for graphs, forms, labels, reports etc.Add User Call Tips to SciTE for functions in UDFs not included with AutoIt and for your own scripts.Functions with parameters in OnEvent mode and for Hot Keys One function replaces GuiSetOnEvent, GuiCtrlSetOnEvent and HotKeySet.UDF IsConnected2 for notification of status of connected state of many urls or IPs, without slowing the script.
