How to control GuiCtrlCreateIcon transparency or background colour

[Peter86]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a script that mimics the dialog shown in the attachment. With the exception of a problem with the icon transparency, I have been able to do this. The icon control seems to thing that the transparent regions of the icon should be set to the form colour, not simply see-through, and I can't seem to set the background colour for the control.

Does anyone have any idea how you set the background colour for an icon control?

Regards,

Peter

Dialog I'm trying to recreate:

Code that I've got:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Confirmation", 420, 150, 377, 409, BitOR($WS_BORDER,$WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))
GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -5, 75, 430, 10)
 GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 0, 0, 420, 81, $SS_WHITERECT)
GUICtrlCreateGroup("", -99, -99, 1, 1)

$cboNeverShow = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Don't &ask me this again", 12, 96, 140, 17)
$btnYes = GUICtrlCreateButton("&Yes", 245, 91, 75, 25, 0)
$btnNo = GUICtrlCreateButton("&No", 328, 91, 75, 25, 0)

GUICtrlSetDefBkColor(0xFFFFFF)
$icon = GUICtrlCreateIcon ("user32.dll",102,20,20,32,32 )
GUICtrlSetBkColor($icon,0xFFFFFF)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Would you like to be hit on the head with a blunt instrument?", 70, 20, 320, 40)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $btnYes
            MsgBox(16,"Error!","Unhandled exception has occured!")
            Exit
        Case $btnNo
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Try this:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Confirmation", 420, 150, 377, 409, BitOR($WS_BORDER,$WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))
GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 0, 80, 420, 40)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xECE9D8)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)

$cboNeverShow = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Don't &ask me this again", 12, 96, 140, 17)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xECE9D8)

$btnYes = GUICtrlCreateButton("&Yes", 245, 91, 75, 25, 0)

$btnNo = GUICtrlCreateButton("&No", 328, 91, 75, 25, 0)

$icon = GUICtrlCreateIcon("user32.dll",102,20,20,32,32 )

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Would you like to be hit on the head with a blunt instrument?", 70, 20, 320, 40)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $btnYes
            MsgBox(16,"Error!","Unhandled exception has occured!")
            Exit
        Case $btnNo
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

THe "GRay" Color isn't right. Try this:

Small WorkAround: Use a GUI as White BG:

CODE

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#include <StaticConstants.au3>

#include <WinApi.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Confirmation", 420, 150, 377, 409, BitOR($WS_BORDER,$WS_CLIPCHILDREN))

$x = GUICreate("", 420, 81,0, 0,$WS_CHILD+$WS_POPUP,0,$Form1)

GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF)

$icon = GUICtrlCreateIcon ("",0,20,20,32,32)

GUICtrlSetImage(-1,"user32.dll",102)

_WinAPI_SetParent($x,$Form1)

GUISetState()

GUISwitch($Form1)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Would you like to be hit on the head with a blunt instrument?", 70, 20, 320, 40)

GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1,$GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("",0,81,420,3,$SS_SUNKEN)

$cboNeverShow = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Don't &ask me this again", 12, 96, 140, 17)

$btnYes = GUICtrlCreateButton("&Yes", 245, 91, 75, 25, 0)

$btnNo = GUICtrlCreateButton("&No", 328, 91, 75, 25, 0)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1

$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()

Switch $nMsg

Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Exit

Case $btnYes

MsgBox(16,"Error!","Unhandled exception has occured!")

Exit

Case $btnNo

Exit

EndSwitch

WEnd
