I am building a handy tool with a nice interface. I am working with AutoIt 3.0.103.149 and have some trouble with the gui controls. I am new to the GUI part of AutoIt and I have played with several GUI Control Styles but I am still unable to get the desired result. Please look at the picture. How do I get the background color of the controls transparant?

I hope someone can help so I can work on the GUI.

Global $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS = 0x4000000;
GUICreate ( $ProgName & " " & $Version, 640, 384 )

$btn_Start = GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Start", 148, 90, 80, 42 )
$btn_Stop = GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Stop", 280, 90, 80, 42 )
$btn_Settings = GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Configuratie", 412, 90, 80, 42 )

$cbx_downloadupdates = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox ( "Download Updates", 40, 220 )

GUICtrlCreateTab ( 30, 170, 580, 170 )
$tab0 = GUICtrlCreateTabitem ( "Hello" )

$main_pic = GUICtrlCreatePic ( "gui.jpg", 0, 0, 640, 384, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS )

GUICtrlSetState ( $btn_Stop, $GUI_DISABLE )
GuiSetState ( @SW_SHOW )

Don't kill me for this code :idiot: I am just playing around with the settings to get the desired result before I start writing some usefull lines.

change
$cbx_downloadupdates = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox ( "Download Updates", 40, 130 )

The checkbox is not part of the tab so that the reason of the color.

if you want to have it on the tab you have to change the time when you define it

as

$progName= "markloman"
$version="1.0"
;Global $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS = 0x4000000;
GUICreate ( $ProgName & " " & $Version, 640, 384 )

$btn_Start = GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Start", 148, 90, 80, 42 )
$btn_Stop = GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Stop", 280, 90, 80, 42 )
$btn_Settings = GUICtrlCreateButton ( "Configuratie", 412, 90, 80, 42 )


GUICtrlCreateTab ( 30, 170, 580, 170 )
$tab0 = GUICtrlCreateTabitem ( "Hello" )
$cbx_downloadupdates = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox ( "Download Updates", 40, 220 )

;$main_pic = GUICtrlCreatePic ( "gui.jpg", 0, 0, 640, 384, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS )

GUICtrlSetState ( $btn_Stop, $GUI_DISABLE )
GuiSetState ( @SW_SHOW )
Do
   $msg=GuiGetMsg()
Until $msg=$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Cheers :D

Thanks, that's obvious :idiot: Fixed it. But what about the tab?

I think it inherits the color of the window. But when I change the background color of the window to (for example) 0xff0000 (red), only the buttons inherit this color. The tab does not.

Tab as stated in the doc cannot be painted as stated in the doc

To terminate the tab control just create a last "tabitem" control with a null text "". The "tabitem" control cannot be painted (too much code ...)

Sorry AutoIt try to stay slim and is mainly a wrapper to windows, not a windows reimplementation :D
