set window trans except for the controls..


Recommended Posts

Hmm, I can't think of a "real" way to do it, but perhaps you could create your "main" gui, set trans on it, then create a new gui, with no title bar, and WS_POPUP as style, and making it a child window to your main gui(so it's just a square with nothing in it, and so it moves with it), then add a button to that gui(with the size of the gui)..

Uhm.. that's probably kinda hard to understand, but I cba. to make an example atm..

set window trans accept for the controls..,

Do you mean "except"? :)

You can make a gui with $WS_POPUP and $WS_EX_LAYERED. Create a Pic (the same size as the gui), and load bitmap containing just one color.

Then create you controls on the gui. This will create a totally transparant gui with just the control 100% visible.

Just put a another gui behind it.

is it possible to set the window trans accept for the controls..

so all the controls are sharp but the window has a trans..

how could I do that?

Have a look at this thread in Example scripts.

(You'll need to add #include <WindowsConstants.au3> to the post in the link.)

What I mean is this:

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$BG_GUI = GUICreate("BG",400,400)
    WinSetTrans($BG_GUI,"",100)
GUISetState()

$CONTROL_GUI = GUICreate("Control Gui",400,400,-1,-1,$WS_POPUP,$WS_EX_LAYERED+$WS_EX_MDICHILD,$BG_GUI)
    GUICtrlCreatePic("grey.gif",0,0,400,400)
    GUICtrlCreateButton("bla",100,100,120,23)
GUISetState()

While 1
    If GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
WEnd

You could alos use _WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes from http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...indowattributes to set the Transparent color :)

Playing around with Kip's submission and GUI Styles and exstyles, another choice for you.

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Local $iWidth = 260, $iHeight = 200

$BG_GUI = GUICreate("BG", $iWidth, $iHeight, -1, 200, $WS_POPUPWINDOW, 0)
WinSetTrans($BG_GUI, "", 150)
GUISetState()

$CONTROL_GUI = GUICreate("Control Gui", $iWidth - 5, $iHeight - 4, 0, -20, $WS_POPUPWINDOW, _
                                            BitOR($WS_EX_LAYERED, $WS_EX_MDICHILD), $BG_GUI)
GUICtrlCreatePic("grey.gif", 0, 0, $iWidth, $iHeight)
GUICtrlSetStyle(-1, $WS_DISABLED)
$but = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button", ($iWidth - 120 - 5) / 2, ($iHeight - 23 - 4) / 2, 120, 23)
GUISetState()

Do
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $but Then MsgBox(0, "", "Button Pressed")
Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Well done Kip.

This definitively opens up more possible options to play with.

My effort:-

$hGui = GUICreate("BG", $iWidth, $iHeight, -1, 200, $WS_POPUPWINDOW, $WS_EX_TOPMOST )
GUISetBkColor(0xff0000)
WinSetTrans($hGui, "", 50)

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_LBUTTONDOWN, "_WinMove") ; Drag Window 2 of 3 addin
GUISetState()

$gui = GUICreate("Control Gui", $iWidth - 5, $iHeight - 4, 0, -20, $WS_POPUPWINDOW, BitOR($WS_EX_LAYERED, $WS_EX_MDICHILD), $hGui)
