PNG Only GUI

[jercfd]

How can I make my GUI to only show PNGs and no default background. I still want it to be able to use regular controls.

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GDIPlus.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Show PNG", 240, 240, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)

_GDIPlus_StartUp()
$hImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile(@ScriptDir & "\Normal\top-left.png")
$hGraphic = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND($hGUI)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage($hGraphic, $hImage, 0, 0)

$hImage2 = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile(@ScriptDir & "\Normal\top.png")
$hGraphic2 = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND($hGUI)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage($hGraphic2, $hImage2, 18, 0)

$hImage3 = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile(@ScriptDir & "\Normal\top-right.png")
$hGraphic3 = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND($hGUI)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage($hGraphic2, $hImage3, 240-18, 0)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            _GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($hGraphic)
            _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage)
            _GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($hGraphic2)
            _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage2)
            _GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($hGraphic3)
            _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage3)
            _GDIPlus_ShutDown()
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Try this:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GDIPlus.au3>

$hGUI = GUICreate("Show PNG", 240, 240, -1, -1, $WS_POPUP)
$pic = GUICtrlCreatePic("", 0, 0, 240, 240)
GuiCtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE)
$hpic = GUICtrlGetHandle($pic)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)

_GDIPlus_StartUp()
$hImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile(@ScriptDir & "\Normal\top-left.png")
$hGraphic = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND($hpic)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage($hGraphic, $hImage, 0, 0)

$hImage2 = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile(@ScriptDir & "\Normal\top.png")
$hGraphic2 = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND($hpic)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage($hGraphic2, $hImage2, 18, 0)

$hImage3 = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile(@ScriptDir & "\Normal\top-right.png")
$hGraphic3 = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND($hpic)
_GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage($hGraphic2, $hImage3, 240-18, 0)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            _GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($hGraphic)
            _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage)
            _GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($hGraphic2)
            _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage2)
            _GDIPlus_GraphicsDispose($hGraphic3)
            _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage3)
            _GDIPlus_ShutDown()
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

That way looks exactly the same as my code. I want the GUI to be invisible but the controls not invisible.

Check out this by Lod3n.

How would I use lod3n launcher to use multiple background images. Also, the top, bottom, and sides need to be dynamically sized from their original. For example, the top.png is 767px long and I want it sized to the current window size.

It might be possible to create the GDI image, and then draw it the same way. haven't experimented yet though.
