How to creare a guy with a background (centered/tiled/stretched)?

[waltzie]

Hi,

I've done a sample gui with background:

; Create GUI
    
        
    $gui = GUICreate("Background", 200, 200,-1,-1,$WS_TILEDWINDOW)
    GuiCtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE)
        $path_background = @ScriptDir & "\myimage.bmp"
        $background = GUICtrlCreatePic($path_background, 0, 0, 0, 0)
    EndIf   
    GuiCtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_ENABLE)

    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

; GUI MESSAGE LOOP
    While GuiGetMsg() <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
; wait till gui is closed
    WEnd

How can I:

1. How to know the image source sizes

2. How to know the Top Left pixel colour

3. How to set default background color

4. How to set the image background to be "Tiled" or "streched" or "window centered"?

Thanks for the help

I'd suggest you to use GDI+

I solved using

$background = GUICtrlCreatePic($path_background, 0, 0, 0, 0)

GUICtrlSetResizing($background,$GUI_DOCKSIZE+$GUI_DOCKHCENTER+$GUI_DOCKVCENTER)

But sill have a problem!

If i add a treeview the visualizzation is bugged!

I can't access to Treeview object, minimizing & maximizing the tree object disappear

here is the example

#Include <GUIConstants.au3>

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>

#Include <GuiTreeView.au3>

#include <TreeViewConstants.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

#include <StaticConstants.au3>

; Create GUI

$gui = GUICreate("Background", 400, 400,-1,-1,$WS_TILEDWINDOW)

$path_background = @ScriptDir & "\myimage.jpg"

$background = GUICtrlCreatePic($path_background, 0, 0, 0, 0)

GUICtrlSetResizing($background,$GUI_DOCKSIZE+$GUI_DOCKHCENTER+$GUI_DOCKVCENTER); Center the image into window

$maintree = GUICtrlCreateTreeView(10, 10, 120, 150)

$aboutitem = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("About", $maintree)

$miscitem = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("Misc", $aboutitem)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

; GUI MESSAGE LOOP

While GuiGetMsg() <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

; wait till gui is closed

WEnd

You need to disable the picture control:

$background = GUICtrlCreatePic($path_background, 0, 0, 0, 0)
GUICtrlSetState($background, $GUI_DISABLE)
