Transparent background

[civilcalc]

Is it possible to have a gui with a tranparent background, but to have the labels and buttons etc as they normally are? many thanks in advance.

Set Window Extended Styles to $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT then you can have a transparent background while everything else stays

Can you give me an example with a few buttons? I tried that and it just makes the border disappear.

look at http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=89702

Also use the search to look under transparent

Found one better to use for makiing the whole gui transparent then selectively choosing all the things inside the gui to become visible check out

hey ive played around with the example a bit ive found that there has to be a window open under the tranceparent window for it to work, you could alwase through a splachimige up before the func, this is what i got

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

; example 1

Func Example1()

Local $msg

GUICreate("My GUI",200,200,-1,-1,$GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI ,$WS_EX_TRANSPARENT ) ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

GUICtrlCreateButton("seen",5,5,50,30)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) ; will display an empty dialog box

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop

WEnd

GUIDelete()

EndFunc ;==>Example1
