Method 1 is the fastest but it has some drawbacks like using Alphablending...

That is Sweet! Why is Alphablending bad?

[ProgAndy]

For me the second method is the fastest (XP MCE SP3)

Method 1: 8491.53 ms for 1000 loops

Method 2: 7914.35 ms for 1000 loops

Method 3: 9834.58 ms for 1000 loops

[Beege]

Wow that is such a big difference. For me method 2 is by far the slowest. I'm using Window 7.

Method 1: 10823.95 ms for 1000 loops

Method 2: 55552.62 ms for 1000 loops

Method 3: 15448.33 ms for 1000 loops

[Richard Robertson]

Alpha blending isn't bad, it just costs more. Instead of strictly overwriting pixel data, it has to look at the previous value and create some mixture of the old and new if the new value is not 100% opaque.

[UEZ]

That is Sweet! Why is Alphablending bad?

The issue with _WinAPI_BitBlt() that you cannot activate alpha blending or display transparent images directly! You have to find a workaround!

E.g. you can use _GDIPlus_GraphicsClear($hGraphic, 0x10000000) to activate alpha blending on monoceres' method and with _WinAPI_BitBlt() you have to use a workaround like this:

If you load and display e.g. a transparent image and display it you have to do some codings to display transparent image using _WinAPI_BitBlt() method!

Btw, here my results:

Method 1: 5937.49 ms for 1000 loops

Method 2: 9539.2 ms for 1000 loops

Method 3: 8083.92 ms for 1000 loops

I know this is a little off topic, but how would you display an image with transparency over another window, like the desktop, using _WinAPI_BitBlt?

I know how to do this using GDIP.au3 with _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRectIA with the image attribute parameter, but it's slow. Drawing a full screen image directly with transparency takes like 300ms with that method on my Win7 laptop. I'm wondering if performance would be better using a backbuffer and _WinAPI_BitBlt. But as you said there has to be a workaround with a transparent image.

Can you do a simple example of drawing a jpg with 50% transparency to the desktop using _WinAPI_BitBlt?

[UEZ]

I wouldn't use _WinAPI_BitBlt() with transparent images because I know only a complicated way to do it!

Just have a look here : Rotation of Graphic Object over Backround using _WinAPI_BitBlt()

Sorry but I don't have enough space on my account to upload it here!

It is an experimental build!

You have to create a mask image and combine both images together with _WinAPI_BitBlt() and $SRCAND + $SRCINVERT parameters!

Currently I didn't thought about semi transparency!

Here another benchmark with 3 nearly different backbuffer methods:

OMG that's slow, here's what I get (win7 x64, AutoIt 3.3.4.0 x86).

DWM enabled:

Method 1: 2804.65 ms for 1000 loops

Method 2: 10404.05 ms for 1000 loops

Method 3: 3269.97 ms for 1000 loops

DWM disabled:

Method 2: 5959.89 ms for 1000 loops

Method 3: 3792.05 ms for 1000 loops

Thank god it's simple to get the more manageable:

DWM enabled:

SDL_sprig: 1011.93 ms for 1000 loops

SDL_gfx: 1032.44 ms for 1000 loops

SDL_sge: 1445.16 ms for 1000 loops

Would you like an example with something else than circles? Ask me.

The download link is dead. Please provide new one!

Btw, my intension was not to use any 3rd party DLL, only build-in stuff

Thanks,

Yes lets stop all progress because we didn't see my link to post #44 right under the broken download

Sure there's a few extra files, but when you get over double the speed, isn't it worth it?

And like in post #62 I will probably have everything in au3 files soon, so you don't need to remember to copy dll files.

I admit that the UDF seems lika a mess (it is), but then it's probably one of the biggest one-man-projects on the forum. I know it's the biggest thing I have ever done. It will take time to "iron things out", but what we already have is really awesome, and 99% of everything marked "untested" should work.
