gui allways on top also in fullscreen game

[daniel02]

Hi all,

I want my autoit gui to be allways on top, also in a game which is running in fullscreen mode. The autoit script is showing position data and has a stop and start button.

Is there a possiblity?

Thanks in advance

look into the GUIsetstyle() functions.. and guicreate() sections of the helpfile

Not sure, but I think that without DirectX here can not do.

I attempted to write a script that placed a small dot on the screen to help with aiming in certain games. Unfortunately it didn't work in most of the games I tried as the $WS_EX_TOPMOST does not seem to work in conjunction with full screen games. Regardless, here is the script I wrote if you want to see how it is done or mess around with it.

; Dot in center of screen, and "almost" always on top


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

HotKeySet("{Escape}", "_dummy")
HotKeySet("^+Z", "_Exit")


$maingui =guicreate("dot", 3, 3, @desktopwidth/2-1.5, @desktopheight/2-1.5, BitOR($WS_POPUP, $WS_BORDER), BitOR($WS_EX_TOPMOST, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW))
guisetstate()
WinSetOnTop("dot", "", 1)
GUISetBkColor(0xffff33)

while 1
sleep(100)
WinSetOnTop("dot", "", 1)
$msg = guigetmsg()
Select
    Case $msg = $gui_event_close
        Exit
        EndSelect
WEnd
Func _dummy()
    ;dummy func
EndFunc
Func _Exit()
    Exit
EndFunc  ;==>_Exit

Hi all,

yes it it a directx game. So is it possible to "forward" the auoit gui somehow into the directx game?

Thanks
