make in evidence desktop portion


Recommended Posts

search for a function to drawn transparent square where i want to make in evidence portion od my desktop.

I'm not sure what you mean by "evidence portion", but have you tried making a transparent GUI?

If it's not the effect you're looking for, please describe the difference.

hello,

search for a function to drawn transparent square where i want to make in evidence portion od my desktop.

think about GDI but anyone can suggest me a script to use...

anyone can help me ?

m.

There are lots of ways. I would have thought searching would find them but this is one way.

but more stable, without flickering, and with windowsontop feature,

It flickers because you repeatedly draw the square all the time the key is pressed. So pass the value of the key pressed to your function as well as the other details, draw it once, and in your function wait untill that key is no longer pressed then delete the graphic.

If you want the square to be on top then don't draw on the desktop but create a popup window like in the example I gave a link to before. Set the style to be on top. Then you can draw a line or a square and clear it all whenever you want by drawing a large rectangle in the transparent colour. GDI+ has problems drawing transparent bits as far as I can understand it but a graphic does not.

thank you for attention.

I try to make Autoit version of twostick a novel text entry method for game controllers.

Post my script and hope someone can help me to go some step forward

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=J743869S

This version is modified for mouse use, but real one works with normal joypad

As you can see from script left analogic PAD is done, but now i seacrh a solution to

make in evidence in 3x3 grid only one square when right analogic PAD choose letter.

I'm stuck 'cause GDI is too hard to use for me,

maybe skilled Autoit user can suggest me new idea,

Thank you all,

m.

The twostick is new to me, but maybe that's because I don't play games. What is the reason fo rmaking something like that though if you haven't got 2 joysticks? If you have a mouse a virtual keyboard would be better wouldn't it?

I would agree that GDI is not so easy, but to create a layout like you want is actually very easy because you don't need any graphics at all.

Try this

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
 #include <StaticConstants.au3>
 #include <WindowsConstants.au3>
 
 #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
 Global $Form3 = GUICreate("Form3", 100, 99, 228, 169, $WS_POPUP)

 GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0x000000)
 GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
 #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###
 
 While 1
     $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
     Switch $nMsg
         Case $label1;the top left
             Exit
       Case $label7;the middle right
             GUICtrlSetData($label1,'A')
             GUICtrlSetColor($label1,0xff0000)
             GUICtrlSetBkColor($label3,0xff0000)
     EndSwitch
 WEnd

Using labels means you can respond when one is clicked on, (as clicking on 'a' closes my example) you can easily change the colour of the label or its text (click the middle right label) and you can use Koda to design it all like I did.

thank you again for reply,

the reason for making something like that is that lot of media center user

use a joypad as remote for their system. You can do all with a joypad,

play, surf internet, use media center, there are script and program for

everything but not exist a standard to write text.

Twostick application is think mainly for disable people but i want to implement it

in Autoit to give opportunity to everyone to add a more value to joystick.

Not only for gamers, but for all people that want to use only one device for all.

In your script event are driven by mouse click, how i can modify to other events ?

(maybe _IsPressed() )

Thank you, really,

m.

I don't really know enough about what you are doing to give a good answer. If you are using a mouse then you can click, if you are using a joystick then isn't there a button which can be detected with _IsPressed?

If you have a path between the buttons then you could make it so that just moving onto a button is the same as clicking it.
