Gui isn't on top.. but takes focus


Recommended Posts

hi lol im making a CPU usage Gui... and taking the easy way out im afraid.. but the GUI doesn't let me interact with other programs... it always has the Focus... BUT it won't let me stick it on top.. Winsetontop doesn't work... Guiseststate ($GUI,$WS_EX_TOPMOST ) doesn't work.. im looking to have it always on top.. but unfocused

Global $hGui = GUICreate("Click-through topmost GUI", -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, BitOR($WS_EX_TOPMOST, $WS_EX_TRANSPARENT, $WS_EX_LAYERED)) ; you can omit WS_EX_LAYERED
WinSetTrans($hGui, 0, 170)
GUISetState()


While 1
    If GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop ; yeah right 
WEnd

thats not what i was looking for.. you have to click the GUI to move it...

i've never encountered this problem... and i've been using popups for a month or so now so i have no idea whats wrong...

While 1

If Not ProcessExists ('Taskmrg.exe') Then Run(@SystemDir & '\taskmgr.exe', '', @SW_HIDE)

$iStatus = StatusbarGetText ('Windows Task Manager', '', 2)

GUICtrlSetData ($lStatus, StringTrimLeft ($iStatus, 10))

Sleep (300)

WEnd

Unless you have some other process you didn't mention, 'Taskmrg.exe' will never be running, so you keep re-launching 'taskmgr.exe'.

Since it only allows one instance, it activates itself when you relaunch the exe.

If it were some other process, you'd have a million stray processes and run out of memory fast.

Haha :) good eyes.

Use this to reduce flickering and to force window the never gain focus:

Const $WS_EX_NOACTIVATE = 0x08000000
Const $WS_EX_COMPOSITED = 0x02000000

$hDll = DllOpen('user32.dll') ; For _IsPressed

$Gui = GUICreate (@ScriptName, 200,100, -1 ,-1, $WS_POPUPWINDOW, BitOR($WS_EX_NOACTIVATE, $WS_EX_COMPOSITED, $WS_EX_TOPMOST))
GUISetBkColor (0xFFFFA2, $Gui)
$lStatus = GUICtrlCreateLabel ('', 1, 1, 198,98, $SS_CENTER, BitOR($WS_EX_NOACTIVATE, $WS_EX_COMPOSITED))

Don't know why but it's working perfectly for me. I've changed the transparency and disabled $WS_POPUPWINDOW so you can see the title bar becomes blue, noting it's taking the focus but nop, 909090.
