GuiCtrlCreateGraphic on top of background picture

[Zedna]

I need to have picture and on top of it draw by GuiCtrlCreateGraphic

But it seems Graphics is always at bottom (under) of picture.

I searched forum, tried various styles but no luck

So can somebody help me with this?

Thanks

Here is my simple example

(only change name of image to something you have on HDD):

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

$GOOYE = GuiCreate("MyGUI", 800, 600)

GUICtrlCreatePic("background.jpg",0,0,500, 500)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)

; buttons are OK (over image)
$Button_1 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Button 1", 10, 10, 50, 20)
$Button_2 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Button 2", 10, 40, 50, 20)

; but graphics isn't visible, why?
; red cros
$a=GuiCtrlCreateGraphic(50, 50, 100, 100)
GUICtrlSetGraphic(-1,$GUI_GR_COLOR, 0xff0000)
GUICtrlSetGraphic(-1,$GUI_GR_MOVE, 50,0)
GUICtrlSetGraphic(-1,$GUI_GR_LINE, 50,100)
GUICtrlSetGraphic(-1,$GUI_GR_MOVE, 0,50)
GUICtrlSetGraphic(-1,$GUI_GR_LINE, 100,50)

GuiCtrlSetGraphic ($a, $GUI_GR_REFRESH); attempt to help redraw
   
GUISetState()
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop

Graphics is always a background painting.

no possibility to put them on top.

That's the limit of not redesining a specific control.

Usualy other control badly work when overlapped.

And what about some trick with DllCall, is it possible?

Thanks anyway.

I meant this:

- get handle of background image

- ?getd DC of this?

- call API MoveTo, LineTo with this device context

thanks for some sample scripts/ideas...

[Zedna]

I found some useful scripts on forum (search for text: LineTo)

One of these:

Writing over the screen

Writing over the screen

And when there will be posibility of handling windows messages in AutoIt

then I can do that Moveto,Lineto stuff in WM_PAINT
