Hi Forum, I wrote an Autoit script that automates downloading log files from a Data Logger. (GUI_1) This involves launching of third party software like WinSCP using my script. While downloading logs, I would like to blur the background (preferably blackout the background) leaving only GUI_1 visible so that users will only see the messages coming from my script and therefore user mistakes will be minimised. I can blur the background by creating another GUI (GUI_2) and using _GDIPlus. However, as I use WinWaitActive and WinActivate functions, there is no way for me to run my script behind GUI_2 as my script needs windows to be active for clicking on relevant buttons and other controls by moving mouse to specific mouse co-ordinates. Is there a way for me to achieve this. What I want is to run my script showing only GUI_1 and hiding everything else on the desktop bu masking with GUI_2. To make it more clear, I have a bottom layer on the desktop where the real mouse moving and clicking is taking place and middle layer for GUI_2 and then GUI_1 as the top most layer. Thank you guys, Any help is appreciated. UM

in the help is something similar to what i want to do but instead of screen capture i want to cut a rectangular chunk out of an image, _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage() let me dwaw the image where i want on the x y coordinates but i want to copy a certain Width and Height from a custom X and Y coordinate. i went to look at ScreenCapture.au3 seems that _WinAPI_BitBlt does the job but i don't understand it, is there a simple way staying with _GDIPlus_Graphics? or any tips on how to do it with _WinAPI_BitBlt ? help file example #include <GDIPlus.au3> #include <ScreenCapture.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> Example() Func Example() Local $hBitmap1, $hBitmap2, $hImage1, $hImage2, $hGraphic ; Initialize GDI+ library _GDIPlus_Startup() ; Capture full screen $hBitmap1 = _ScreenCapture_Capture("") $hImage1 = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromHBITMAP($hBitmap1) ; Capture screen region $hBitmap2 = _ScreenCapture_Capture("", 0, 0, 400, 300) $hImage2 = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateFromHBITMAP($hBitmap2) ; Draw one image in another $hGraphic = _GDIPlus_ImageGetGraphicsContext($hImage1) _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImage($hGraphic, $hImage2, 100, 100) ; Draw a frame around the inserted image _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawRect($hGraphic, 100, 100, 400, 300) ; Save resultant image _GDIPlus_ImageSaveToFile($hImage1, @MyDocumentsDir & "\GDIPlus_Image.jpg") ; Clean up resources _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage1) _GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage2) _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hBitmap1) _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hBitmap2) ; Shut down GDI+ library _GDIPlus_Shutdown() ShellExecute(@MyDocumentsDir & "\GDIPlus_Image.jpg") EndFunc ;==>Example

I'm trying to put an icon in the top of the GUI window using _GDIPlus.au3. I've tried using the Sleep(20) that has been suggested to no avail. Thank you for any and all help.
