Transparent Tree View

SkellySoul · June 26, 2011

Hello

This request has actually been requested quite a few times on the Autoit forums but I have never seen a example script as close as this one and I couldn't of have done it without the help of Melba23 and Tvern

So here is the example that I have put together with both of the scripts that Melba23 and Tvern provided me with

#include <WINAPI.au3>
#Include <GUITreeView.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <TreeViewConstants.au3>

Global $Tree_Flag = False, $iTransColor = 0x01010101 ;experiment to get the best look

$GUI_Parent = GUICreate("Test", 800, 500)
GUICtrlCreatePic(@DesktopDir & "\test.jpg", 0, 0, 800, 500)

$GUI_Child = GUICreate("", 300, 200, 10, 10, $WS_POPUP, BitOR($WS_EX_LAYERED, $WS_EX_MDICHILD), $GUI_Parent)
$Tree = GUICtrlCreateTreeView(0,0,300,200,BitOR($TVS_HASBUTTONS, $TVS_LINESATROOT, $TVS_DISABLEDRAGDROP, $TVS_SHOWSELALWAYS))
$Tree_Handle = GUICtrlGetHandle($Tree)
GUICtrlSetBkColor($Tree , $iTransColor)
_WinAPI_SetLayeredWindowAttributes($GUI_Child, $iTransColor, 255)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW , $GUI_Child)
GUISwitch($GUI_Parent)

For $iParent = 0 To 4
    $Tree_Parent = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem($iParent,$Tree)
    For $iChild = 0 To 4
        $Tree_Child = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem($iParent & "." & $iChild,$Tree_Parent)
        For $iChild2 = 0 To 4
            GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem($iParent & "." & $iChild & "." & $iChild2,$Tree_Child)
        Next
    Next
Next

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

GUIRegisterMsg($WM_NOTIFY, "_Tree_Info")

While 1
    $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $Msg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
    If $Tree_Flag  Then
        $Tree_Flag = False
        ConsoleWrite(_GUICtrlTreeView_GetText($Tree, _GUICtrlTreeView_GetSelection($Tree)) & @CRLF)
        WinSetTitle($GUI_Parent, $GUI_Parent, "You clicked on: " & _GUICtrlTreeView_GetText($Tree, _GUICtrlTreeView_GetSelection($Tree)))
    EndIf
WEnd

Func _Tree_Info($hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam, $lParam)
    #forceref $hWnd, $iMsg, $wParam
    Local $tNMHDR = DllStructCreate($tagNMHDR, $lParam)
    $hWndFrom = HWnd(DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "hWndFrom"))
    $iCode = DllStructGetData($tNMHDR, "Code")
    Switch $hWndFrom
        Case $Tree_Handle
            Switch $iCode
                Case $NM_CLICK
                    $Tree_Flag = True
                    Return 0
            EndSwitch
    EndSwitch
EndFunc

The main problem I have with this script is: Clicking only works on the parts of the treeview that are still visible, making it hard to click an item. (you have to click the actual text of each item)

This is just an example. It has a number of issues:
- Clicking only works on the parts of the treeview that are still visible, making it hard to click an item. (you have to click the actual text of each item)
- The fonts are smoothed against $iTransColor, meaning that, you can either choose a color that results in a pixelated look, or have a trace of the used color around the letters. (experiment untill satisfied)
- I havn't looked into changing the "expand/close" symbol, but I think that should be easy.

Thanks to everyone who helps and I would sometime like to see this become a UDF

The problem I keep running into with this is that a transparancy color that looks ok. (greyish colors for black text) are hard to click, while 0xABCDEF works well, but looks like crap.

I've tried checking _GUICtrlTreeView_HitTestItem and _GUICtrlTreeView_HitTestItem on mouseclicks, wich reliable tells me what item should be clicked, but I ran into two problems:

1. Writing an event handler is a pain

2. The normal clicks interfere with the simulated ones if they do get through and blocking them (by blocking all messages to from the treeview) also blocks the simulated clicks.

Here's my attempt, maybe someone knows how to improve it.

To me both of our Examples look the same when it comes to transparency! Or maybe its my eyes

I think you may not be using font smoothing. (cleartype) if they look the same.

For me, your example has bright greenish edges around the letters where the color of the letters is blended with the background. If I use a grey color is looks better.

When using 0xABCDEF as color the items seem to be easier to click. (not sure about the logic behind this) but you still have to click pretty much on the text of the item, rather than anywhere in the item rectangle. This is what I was trying to fix, but so far I'm not happy with the result.

The items need a background to click on.

I've come up with a workaround using an implementation of mouse hover hot tracking.

(The $TVS_TRACKSELECT style by itself only adds underlining and text highlight).

EDIT: fixed typo, added BitOR($WS_CLIPCHILDREN, $WS_POPUP) to fix gui flash when expanded items show scrollbar

I'm not using font smoothing so thats why then. Nice Example rover.

rover,

Well up to your ususal standard!

I had tried using _GUICtrlTreeView_HitTest and could not make it work - I can now see how far off I was in my approach.

Thanks Melba23

Coming up with the idea of using the TVIS_DROPHILITED state to get the item background colour for hot tracking to solve the transparency issue was the easy part...

But it's not a useful workaround if drag and drop is needed though.

Thanks Guiness

I forgot to fix the gui glitch when the scrollbar shows.

Added BitOR($WS_CLIPCHILDREN, $WS_POPUP) to transparent child gui

It is indeed a nice example.

Tvern · June 29, 2011

Hmm that's a nice approach.

I'd still like to figure out a way to do this without drawing the item in another color, but that's mostly out of frustration at this point.

I just have to say wow

I think this is on it's way to being a UDF and it's sure going to have a lot of credits

A bit more work is needed and unfortunately I am not as skilled with this as much as all of you are and I hope that most, if not all of you continue to get it working and with your guys permission I would like to post all of your examples in examples scripts to let this been seen by more people and if it sparks interest which I am sure it will may be someone else will join in and help and come up with an idea of solving the remaining problems.

I started the topic for help for my own private script but I think we have something big here...well not me, all of you do anyways

Also just want all of you to know that I appreciate all of your work and want to thank all of you so far for the excellent work.
