GUICtrlCreatePic() Distortion in metro style SideBar Bug (or it isnt?) PLEASE HELP

[ActualAkshay]

I am facing this problem while trying to make a metro UI Sidebar, tried to fix it all night but couldnt, problem is that whenever I use a colored background (whether a stretched disabled pic in BG or using GUISetBkColor) the pic placed in the gui using GUICtrlCreatePic() shows some distortion on the runtime, I have attached all the image files, au3, and a screen shot. Please help me out fixing this distortion problem, Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

A helpless Person (Needs help asap)

I cannot see any problem / distortion when neither running the code nor in Screen Shot.jpg.

No, if you look properly you will find very small black squares there on the area where it should be white

Ok, if the pixel is disturbing you then try this:

expandcollapse popup

#include <Constants.au3>
#include <GDIPlus.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
Global $SideBarWidth = 86
Global $SideBarHeight = @DesktopHeight
Global $SideBarXpos = @DesktopWidth - 86
Global $SideBarYpos = 0
Global $SideBar = GUICreate("", $SideBarWidth, $SideBarHeight, $SideBarXpos, 0, $WS_POPUP, BitOR(0x8, 0x80)) ; $WS_POPUP,,$WS_EX_TOPMOST, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW ,$ WS_EX_APPWINDOW
;GUISetBkColor(0x1D1D1D)
$ButtonNum = 3
$FSB_YPos = ((@DesktopHeight - ($ButtonNum * 100)) / 2)
$SB_BG = GUICtrlCreatePic("bg.jpg", 0, 0, $SideBarWidth, $SideBarHeight)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DISABLE)
Global $SB_ScreenB = GUICtrlCreatePic("", 1, $FSB_YPos, 85, 100)
Global $SB_RegionB = GUICtrlCreatePic("", 1, $FSB_YPos + 100, 85, 100)
Global $SB_WindowB = GUICtrlCreatePic("", 1, $FSB_YPos + 200, 85, 100)
_GDIPlus_Startup()
Global $hImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile(@ScriptDir & "\SB_FSB.jpg")
Global $hHBitmap = _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap($hImage)
_GDIPlus_ImageDispose($hImage)
_hBmpToPicControl($SB_ScreenB, $hHBitmap)
_hBmpToPicControl($SB_RegionB, $hHBitmap)
_hBmpToPicControl($SB_WindowB, $hHBitmap, True)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $SideBar)

While GUIGetMsg() <> -3
WEnd
GUIDelete()
_GDIPlus_Shutdown()
Exit

Func _hBmpToPicControl($iCID, ByRef $hBmp, $iFlag = 0)
    Local $hOldBmp = GUICtrlSendMsg($iCID, 0x0172, 0, $hBmp)
    If $hOldBmp Then _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hOldBmp)
    If $iFlag Then _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hBmp)
EndFunc   ;==>_hBmpToPicControl
