Hi coders, is it possible to put a control on top of an image

and have the control still usable?

in the help it says that you need to disable the image but i want to use a context menu and

some event monitoring on the image so it must be enabled..

thanks in advance  :)

GeekIT,

If you overlap active controls then as AutoIt cannot determine which control you meant to action it fires neither. Could you not split the image and have it in sections around the control? :huh:

If that is not possible there is a UDF from Malkey somewhere which reacts when a certain area is clicked without needing a control - I will see if I can find it. :)

thanks for the quick reply!

can't autoit work with layered controls?

e.g. if i click on lets say an edit on top of an image then activate the edit, else use the image at the background?

GeekIT,

Read what I posted above. If active controls overlap then as AutoIt cannot read your mind it refuses to action either. It is a common problem on the forum - usually caused by labels being too large and overlapping other controls. :)

yes i saw your reply, i mean it's just a bit unfortunate that autoit can't decide that without further complex coding, well, i guess i have to use that udf you gave me then.

thanks for the help, i'm not going to mark this treat solved yet... maybe other people have some more suggestions.
