Is possible flash only one part's of _GUICtrlStatusBar_Create?

[Luigi]

Hi Forum,

In this little example, I use _GUICtrlStatusBar_SetBkColor to flash the status bar, but, this idea flash all status bar parts's.

Is possible flash only one part at each time?

Flash only 'Part I' and not another parts?

Thank you!

Global $hGui, $hMsg, $hStatus

$hGui = GUICreate('title', 800, 600)
Local $a_Status_Part[3] = [266, 532, -1]

$hStatus = _GUICtrlStatusBar_Create($hGui)
_GUICtrlStatusBar_SetParts($hStatus, $a_Status_Part)
_GUICtrlStatusBar_SetText($hStatus, 'Part I', 0)
_GUICtrlStatusBar_SetText($hStatus, 'Part II', 1)
_GUICtrlStatusBar_SetText($hStatus, 'Part III', 2)

$aRect = _GUICtrlStatusBar_GetRect($hStatus, 0)

GUISetBkColor(0xFF0000)
WinSetTrans($hMask, "", 0)
GUISetState()

        $toggle = 0

Good enough?

Ohhhhh! A new Gui above old Gui?

Flashing with transparence?

I thinking the final effect is better than _GUICtrlStatusBar_SetBkColor!

I like this! 8D

Thank you Melba23!

Reading another GuiStatusbar's functions, I found _GUICtrlStatusBar_EmbedControl.

I not try yet, maybe is possible embed any kind flash control in status bar too.

Is not flash native, but, may work like this.
