gauss786,

Something like this perhaps: :)

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Include <ScreenCapture.au3>
#Include <Misc.au3>

Global $iX1, $iY1, $iX2, $iY2, $aPos, $sMsg, $sBMP_Path

; Create GUI
$hMain_GUI = GUICreate("Select Rectangle", 240, 50)

$hRect_Button   = GUICtrlCreateButton("Mark Area",  10, 10, 80, 30)
$hCancel_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel",    150, 10, 80, 30)

GUISetState()

While 1

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, $hCancel_Button
            FileDelete(@ScriptDir & "Rect.bmp")

OLD TOPIC BUT FOUND IT IMMEDIATELY WHEN USING GOOGLE.

Like the simplicity of it, just wanted to add a back button, edit box and easy re-usability. 

Thank you very much Melba23!

Updated script here:
