GuiCreate, what does this Help File example do?

Hi

Maybe I am just being silly, but I don't understand what is supposed to happen here.

::/html/functions/GUICreate.htm

GuiCreate from the Help file has 2 examples.  Specifically, the 2nd example creates a ChildGui.  Or so it says.  I do not see this on screen.

$hGUI gets created, no problem.

Local $hChild = GUICreate("ChildGui", 10, 10, 20, 20, $WS_POPUP, BitOR($WS_EX_LAYERED, $WS_EX_MDICHILD), $hGUI)

What exactly does this line do? Should I see it on screen?

The child gui provides the framework for the script to show logo4.gif. If you have the child gui, you get this:

Without it, you get this:

The AutoIt logo is the child GUI, it's set to transparent so that the background image shows through it.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.
