Splash screen fade in fade out

[teodoric666]

hello I'm coming to ask you a huge favor I love start screens with fade in and out effects I'm French I don't know much about autoit the friend who gave me this effect died three months ago , I have the sources but I don't understand anything, I just think it's the resource.au3 file that's wrong? could you take a look if it's not too long thanks in advance I have the latest versions of autoit and scite but despite trying to tinker I can't find this global const error, a big thank you 'advance
he had done a fade in and fade out really well

there is a great example test.exe I have never been able to find an effect like that

 If you want to use Resources UDF with latest version of AutoIt

then you have to download/use derived ResourcesEx UDF (by guinness) from here

 

and slightly modify your AU3 scripts

 

changes needed in your fade/test.au3:

;~ #include "resources.au3"
#include "ResourcesEx.au3"

...

;~ $hImage = _ResourceGetAsImage("TEST_PNG_1")
$hImage = _Resource_GetAsImage("TEST_PNG_1")

a big thank you at least I no longer have the errors just that the image is not displayed, in any case thank you for taking the time, thank you

test-1-Fadin autoit.rar

no need to include "ResourcesEx.au3"
just try replacing this line

$hImage = _Resource_GetAsImage("TEST_PNG_1")

with this other one

$hImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile(".\test.png")

It seems simple when you know! thank you all it works it makes me happy that his work continues
Really thank you everyone

Difference with this approach is that you have to distribute PNG image separately along with compiled EXE.

With Resources UDF you have PNG image compiled inside EXE and use it from resources (inside EXE) so you distribute only EXE file.

I'm going to go further and I won't bother you any more so I'm starting to get a taste Autoit but it's complex if I want to bring the photo into my exe put it in a windows temp directory and display it afterwards?

fileInstall("test.png", @tempDir & "\test.png") its good ?

but to display it?

$hImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile(".\1test.png") or
$hImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile("1test.png")

 

 

thank's

FileInstall will embed PNG image inside EXE at compile time and copy it from EXE to destination directory at run time.

With Resources UDF you can use PNG directly from EXE without need of extracting image to disk at runtime.

 

fileInstall("test.png", @tempDir & "\test.png") 
$hImage = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile(@tempDir & "\test.png") 

 

You would should also add deleting image after using it - in case of FileInstall() ...

lol my translator failed I understood that with the UDF and reshacker it included the image the rest is incidental and for the purposes of knowing thank you both

[teodoric666]

I added a wav sound, it seems correct or can we optimize it?
well it seems to work deleting the file but can we have the sound at the same time as the logo display?

very thank's
