Icon - transparent colour

[Markus]

Hi!

I have a little Icon problem.

I have an Icon with a transparent Colour. But if the icon is over a picture in the GUI, i don't see the part of the picture that is beyond the transparent colour.

I hope you can help me.

would be a good idea to supply a script to duplicate this problem and the images

[Markus]

Right

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("",400,400)

GUISetState()

GUICtrlCreatePic(@ScriptDir & "\feld_schwarz.bmp",20,20,70,70 )

GUICtrlCreatePic(@ScriptDir & "\feld_schwarz.bmp",200,200,100,100)

$ico=GUICtrlCreateIcon(@ScriptDir & "\schachfigur_turm.ico",-1,220,220,70,70)

$stop=GUICtrlCreateButton("stop",200,20,100,20)

$weiter=GUICtrlCreateButton("go on",200,50,100,20)

$neu=GUICtrlCreateButton("new",200,80,100,20)

Sleep(1000)

$ico=GUICtrlCreateIcon(@ScriptDir & "\schachfigur_turm.ico",-1,140,140,70,70)

$x=140

$y=140

While 1

GUICtrlSetPOs($ico,$x,$y)

$x=$x-1

$y=$y-1

Sleep(10)

$msg=GUIGetMsg()

If $msg=$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit

If $msg=$neu Then

$x=140

$y=140

EndIf

If $msg=$stop Then

While 1

$msg=GUIGetMsg()

If $msg=$weiter Then ExitLoop

If $msg=$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit

WEnd

EndIf

WEnd

And the Pic/Icon

The_Pics.zip

I just noticed a little mistake in the code, the first $ico=GUICtrlCreateIcon(...) shouldnt have this id ($ico), just remove it plz. By the way it has no effect on the script.

The problem still consists. The Icon is transparent (except the towerpart in the middle of course), so i should see what is behind, shouldn't i?

[Markus]

Noone knows a solution?

It's normal that transparent colours of icons dont work in autoit?

I wanted to write a chess game, the field exists of black and white pics, but i dont see those pics, beyond the figure's transparent colour.

Is there a chess game in this forum alrdy, that could help me?

I did try to help you, but here's what I ended up finding out http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...ndpost&p=154852

Markus,

I checked your script but have not looked at it in detail. I think you want to use a transparent region instead (do search).

Thank you very much, peter and gafrost, i alrdy thought nobody would help me.

@gafrost: i watched your test script (thank you), but whats that $GUI_BKCOLOR_TRANSPARENT. When i tried it, the variable caused a mistake. Don't i have the latest version?? Or was it just an idea of you for a new variable in the next update??

@peter: funny script^^ i think that could help, ill try to understand what the dll function is exactly doing, maybe ill have more questions tomorrow Would this dll funciton also work for a chessfigure picture, that moves over the field?

And one more point, which editor would u prefer for reading *.dll, i have noone, that can read dlls, maybe u can say me one, otherwise ill search this rly great forum

Markus,

The trasparent region should do exactly what you want.

I have no idea how to read DLLs.

Do not expect that there will be a lot of people just waiting to answer your questions when you post them. Most people have other more important things they should be doing.

Not rly, because i wanted a transparent region for a picture and if i understood the function it sets a transparent region for a window "SetWindowRgn" and not for a picture in a gui-window.

I think you havent understood my problem.

sorry i just thought that i can ask in the "Support"-Forum

you seem to be one of those people who have to do something more important, k thank you for your help so far, i'll think ill have to try it alone...

Perhaps I did not understand. In which case I am sorry for wasting your time. Then again, perhaps you did not understand. In which case I will try to help you understand... Each transparent region is a small window that has an image in it with a transparent background. There can be many of these windows. The windows can be moved anywhere on top of a background image (or anyhing else, even other transparent regions) and the image in the window will be on top with the image under the window showing through the transpartnet part of the window. Thus each window is like an icon with a transparent background. Isn't that what you wanted? I am not an experienced programer. There may be a better way of doing what you want, but that is the only way I can think of. Sorry if it does not help.
