Ed_Maximized Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 (edited) Surfing in the forums I noticed there are many posts about shaped gui but it is a difficult point... till now!!!I have created this tool that takes a GIF image used as a backgroun for the form and allows the programmer to "trace" the shape over the image itself then you can generate the code of the form by simply a click...Limitations:-Only GIF images are compatibles (sorry)-Win2000+ required (no 9x)I created an example (nemo.au3) with the program. Requires the image "nemo.gif" (my wife's poodle) in @scriptdir...ShapedGUI.zipThis code was possible by joining good pieces of code of great programmers like Valuater, Gafrost, Larry and others I loose his names.... Thanks to all!!!To do:-Undo function-Multiple regions-Preview windowHasta la vista!!!Ed Edited October 25, 2006 by Ed_Maximized ShapedGUI Creator : Shaped gui the easy way!!!Txt2au3 : the easy way to include text files into your program without fileinstall_GUICreateWithTiledBackground : Put a GIF in the background of your formsSQLite Database BrowserAnimated GIF UDF : Put animations in your GUI's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magician13134 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Just one suggestion, there are lots of windows that get opened when you run this script, I think it'd look a little nicer if they were child windows of the main GUI...
