Windows API is stupid!

Works sometimes and other times the transparency goes away...

Yes, i have the same problem
I have always the square brown.

XP SP2

Otherwise, very nice......especially for me, who research to create a little personage like this

Congratulation, you are great

Love it

Ha, interesting. Fixed.

Yes, you are right, it's fixed now

It's more better without the brown square

You are really a great frog

Now and for a long time ago, i don't eat any frog

Especialy, if she have tooth

Because, it's dangerous, perhaps i already eat a C programer, or a Delphi programer

Nobody know that, but apparently the frog have a big brain

I'm very interesting for create a personage like that, but more large.
It's there difficult to found on the web a personage with all the positions possibles on a green, blue or blank background

Thanks again for this genial executable.

This is realy great, i put it secretly on my friend's computer in startup, he was so scared it was a virus

Small update:

- Fixed an issue where clicking a lot on the window near the end could have caused an IMA

- Added single-instance enforcement

- Source is released

You'll need the sounds and pictures: https://lloydsplace.com/winapistupid.zip

I got the builder sprites free from here: http://reinerstileset.4players.de/

The program could be made smaller by using gdiplus to tilt the window and using small sprites to update only the dented part of the window, but these are more work and I'm too lazy...

Kwai chang caine · Post by **Kwai chang caine** » Mon Jun 23, 2008 11:49 am

I don't know if it's the fault of the PC of my job, but i have tried to run your code and your exe on it and i have some problem

This macine works on W2000 SP4, is it normal ???

netmaestro · Post by **netmaestro** » Mon Jun 23, 2008 12:08 pm

The code uses gdiplus to load the png images, and I believe gdiplus doesn't ship with w2000. But gdiplus.dll is a free download from Microsoft, so you could DL it and put it in \system32 and see if it works now.

Thanks a lot, NETMAESTRO
