problem with #gwl_exstyle gadgets wont show up!!

doodlemunch · Post by **doodlemunch** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 7:47 am

hi SetWindowLong_(WindowID(#Win),#GWL_EXSTYLE,GetWindowLong_(WindowID(#Win),#GWL_EXSTYLE)|$00080000)

i have to set my window like that so i can use gdi plus and draw some stuff on it

but when i want to place a gadget on the window i can not see it
why?!! how to fix it??

thx!

doodlemunch · Post by **doodlemunch** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 7:39 pm

any winapi gurus ???
i can not solve this i do not know why it is not drawin my gadget!

I'm in a bit of hurry, can you make a simple example where you add gadgets to the window?

I am not an api guru, but I am very experienced dealing with api.

doodlemunch · Post by **doodlemunch** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 7:51 pm

i just have no error on creatin the gadget that is ok it only does not work when i do this

SetWindowLong_(WindowID(#Win),#GWL_EXSTYLE,GetWindowLong_(WindowID(#Win),#GWL_EXSTYLE)|$00080000)

and then i call this after some other code

UpdateLayeredWindow_()

it displais my png with shadow correctely but my gadgets are long gone will never apear

how can i make a window with no bakground so i can place it over this one at least?

Without seeing some code, it's difficult to debug.

What is the result returned by UpdateLayeredWindow_(), zero or nonzero

What is the result returned by GetLastError_()

doodlemunch · Post by **doodlemunch** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 8:09 pm

UpdateLayeredWindow_()
gives 1

after callin that if i call GetLastError_() i get 8
?

but my png is displayed niceley i just can not see my gadgets!

Need to see your code.

i just wantet to addd gadgets

u will need a png file to test this

with the calls i can not see my button why? is the image being over it?
i want the image as background

Layered windows are not meant to be used with controls. You would have to handle all mouse stuff yourself.

i just see a white rectangel with transparent "hello world" text hmm
i only want to display text over this window how could i do it? i can not save a temp image first cos pb wont load and save my alpha data! (sucks)

Sparkie · Post by **Sparkie** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 9:52 pm

Why are you using a layered window in the first place

Why not just use the image for the window background and eliminate the GDI+ and layered window?

doodlemunch · Post by **doodlemunch** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 9:59 pm

because it has an alpha channel!

Sparkie · Post by **Sparkie** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 10:14 pm

Ok, now I see what you're trying to do.

Sparkie · Post by **Sparkie** » Fri Feb 03, 2006 10:38 pm

Does this work for you.

It uses a png (with alpha channel) for the window background. Just make sure to change the image path and the RGB() color for the #LWA_COLORKEY in the SetLayeredWindowAttributes_() function.

Code: Select all

UsePNGImageDecoder() 
#LWA_ALPHA = 2
#LWA_COLORKEY = 1
#WS_EX_LAYERED = $80000
imageBG$ = ("PATH_TO_PNG_IMAGE") 
myImage = LoadImage(0, imageBG$)
