Transpernet Region

[qWord]

Back to your problem:

Code Select Expand

invoke GetWindowRect,hWnd,ADDR WndRect
mov hWndRgn,rv(CreateRectRgn,WndRect.left,WndRect.top,WndRect.right,WndRect.bottom)

; client -> screen
m2m WndRect.right,WndRect.left
m2m WndRect.bottom,WndRect.top
add WndRect.left,40
add WndRect.top,60
add WndRect.right,170
add WndRect.bottom,170

mov hHoleRgn,rv(CreateRectRgn,WndRect.left,WndRect.top,WndRect.right,WndRect.bottom)
invoke CombineRgn,hWndRgn,hWndRgn,hHoleRgn,RGN_XOR
invoke DeleteObject,hHoleRgn
invoke SetWindowRgn,hWnd,hWndRgn,1

Thank you I will give this a try tonight .....

[hfheatherfox07]

that should be easy to fix
use a different color, like violet, for the pixels that you do want to be transparent
(or some other color that isn't used elsewhere in the image)

i think GdiTransparentBlt is the function to use   :U

I wish that worked ...all it does is creates a glass hole any were that color is  :(

That did not work for me the window did not show ... I even tried using a layered window ...

Also I think I am tackling this the whole wrong way ...... lets do a portion of the window transparent like a static ..... I have spent 2 days on this only this dozen of examples and nothing  :(

I found this page http://www.wasm.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=229896

no need to register to download attachments ...may be this will give me some ideas

Well I found the Culprit... WS_CHILD ...how can I create a static or window using create WindowEX with out having the child characteristics ????
I found this but I can not get it to work for just a simple static with out a child

http://www.masm32.com/board/index.php?PHPSESSID=46ef2b49016081a619356419651674f0&topic=17569.0

here is the Idea that I had .... I removed WS_EX_Layered in the create windowEX in the opaque.inc  so you have to move the window around ....
why do I gain child propertied when I add  ws_ex_transparent or  WS_EX_Layered

move the window around to see what I mean

LOL.....

In the mean time I dug this example up ..... I will have have to view it carefully it looks complex .....
Please see the read me to see what each hot button does

Code Select Expand

USAGE

1) Dialog left double-click:  trigger  Dialog +/- Caption

2) Dialog right click:  trigger  Controls +/- Layered

3) Drag Dialog (press left mouse button}

4) Drag Control (press CTRL key + left mouse button)


[hfheatherfox07]

This has been driving me crazy ...I know it is possible with MASM I have seen it ....

@six_L that was not what I was after .....   It is 2 windows ....Look at your tray bar you see 2 windows .... in order for this to to be a true movable staic it needs to be in the main window and stay there when you move the main window .....
I don't even want it movable .....
That why I disregarded this example when I first linked it 3 posts up .....

How would you make this not movable and as one unit???
