 |
|
Hi forum,
is it possible to briefly show a red (circular) dot at the cursor position (in order to signal a certain state change of a script)?
Kind of like this: 
Thanks
David.P |

Uaahh thanks that's amazing....!
Me hovewer was more like looking for a "two lines of code" solution for a simple circle... 
Is that possible -- maybe with a simple GUI command and then WinSet Region, or something...........?
Thanks David.P |

A circle will not be possible I think, since there is no circle control, a square should be no problem, using WinSet,TransColor...

Thanks -- that's hovewer another 250 lines and I don't even find the relevant ones that actually draw the thing
Unfortunately I can't find any other examples on the forum either...
Well I think I'll have to come up with some code myself  |

200 of those lines are INI, an about box, and configuration menu. So 50 is all you need and you probably won't find much room to cut down the number of lines.

Try this, it will be shown when you hold CTRL: | Code: | Gui,+LastFound
Gui,Color,FF0000
hwnd:=WinExist()
Gui,Show,NA w100 h100
WinSet,Region,30-30 W40 H40 E,ahk_id %hwnd%
WinSet,Transparent,150,ahk_id %hwnd%
Gui,Hide
Return
~Ctrl::
MouseGetPos,x,y
Gui,Show,% "x " x-50 "y" y-50
KeyWait, CTRL
Gui,Hide
Return
Esc::
GuiClose:
ExitApp |

you hadn't asked for that. It is only going to show where the mouse was when Ctrl was pressed.
| Code: |
Gui,+LastFound
Gui,Color,FF0000
hwnd:=WinExist()
Gui,Show,NA w100 h100
WinSet,Region,30-30 W40 H40 E,ahk_id %hwnd%
WinSet,Transparent,150,ahk_id %hwnd%
Gui,Hide
Return
~Ctrl::
MouseGetPos,x,y
SetTimer, showit, 50
KeyWait, CTRL
SetTimer, showit, Off
Gui,Hide
Return
showit:
Gui,Show,% "x " x-50 "y" y-50
Return
Esc::
GuiClose:
ExitApp |

Whoaa guys! That's it! 
Well done, and the core of it is basically only about ~10 lines...
Thanks! This will be very useful to signal certain state changes of a script to the user.
Cheers David.P |
