 Posted: Thu Mar 18, 2010 6:48 am Post subject: custom scrolling msgbox |
 |
|
I am trying to make a custom scrolling message go accross a window upon a button press. I want the message to be determined by whatever is typed into a text box.
Here is an html version of what I want it to look like:
<div align="center"><FONT
color="#ffffff" size="+10"><MARQUEE bgcolor="#000080"
direction="left" loop="20" width="100%"><STRONG>This is only a test this is only a test this is only a test this is only a test this is only a test></MARQUEE></FONT></DIV>
I would like it to pop up in a window without scrollbars and width 1900 hight 50 (pixels)
I would like the gui to look like this and close and replace any currently open scrolling message that was opened by it in the past:
Gui, Add, Edit, x12 y30 w450 h40 , Edit
Gui, Add, Button, x182 y110 w100 h30 , Enter
; Generated using SmartGUI Creator 4.0
Gui, Show, x127 y87 h379 w479, New GUI Window
Return
ButtonEnter:
GuiClose:
ExitApp
I hope this is enough info, and thanks for your help. |

This is not a total solution.. Just a demo for displaying an IE control:
| Code: | #SingleInstance, Force
OnExit, QuitScript
FileDelete, % HTM := A_Temp "\marquee.htm"
FileAppend,
( Join %
<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0"><div align="center"><FONT color="#ffffff" size="+10">
<MARQUEE bgcolor="#000080" direction="left" loop="20" width="100%"><STRONG>This is only
a test this is only a test this is only a test this is only a test this is only a test
</MARQUEE></FONT></DIV>
)
, %HTM%
Gui -Caption +LastFound +Border
Gui, Margin, 0, 0
;IE Ctrl adapted from Sean's Code : www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=103987#103987
CLSID := "{8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2}"
VarSetCapacity( IWEB,16 ) , NumPut( 0xD30C1661,IWEB ), NumPut( 0X11D0CDAF,IWEB,4 )
NumPut( 0XC0003E8A,IWEB,8 ), NumPut( 0X6EE2C94F,IWEB,12 )
hModule := DllCall( "LoadLibrary", Str,"atl.dll" ), DllCall( "atl\AtlAxWinInit" )
hCtrl := DllCall( "CreateWindowEx", UInt,0, Str,"AtlAxWin", UInt,&CLSID, UInt,0x50000000
, Int,0, Int,0, Int,A_ScreenWidth+50, Int,55, UInt,WinExist(), UInt,0, UInt,0, UInt,0 )
DllCall( "atl\AtlAxGetControl", UInt,hCtrl, UIntP,ppunk )
DllCall( NumGet( NumGet( ppunk+0 )+4*0 ), UInt,ppunk, UInt,&IWEB, UIntP,ppwb )
DllCall( NumGet( NumGet( ppunk+0 )+4*2 ), UInt,ppunk ), pwb := NumGet( ppwb+0 )
Url := HTM
VarSetCapacity( wUrl,StrLen(Url)*2+2 ), Unicode( Url,wUrl ), VarSetCapacity( var,8*2,0 )
DllCall( NumGet(pwb+4*11),UInt,ppwb,UInt,&wUrl,UInt,&var,UInt,&var,UInt,&var,UInt,&var )
Gui, Show, % "y0 h55 w" A_ScreenWidth
Return ; - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - // end of auto-execute section
Unicode(ByRef sS, ByRef wS) {
DllCall( "MultiByteToWideChar",UInt,0,UInt,0,UInt,&sS,Int,-1,UInt,&wS, Int,StrLen(sS)+1 )
}
Return
QuitScript:
GuiEscape:
DllCall( NumGet(pwb+4*2),UInt,ppwb )
ExitApp |

SKAN,
Thanks so much that is perfect. I am very green in coding, can that be centered at the top? Also I noticed it was referencing a PHP file right? What happens if the server its on goes away? Any Ideas on how to get the text to change in an easy GUI? If you have any ideas I could pay you for your time, as this is for a pet project of mine. |

Trivial:

I have updated my code. Please try it again.

I do not think so. I altered your HTML code in Dreamweaver only to apply webpage margins of zero to Left & Top... Only to tight-fit the marquee so it fills the entire IE control.
Also notice that IE control width is larger than the GUI Width by 50 pixels.. This is avoid the scrollbar from being displayed.

Please allow me some time.. I am occupied right now and will try to post it tommorow.
