 |

Is it possible to use this as a background with a tab. I am trying, but cannot make the tab transparent for the image to show through |

I do not think so. Most of the standard controls use window color to paint it background and to workaround it would be a great mess. |

|
|
SKAN, I'd been using variants of your programs, with a hotkey to tile
all windows or cascade them. I'd like to have a little more control
though, but don't know if it can be done:
1. tile only selected windows
Say there are 5 windows on the desktop. I'd like to tile just 2 of them (select with Control-LMB) ie. the 2 selected windows gets tiled on top of the other windows.
2. Cascade all windows based on a selected windows
size
Say there're 5 windows on the desktop. I resize one of them (thus it becomes the topmost window) and cascade all windows. All windows sizes will be the same size as the selected one, but cascaded behind it.
Thanks. |

I do not get the idea. The exact facility is already available in XP atleast.
You may select any number of Windows from taskbar with Ctrl+LButton and right click and select Tile windows from Context menu

For custom cascading, we will have to use WinMove on every other window on Desktop.. |

Great works SKAN,
This thread is so long that I fear that the very important:
How to Hook on to Shell to receive its messages is
lost in the sauce.
But anyway, could you add an experiment or thread or PM me
on how to get instant onMessage notification of when a screensaver
activates. Hopefully it should work on W98-XP-Vista all windows
versions.
This thread says that your technique could do this but I can't see it anywhere. orbik said in:

Visioneer, Sorry for the late reply.

| Code: | Process, Priority,, High
Gui +LastFound
hWnd := WinExist()
DllCall( "RegisterShellHookWindow", UInt,hWnd )
MsgNum := DllCall( "RegisterWindowMessage", Str,"SHELLHOOK" )
OnMessage( MsgNum, "ShellMessage" )
Return
ShellMessage( wParam,lParam ) {
If ( wParam = 1 ) ; HSHELL_WINDOWCREATED := 1
{
WinGet, PN, ProcessName, ahk_id %lParam%
If ( SubStr(PN,-3) = ".scr" )
SetTimer, ScreenSaverHandler, -1
}
}
ScreenSaverHandler:
Send {Esc} ; Cancel ScreenSaver
MsgBox, ScreenSaver was detected and cancelled immediately
Return |

| RegisterShellHookWindow does not exist in Win98SE's user32.dll so the above doesn't work. Not sure about WinME, but I guess the info at MSDN is accurate that it has only been implemented beginning with Win2000. |

SKAN you are the greatest! this has helped out so much 
a couple notes i have: on experiment 3 (the volume OSD), where you have
If ( wParam = 12 AND ( (lParam>>16) >= 8 OR (lParam>>16) <= 10) )
you should have
If ( wParam = 12 AND ( (lParam>>16) >= 8 AND (lParam>>16) <= 10) )
otherwise the OSD triggers for every wParam=12 event
also, for anybody out there using a standard DELL multimedia keyboard (such as SK-8135 ), it might be helpful to note that the volume wheel uses (lParam>>16)=4106 for volume up and (lParam>>16)=4105 for volume down

Vista Start Button is a not a standard button (or) is not a button at all. ( you can see it with AU3 spy utility ). I do not know of a way to hide/alter it. |

I know and I have been using it for few months, but what I don't like about it is that its always running in the background and sometimes it stops working and I have to kill it and start it again.
But oh well... better than nothing
Thanks for taking the time to try and help anyway 
I love you |

| Found this helpful. wparam 28931 was required to make this work correctly under XP, but using a windows spy, wparam 41504 is posted when the user initiates the process not 28931. Is there a reason for this? |
