Hi, I have troubles showing the transparent png picture on a dark background. The picture has a gradual transparency on the edges (anti aliasing) to ensure smooth edges but those are colored white on a dark background. When opened in the image editor, it shows correctly. My simple code is below. Do ...

Thanks for this. Unfortunately it doesn't help.
I cannot understand why MS introduces gui colors which cannot be changed.

Thanks for your response. This works for checkbox control although the style gets old fashioned with 3D effect.
However this doesn't work for a checkboxes on a ListView control. I tried the -theme for a control and the whole gui without any impact.

Any idea?

think

I just installed Windows 11 and tested few of my scripts. Everything works well so far which is good. However I see some visual changes, for example, I have a window with checkboxes which are now colored dark blue when selected. This does not match with my gui color scheme so the obvious question is...

Thank you, this works. I believe this is the only way.

Sorry, it doesn't work, maybe I described the request poorly. - The gui is only opened once and than stays always on top, like a floating toolbar. - Edit control on the gui should be editable. - Send button should paste the control's current text to the currently active window (window in which user ...

Thanks. Any other idea to avoid gui flickering?

Hi, I'm trying to make a simple always on top gui containing the editable edit control and a Send button to send the content of the edit control to the active window. I know I could use +E0x08000000 option for that but in this case I cannot edit the control. Pressing Send button should send the text...

Thanks. The only thing I’m still not sure I understand - what’s the difference between ahkTerminate(100) and ahk Terminate(-100)?

think

Negative number will terminate thread if it cannot exit after given time, in that case the thread will not have a chance to clear memory and such. So if I understand correctly ahkTerminate(-100) waits 100ms before forcing the termination? In case of, for example, ahkTerminate(200), what happens aft...

think

Thanks. What about the general usage of ahkTerminate? Is ahkTerminate(-1) ok?

think

In some cases when ahkThread containing ComObjCreate is run for the second time, ahkTerminate is having issues to terminate it. See the example below - if CreateItem is done in two lines it doesn't work. I know this would be solved by adding m:="""" to the end of the string to release the variable. ...

Thank you for such a fast reply. It works. :) There are some limitations though, I was not able to enter amounts >40. color:="2d78d6" amts:="-40,-20,0,20,40" loop, parse, amts, `, { ncolor:=Format("{:X}", LightenDarkenColor(color, A_LoopField)) gui, add, progress, w50 h50 background%ncolor% } gui, s...

I have searched the forum for the script which would lighten or darken the hex color without luck. Instead I found a javascript code here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5560248/programmatically-lighten-or-darken-a-hex-color-or-rgb-and-blend-colors Can anyone suggest how to change this into Aut...

That was fast, thank you!

Trying to use ahk_h to evaluate the expression in a string.

Thank you very much!

Hi HotKeyIt, after a while I have noticed that AhkPostFunction is not working for me in all cases - I'm getting freezes in some scenarios.

As an alternative you mentioned SetTimer - would it be possible to demonstrate this solution? Thanks.

think

Thanks HotKeyIt, much appreciated!

think

Thank you very much HotKeyIt. Few more questions please:

- Do you recommend using DynaCall instead of my DllCall/A_AhkExe? Any disadvantage or potential issue?
- How is it possible to send multiple function parameters (Text1, Text2, Text3)? Example?
- What is the meaning of i=sssssssss part?
