Child gui is always behind Parent gui Topic is solved

[kyuuuri]

Introduction
Hello, I've been trying to get this script to work but the child gui is ALWAYS behind the parent gui.
I'm testing this script on both w10 and w7, both 64 bits with latest version of ahk.

Code

Code: Select all

Gui, background:New, +hwndhParent
Gui, background:Add, Picture, x0 y0 h250 w250, website.jpg

Gui, child: New, +Parentbackground +HWNDhChild1 -0x80000000 +0x40000000 +E0x00010000
Gui, child: Add, Picture, x5 y5 w500 h500, Moon.jpg
Gui, child: -Caption
gui, child: Show, x18 y17
gui, background: show, x0 y0 h500 w500, testBug

Moon:


Panda:


Expected behaviour
The moon should be on top of the panda. (Child on top of Parent)

Current behaviour
The panda is on top of the moon. (Parent on top of child)

What I tried
I tried changing the order of the gui commands but still, nothing worked.


Hope you can help me, thanks in advance.

See if this works for you.

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance, Force
#NoEnv
SetBatchLines, -1

Gui,1:+AlwaysOnTop

Gui,2:+Parent1
Gui,2:Color,Black
Gui,2:Show,x0 y0 w100 h100

Gui,1:Show,w200 h200

return
GuiClose:
GuiContextMenu:
*ESC::
	ExitApp

Nop, I don't want the parent gui to be always on top. Also the child gui is still behind the parent gui.

If you want the reversed result, why not reverse the parent/child relationship? Disclaimer, I don't even remember what is parent/child relation.
Cheers.

Because that won't behave as expected. I need the parent gui to be the parent and the child to be the child.
This parent gui will have a lot of childs and I can't reverse the child parent thing.
There are features that I need, for example when moving the parent gui, the child will move with it.

We'll have to wait for the gui-gurus to save the day then

Cheers.

Moving the parent Pic control after the 2nd window is created seems to make a difference for me.

Code: Select all

Gui, background:New, +hwndhParent
Gui, child: New, +Parentbackground +HWNDhChild1 -0x80000000 +0x40000000 +E0x00010000
Gui, child: Add, Picture, x5 y5 w500 h500 BackgroundTrans, website.jpg
Gui, child: -Caption
gui, child: Show, x18 y17
gui, background: show, x0 y0 h500 w500, testBug
Gui, background:Add, Picture, x0 y0 h250 w250 BackgroundTrans, Moon.jpg

If having the child window show transparency is something you want, you may want to consider using a Layered Window. Similar to this, but yours would only require 1 layered window whereas this one uses 3.

Hello, I need to be compatible with windows 7.

Moving the parent Pic control after the 2nd window is created seems to make a difference for me.

Code: Select all

Gui, background:New, +hwndhParent
Gui, child: New, +Parentbackground +HWNDhChild1 -0x80000000 +0x40000000 +E0x00010000
Gui, child: Add, Picture, x5 y5 w500 h500 BackgroundTrans, website.jpg
Gui, child: -Caption
gui, child: Show, x18 y17
gui, background: show, x0 y0 h500 w500, testBug
Gui, background:Add, Picture, x0 y0 h250 w250 BackgroundTrans, Moon.jpg

That works BUT if I submit the child gui and then show it again, the child gui will be behind the parent again.

Gui, background:New, +hwndhParent -caption

This does that for me. Give it a try.

That's a good workaround, is there any way to set the redraw option for the entire gui? My parent gui will have more controls than a simple picture

I was thinking winset, but I didn't bother to look it up.

Here replace the code in the f4 hotkey with this

Code: Select all

gui, child:show,
Gui, child:+LastFound
WinSet, Redraw

Found another problem, if I alt tab the parent will be on top of the child again. I believe this is a bug in how ahk handles guis.

@Edit: also if the child gui has transparent background, when I use redraw I can click through the entire gui, even through the parent.

@edit2: I don't understand how other apps do this. All I need is that 1 main gui and inside it more guis without caption or borders, so I can navigate between those by hiding and showing them.
The only alternatives I know are:
Parent: buggy as hell. Child behind parent, problems with transparency, etc.
Owner: buggy as hell as well. Child not tied to owner, coords non-relative to parent, moving parent doesn't move the child, can alt-tab to child guis even if they don't have the task bar icon, etc.

[Hellbent]

Ok, I think I have it.

***Edit***
Fixed a issue with the button displaying in certain cases

I found the fix.

The problem was caused by an image on the parent gui.
My structure was:

Code: Select all

+ ParentGui with backgroundImage
	+ ChildGui with controls

To fix the problem I simply added another child gui between them:

Code: Select all

+ ParentGui
	+ ChildGui with backgroundImage
	+ ChildGui with controls

That sounds a lot like the code I posted and removed, but there was still some issues with controls like buttons on the "background" gui.
It worked perfectly, except if a control had the cursor over it when the hotkey was pressed.

You need to use a parent gui without any controls because if you don't then the controls will overlap between the child guis.
Then with the order of the child guis you have the order in the Z axis (front, back).

Cool, I had played around with a bunch of combos but none had the desired effect. Thanks for sharing your solution.
