Gdip - Draw a line animation Topic is solved

[SirSocks]

I’m brand new to Gdip. How can a line animation be drawn using Gdip? See the gif below.
An example script with comments would be very helpful.

All help and guidance is appreciated. Thank you.

most basic example

Code: Select all

SetUpGDIP()
pen := Gdip_CreatePen(0xffff0000,5)
setTimer, showLine, -1

showLine:
	mouseGetPos,x,y
	StartDrawGDIP()
	;ClearDrawGDIP()
	Gdip_DrawLine(G, pen, 0, 0, x,y)	
	EndDrawGDIP()
	setTimer, showLine, -1
	tooltip %x%`,%y%
return

#Include Gdip.ahk
#Include GdipHelper.ahk

Canvas.ahk https://github.com/Uberi/Canvas-AHK is also really good. I would suggest taking a look at that to if you are in the beginning stages.

@Hellbent That's some nice clean code! I will defiantly experiment with your example. Thanks alot for your help.
By the way, Custom Gui Image Button is super awesome!

NP.

If you ever make any button designs I would love to get a copy of the button theme object.
