simple square of my size, my location with my text

[guldamkwak]

I just want to show a simple square, possibly transparent, of my size, my location , with my text inside of it. Can you give me a simple code snippet illustrates how to do this?
thanks.

Code: Select all

square1 := square(100, 100, 200, "Yellow", "My text"   , 20, 150)
square2 := square(500, 500, 100, "Red"   , "Red square", 10)

square(x, y, boxEdge, color, text, fontSize, transparency := 255) { ; Show a colored square with text

Try running this script by itself as a first step.

Code: Select all

square1 := square(100, 100, 200, "Yellow", "My text"   , 20, 150)
square2 := square(500, 500, 100, "Red"   , "Red square", 10)

square(x, y, boxEdge, color, text, fontSize, transparency := 255) { ; Show a colored square with text
 ; https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?p=433517#p433517
 textY := (boxEdge - fontSize * A_ScreenDPI / 72) / 2
 Gui, New, -Caption -Border +LastFound +HwndhWnd +Owner
 Gui, Font, s%fontSize%
 Gui, Margin, 0, 0
 Gui, Add, Progress, w%boxEdge% h%boxEdge% c%color%, 100
 Gui, Add, Text    , xm y%textY% wp BackgroundTrans Center, %text%
 Gui, Show, x%x% y%y%, Square
 WinSet, Transparent, %transparency%
 Return hWnd
}

In that case, If I add more and more squares, than the former squares appear fisrt. For example square1 apperas first than square2

You can change the order to be whatever you want. What the script does: "i Want different sqaures show at the same time."
