How To Prevent Interaction With GUI Image?

[Mulsiphix]

I use a GUI to show images that appear and disappear (helps me realize when my mic is toggled on). One of these images is dead center and overlaps with the firing crosshair in the game. Sometimes when I am left clicking with my mouse to fire, the image will appear at the same time of the mouse click. When this happens, the left-click is not registered in game and Windows plays a sound.

It seems obvious my mouse is clicking on the GUI image. Is it possible to display the image without my mouse being able to interact with it? I have tried messing with AlwaysOnTop and Disabled, but neither affect the problem.

Code: Select all

Gui, -Caption +AlwaysOnTop +Disabled +ToolWindow +LastFound

Here is one idea. viewtopic.php?p=430774#p430774

Code: Select all

Gui, % CLICKTHROUGH := "+E0x20"

This line fixed the problem for me. I added it to what I had and it works flawlessly now. Thank you so much!

0x20 is not CLICKTHROUGH.

Maybe it's WS_EX_TRANSPARENT, but I think it's just a name I gave it for convenience!

If you use WS_EX_TRANSPARENT, the curious user could google it, go here and find related info. If you use CLICKTHROUGH, it's a just a magic number.

You're right. I stand corrected. Thank you, teadrinker. I sometimes just write for my own convenience, and I didn't really think that far ahead on this one.
