When moving a window, (Click + Drag), the window becomes semi-transparent. That's all. Can be done?  |

There's a Display setting, under Appearances>Effects, that toggles "show window contents while dragging". If you turn this off, is this what you want?

there's plenty of free utils that can do this - i thought someone would have mentioned one by now.
OR, i might be just mistaking it with the way nvidia cards can do it with the options they add to the display properties config.
if i remember the name of a program that does it, i'll post again.

I have tried to do this in ahk (it's about 10 lines of code), but my first experiment didn't work, possibly because of a, ahk bug (or i'm really dumb).
I'll post in the ahk forum the info about this to see if i get any response.

I wrote something that can help you if you are moving Forms by clicking on it, not the captionBar... if this can help you... [ copy or print] bool draging=false; bool a=false; void MoveForm() { ReleaseCapture(); SNDMSG( Form1->Handle, WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_MOVE + HTCAPTION, 0 ); } __fastcall TForm1::TForm1(TComponent* Owner) : TForm(Owner) { } //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- void __fastcall TForm1::FormMouseDown(TObject *Sender, TMouseButton Button, TShiftState Shift, int X, int Y) { draging=true; a=true; } //--------------------------------------------------------------------------- void __fastcall TForm1::FormMouseMove(TObject *Sender, TShiftState Shift, int X, int Y) { if(a) { if(draging) { Form1->AlphaBlendValue=127; MoveForm(); Form1->AlphaBlendValue=255; } } a=false; } This, off course, could be written better, but i'm in a hurry... :-) |

Here's your solution!
TransparentMove v1 created 30-09-2006: When the user presses ctrl and drags the window, it becomes trasnparent and is moved.

I don't understand, do you need this for your app, or for any window in your OS...??

Notice that the solution i presented above is a complete program. You download the ".exe" version, execute it and it'll display an icon on the tray (which should be in the right corner of the screen). To quit it, just right-click the icon and select "exit". |

No, no, jgpaiva, I downloaded your app and it's ok... i asked cheeaun this because he said: When moving a window, (Click + Drag), the window becomes semi-transparent. That's all.
Can be done? Cheeaun, do you need this in your app, or do you want your OS to behave like this...?? |
