IDEA: Click-through window
(1/1)
patchett:
My idea for a simple utility is one which will lock a window from input without locking the window itself. With WinLock (also on this site) clicking a locked window results in no action (other than a sound indicating that the action cannot be performed), this utility will result in, shall we say, a ghost window which will allow clicks to pass through to the window below it.
In application, this could be used with WinWarden to create an always-on-top transparent window which can be clicked through to the windows below.
I do not believe this has been suggested before, though I could be wrong.

This is actually really easy to do using AutoHotkey. Consider the following hotkeys:
--- Code: Autohotkey ---#1:: ; Win-1 hotkey{ WinSet, AlwaysOnTop, On , A WinSet, ExStyle , +0x80020, A WinSet, Transparent, 125 , A}Return #2:: ; Win-2 hotkey{ WinSet, AlwaysOnTop, Off , A WinSet, ExStyle , -0x80020, A WinSet, Transparent, 255 , A}Return
Focus the window you want and press Win-1. To reverse it, focus the window using the taskbar or alt-tab (since you can't click it) and press Win-2.
