Developer's Corner / Can somebody help me wrap my head around this?

« on: February 08, 2008, 07:23 PM »

Ok I am trying to get into my little head with very little braincells left how to use the Control_AniGif.ahk ( with the demo part of the code deleted) and the aniGIF.dll file to display animated gifs that my program needs to operate effectively. Now below is the most basic code I could think of to give me a handle without a person having to put too much effort into it. Thank you for any help in advance.

[Select]

;animatedGIF.ahk

#NoEnv
#Persistent,On
#SingleInstance,Force
SetBatchLines,-1
SetWinDelay,0
DetectHiddenWindows,On



posx:=0        ;screen x
posy:=0        ;screen y
trans:=255     ;0-255

Gui,Add,Picture, w200 h200 vpicid,XYZ.gif

Post New Requests Here / IDEA (In-Progress): Mouse Instructional Helper

« on: February 08, 2008, 01:58 PM »

First off I must thank Skrommel for the help he has given me thus far. I have taken what he has given me and I have twisted it a little more to provide the product I desire.

1. The functionality I am still lacking in this script is the ability to have functioning animated gif's.

2. There is an issue I am having with displaying the updated action. The code seams to generate a white background one time and a transparent background the next.

This is meant to be a draggable alwaysontop window (Ctrl + Left Mouse Click to Move) that displays the mouse actions being performed on the system.

Here is my code and I have played with aniGIF.dll and control to little success. (My mind is still to small for it I guess.) Any ideas or input would be greatly welcomed.

The gifs are the animations that are to go with program to give a visual aid to those watching so they have an idea what is being performed with the mouse. A simple reminder that while Skrommel may have wrote the simple basic version I have played a fair bit and probably broke the entire set of coding rules in getting things to where I am close to realizing this project as finished.
