  • Invisible window

    Guys --
    I want to create "transparent" popup window.
    This means that windows, which covers my window should be visible so, like w/o my window.
    But if user clicks a mouse, for example, this event will come to my window.

    Simple preventing redrawing in WM_ERASEBKGND doesn't help. Exactly it helps on initial step only.
    To invalidate desktop window each time is not interesting.

    Any ideas ?

    Semen,

    I do use a CreateWindowEx popup window using a %NULL brush for background
    in such a case.

      try this. Move the second window over the screen.

      To cancel - Alt-F4.

          I guess I'm confused too but someone here helped me when I had to make my window invisible for a spy program, so here's the window portion of that code:

            Nice code, but actually another situation.

            I added some statements to show, what I want.
            Click button outside "GUI window". Should be BEEP (under NT/2000).
            This talks that invisible window is present.
            Try to move "GUI window".

            But there are some problems:
            1) it doesn't work after switching to another app (it's possible to fix)
            2) more important (what I want to avoid) - a lot of operations
            Permanent redrawing of whole screen during moving/sizing of "GUI window".

            Code:
               #Compile Exe
               #Dim All
               #Register None
               #Include "WIN32API.INC"
            
               Global hWndMain As Long, hWndChild As Long
            
               Function WndProc1 (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, _
                  ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
                  
                  Select Case wMsg
                     Case %WM_ACTIVATEAPP, %WM_SETTINGCHANGE, %WM_WININICHANGE
                        Dim hDC As Long, hMemDC As Static Long, hWndD As Long, bmp As Static BITMAP, hMemBmp As Static Long, hBmpOld As Long
                        
                        If (wMsg = %WM_ACTIVATEAPP) And (wParam = 0) Then
                        Else
                           DeleteObject hMemDC: DeleteObject hMemBmp

              >> 2) more important (what I want to avoid) - a lot of operations

              See hWndMain for the minor change I did to your code to avoid permanent redrawing
              while moving/sizing of your hWndChild.
              See also the code '*' that has been disabled (rem)

                  I tested under Win95 - WS_EX_TRANSPARENT also works fine.
                  But now - a new problem.
                  In certain cases I need to pass events (processing should be the same as w/o "transparent" window).
                  For example, mouse click in some areas.
                  I guess that it's possible to move transparent window outside screen, to execute MouseEvent, and to return transparent window back.

                  But looks enough stupid. Is there another way ?

                    You can create "holes" in your transparent window using regions.
                    This will allow you to click in some areas.

                    You could also create your transparent window as a static window and
                    make it a child of the desktop window, and let it pass mouse click to
                    its parent using %SS_NOTIFY, but then there is no advantage in using
                    a transparent window.
