Transparent Rich Text Box - William - 29-05-2006 Difficulty: 1/5 Put this in modDeclares: Code: Public Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long, ByVal dwNewLong As Long) As Long And put this in Form_Load in the form that has the rich text box that you want transparent: Code: Dim result As Long txtChat is the name of the rich text box. Done! - Rian - 30-05-2006 This just doesn't seem to work :? First of all, I could only get the code to run by placing Code: Private Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long, ByVal dwNewLong As Long) As Long Into frmMirage code. After that though, it still didn't work. Are there some sort of specific settings the rich text box needs in order for this to work? - Obsidian - 30-05-2006 Change Code: Private Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long, ByVal dwNewLong As Long) As Long The Private Part... Just Make it Public so it works with the entire project, not just individual codes. As far as the rest goes... i haven't tested it yet, but i'll try it out later and see what's going on. - William - 30-05-2006 Ohh, yeah in my source Im using: Code: Private Declare Function SetWindowLong Because I have that in the same form as the rich text box. And forgot to make it Public. Tutorial Fixed. - Da Undead - 17-05-2007 This doesnt work ![]() - Matt - 17-05-2007 Yes this does work. Perfectly. Just follow the very first part of the tut, if you don't try to add anything else and do exactly what it says, it works perfectly. - William - 17-05-2007 Of Course it works, its my tut ![]() - Da Undead - 17-05-2007 well when i put the chatbox over the game screen and tested it, it only show up when i say something and it'll be on for like .5 seconds... and it wasn't transparent. ![]() - Rezeyu - 17-05-2007 Then you did something wrong. If it keeps refreshing then the txtbox must be updating over and over, which means you're sending soemthing to that box too often. Or something. In any case, it does work, You can look at the screenshots of my transparent boxes in the gallery section. - Da Undead - 18-05-2007 Well doesn't work for me :\ Could be fact that im using elysium debugged tho.. heh - Ramsey - 18-05-2007 Da Undead Wrote:Well doesn't work for me :\ Personally, I don't like Elysium DeBugged. I like an almost completely empty source like Mirage Source because you can customize more things and it makes your game unique. Elysium DeBugged has a lot of features but it doesn't give you the pride of making it. - Matt - 18-05-2007 This won't work directly over a blitted area. You have to blit it to the screen if you want that, instead of doing this. If you try this, over a textured picture box, you will see that it works perfectly. - William - 18-05-2007 Advocate Wrote:This won't work directly over a blitted area.

How would one go about blitting this to the screen? - Matt - 23-05-2007 Roughly the way the player name is blitted. - William - 23-05-2007 Braydok Wrote:That explains my problem.Basicly the same way rhe defult text is blitted when you ttýpe. Re: Transparent Rich Text Box - Da Undead - 22-06-2007 I put this on top of frmMirage code Code: Private Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long, ByVal dwNewLong As Long) As Long And here my form_load sub.. Code: Private Sub Form_Load() No work ![]() Re: - Rezeyu - 23-06-2007 Perfekt Wrote:This won't work directly over a blitted area.

Re: Transparent Rich Text Box - Da Undead - 23-06-2007 Im trying to get it transparent over the GUI picture =\. Re: Transparent Rich Text Box - Reece - 23-06-2007 Da Undead Wrote:Im trying to get it transparent over the GUI picture =\. Have you downloaded MSE and seen if it works in there? If it does, its your fault. Re: Transparent Rich Text Box - Da Undead - 23-06-2007 No, but it should work because its not using variables from elysium.... Could it have to do with the name of it? Private Sub Form_Load() ? Re: Transparent Rich Text Box - Coke - 23-06-2007 :lol: Re: Transparent Rich Text Box - Da Undead - 24-06-2007 I mean like should it be like Public Sub cuz i never learned wat difference was between Private and Public heh.. Re: Transparent Rich Text Box - Coke - 24-06-2007 Private means its specific to that module or form, no other forms or modules can call it, public means it can be called from any other form or module :] Re: Transparent Rich Text Box - Robin - 24-06-2007 Seen as though the other code is initialised in that sub, it's something else you've done. |
