If such image of windows isn't incorporated in system you are able to do it only using skins. I.e. at first you draw design of windows how you consider it need, then these pictures trace on a window. About buttons - a principle same, you draw a picture on the button. Certainly, it only in general. But the essence such - basic time of realization will borrow not a writing of a code, and drawing of pictures Wink

1) Create a window with just WS_VISIBLE style

2) Remove the WS_CAPTION by

Code:
invoke GetWindowLong,[hWnd],GWL_STYLE
mov ebx,eax
and eax,WS_CAPTION
xor eax,ebx
invoke SetWindowLong,[hWnd],GWL_STYLE,eax


3) Use SetWindowRgn to set the shape of the window CreateRoundRectRgn should do the rounded corners for you, other fun shapes use Create[Rect/Elliptic/Poly]Rgn and CombineRgn.

4) In your window procedure: WM_PAINT for painting everything on the window including custom titlebar or whatever; WM_MOUSEMOVE can be useful to make close buttons or similar without making a button control which can be drawn directly into the window.

Vasilev Slava, you have a little bug in your example - you spoil the EDI register containing the PAINTSTRUCT before call EndPaint with font handle.

But this will be the first example that doesn't work with a single tool (fasm). Maybe porting the RC script to fasm? I forgot to test Reverend's tool but now I'm on Linux again Mad

[edit]Now I tried porting it by myself but fails at dialogbox creation Sad

Code:
section '.rsrc' resource data readable
  directory RT_DIALOG,dialogs,\
            RT_BITMAP,bitmaps,\
            RT_RCDATA, regions

  resource dialogs,\
           ID_DLGMAIN,LANG_ENGLISH+SUBLANG_DEFAULT,main

  resource bitmaps,\
           ID_BMP,LANG_ENGLISH+SUBLANG_DEFAULT,info

  resource regions,\
           ID_RGN,LANG_ENGLISH+SUBLANG_DEFAULT,region

  dialog main, 0,70,70,332,176,DS_SETFONT+DS_CENTER+WS_POPUP+WS_VISIBLE, , ,'Tahoma', 8
    dialogitem 'BUTTON','_',ID_BTN1,274,3,11,10,BS_OWNERDRAW+BS_CENTER+BS_FLAT+WS_TABSTOP
    dialogitem 'BUTTON','x',ID_BTN2,288,3,11,10,BS_OWNERDRAW+BS_CENTER+BS_FLAT+WS_TABSTOP
  enddialog

  bitmap info,'info.bmp'

  resdata region
    file 'main.rgn'
  endres
; eof
[/edit]

LocoDelAssembly, I suspect you already have Microsoft Platform SDK. Anyone who hasn't and is into fasm windows programming should download the latest Platform SDK from MS (and back it up in case you lose it as it's a big download Sad )

In your "User varibles for ?" Environment varibles, in "INCLUDE", place the path to afxres.h, e.g -

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK\Include\mfc (or where ever you have it installed).

Open a new cmd window and rc should compile any rc file.


Vasilev Vjacheslav, thanks for this example, it is very much appreciated!

Vasilev Vjacheslav, I was looking at your code and noticed GradientFill is a import from msimg32.dll. On further research I found when looking at msimg32.dll imports and exports, GradientFill is just a redirect to gdi32.dll GdiGradientFill.

I replaced all the calls to msimg32.dll GradientFill with calls to gdi32.dll GdiGradientFill and sure enough it worked with no alterations.

GdiGradientFill is not in the fasm include gdi32.inc and the existence of msimg32.dll suggest what? ..... gdi32.dll GdiGradientFill is not in all Windows versions?????, hence adding it to gdi32.inc is a bad idea?????

From the resource.inc file in the fasm/include/macro directory:

Code:
macro dialogitem class,title,id,x,y,cx,cy,style,exstyle


dialogitem takes 9 parameters.

[Edit]
This is wrong: from fasm.pdf

Quote:
The dialogitem has eight required parameters and one optional.

Win32 Headers>>1.6 Resources wrote:
The dialog can take up to eleven parameters, first seven being required.


Or I'm using the incorrect include file?

MichaelH, no, I used the one that comes with MASM package so I'll download the SDK then.

Vasilev Vjacheslav, OK, I'll take a look.
