Non-Transparent background in exe for SysAnimate32

[khemu]

Why is there a difference in control displays when running them through QM and as an exe ?

Eg - Animation object is transparent in QM and non-trans in exe (see images)

Code:

Copy      Help

SetWinStyle han ACS_CENTER|ACS_TRANSPARENT 1

Also, the treeview and listview controls do not inherit windows style when run through exe. However, from QM all controls display perfectly.

Here works well in exe too.

Example.

Function DlgAnim

Code:

Copy      Help

\Dialog_Editor
function# hDlg message wParam lParam
if(hDlg) goto messages

if(!ShowDialog("DlgAnim" &DlgAnim)) ret

;BEGIN DIALOG
;0 "" 0x90C80A44 0x100 0 0 250 250 "Dialog"
;3 SysAnimate32 0x54000000 0x0 0 0 96 48 ""
;END DIALOG
;DIALOG EDITOR: "" 0x2020002 "" ""

ret
;messages
sel message
,case WM_INITDIALOG
,int han=id(3 hDlg)
,SetWinStyle han ACS_TRANSPARENT 1
,SendMessage han ACM_OPEN 0 "C:\WINDOWS\clock.avi"
,int from=0 ;;beginning
,int to=-1 ;;end
,int repeat=-1 ;;indefinitely
,SendMessage han ACM_PLAY repeat to<<16|from
,case WM_DESTROY
,case WM_COMMAND goto messages2
ret
;messages2
sel wParam
,case IDOK
,case IDCANCEL
ret 1

You need QM 2.2.0, or declare the constants etc.

[Gintaras]

I guess you have QM 2.2.0 and create exe without manifest. You can use default manifest $qm$\default.exe.manifest

Yup...it was the manifest.

Thx, G
