HWND_TOPMOST not working ?

Post by conjure » Sun Sep 27, 2020 1:37 pm

I used to run this compiled exe, with no problem , and HWND_TOPMOST was working fine.
After i added an icon to my executable, HWND_TOPMOST does not work anymore.
i didn't touch the code. What is wrong? Is it a bug?

Code: Select all


// COMPILE_OPTS|C:\Users\PC6\Desktop\SplashPositions.exe|R:\Hopstarter-Orb-Real-One.ico|CONSOLE=0|INCLUDES=1| /NOSYSTRAY /HIDE|RUNTIMES=1|BMPS=1
VBSTART

'Kills a process given its process name

Sub killProcess(pgm)

  set wmi = getobject("winmgmts:")

  sQuery = "select * from win32_process " & "where name='" & pgm & "'"

  set processes = wmi.execquery(sQuery)

  for each process in processes

    process.terminate

  next

End Sub



'returns the number of copies of ProcessName that are running

'will return 0 if ProcessName is not running

Function IsProcessRunning(ProcessName)

    Set oWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")

    Set colProcessList = oWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select Name from Win32_Process where Name='" & ProcessName & "'")

    IsProcessRunning = colProcessList.count

End Function

VBEND
VBStart
Sub Kill(Process)
 Dim oShell : Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
 oShell.Run "taskkill /f /im " & Process, , True
End Sub
VBEND

Re: HWND_TOPMOST not working ?

Post by conjure » Mon Sep 28, 2020 7:00 am

I found that i have to use SetDialogProperty>SplashScreen1,,Formstyle,fsStayOnTop
Now i am having problem with the reset dialog.
I read that it does not work anymore on MS15.
Can someone tell me how to update the label inside the dialog?

Code: Select all


Dialog>SplashScreen1
   Caption=SplashScreen1


   Width=1
   Height=20
   Top=815
   Left=730
   Max=0
   Min=0
   Close=1
   Resize=0
Sec>Seconds


   Label=%Seconds%,5,0,true
EndDialog>SplashScreen1
SetDialogObjectFont>SplashScreen1,msLabel1,Tahoma,28,1,255
//Borderless Dialog
LibFunc>user32,SetWindowLongA,sres,SplashScreen1.handle,-16,1073741824
SetDialogProperty>SplashScreen1,,Formstyle,fsStayOnTop
Show>SplashScreen1
ResizeWindow>SplashScreen1,150,150
Label>Loop
  Wait>0.01
  //The next four lines only needed for compiled scripts
  Let>WIN_USEHANDLE=1
    GetWindowPos>SplashScreen1.handle,Dialog1X,Dialog1Y
    MoveWindow>SplashScreen1.handle,Dialog1X,Dialog1Y
      Let>WIN_USEHANDLE=0


Sec>Seconds


  SetDialogProperty>SplashScreen1,Label,,%Seconds%

msg Seconds

To update a label just use the SetDialogProperty command and specify the Caption property:

SetDialogProperty>dialogname,labelname,caption,new caption

Reset is not needed. This is for legacy (very old) dialog code using the old dialog style.

Thank you Marcus ..
I tried
SetDialogProperty>SplashScreen1,Label1,,%Seconds%
SetDialogProperty>SplashScreen1,Label,,%Seconds%
SetDialogProperty>SplashScreen1,Label1,Text,%Seconds%
SetDialogProperty>SplashScreen1,Label1,Label1,%Seconds%
But i am confused... I think i need some example to understand how it works

Hi,

Just noticed you are mixing the old style dialog block syntax with the new functions. That won't work. Also your loop will never end and the number of seconds is never changing.

Not exactly sure what you are trying to do but here's a simple countdown from 10 seconds to 0 before the dialog closes again. Probably not exactly what you want to do but it might give you some pointers - it shows a simple dialog (made with the dialog designer) and a simple Repeat/Until loop:

Code: Select all

Dialog>Dialog1
object Dialog1: TForm
  Left = 607
  Top = 264
  HelpContext = 5000
  BorderIcons = [biSystemMenu]
  Caption = 'CustomDialog'
  ClientHeight = 211
  ClientWidth = 476
  Color = clBtnFace
  Font.Charset = DEFAULT_CHARSET
  Font.Color = clWindowText
  Font.Height = -11
  Font.Name = 'MS Sans Serif'
  Font.Style = []
  OldCreateOrder = True
  ShowHint = True
  OnTaskBar = False
  PixelsPerInch = 96
  TextHeight = 13
  object lblSeconds: TLabel
    Left = 184
    Top = 56
    Width = 32
    Height = 13
    Caption = 'Label1'
  end
end
EndDialog>Dialog1

Let>start_seconds=10
Let>end_seconds=0
SetDialogProperty>dialog1,lblSeconds,caption,start_seconds
Show>Dialog1

Let>seconds=start_seconds
Repeat>seconds
  Wait>1
  Let>seconds=seconds-1
  SetDialogProperty>dialog1,lblSeconds,caption,seconds
Until>seconds=end_seconds

CloseDialog>Dialog1
