Opacity window with CVI6.0 in WindowsXP

[Raybie]

Hi,

I would like to create an application with opacity window.

I tried to use

hwnd = (HWND) GetCVIWindowHandle(); 
SetWindowLong(hwnd,GWL_EXSTYLE,WS_EX_LAYERED);

SetLayeredWindowAttributes(hwnd, 0, 70, LWA_ALPHA);

Windows SDK commands. They were returned with a positive answer, but nothing happened on the screen.

What is the way to use the mentioned commands?

Does anybody have any sample code?

Thansk for the help!

(WindowsXP,CVI6.0)

Hello Raybie,

instead of

hwnd = (HWND) GetCVIWindowHandle(); 

use

GetPanelAttribute (panel, ATTR_SYSTEM_WINDOW_HANDLE, (int *)&hwnd);

It works!

Thanks!
