Forums Scripts & Popups drawpic dialogs

Well, does drawpic work in dialogs? I badly need to get a picture in a dialog with a transparent background.

Here's a sample:

alias window1 {
dialog -ma window1 window1
}

dialog window1 {
title "Window 1"
size -1 -1 100 100
option dbu

button "Show",1, 5 5 40 10
}

on 1:dialog:window1:sclick:1: {
drawpic -t @window1 ($rgb(255,0,255)) -5 -5 "pic.bmp"
}


* drawpic: invalid window (line 14, script1.mrc)

I know a dialog doesn't qualify as a window, but is there another way? Is there even a dll somewhere that can help with this?

Well, there is a DLL called x-GUI which allows you to add buttons/edit/list controls on a window and in a window you can defintely use /drawpic anyway..

I'm not using a window... im using a dialog

I need a transparent background on an image, it doesn't have to be with drawpic.

you want to look at the ICON in dialogs
you may have to color the background in mspaint manually to get the grey, also note that mspaint will use the upper left corner color as a transparent background.
