I have a window that I define as follows:
hwnd = CreateWindowExA(WS_EX_LAYERED, className, title, WS_POPUP, 0, 0, width, height, NULL, NULL, GetModuleHandle(NULL), this);
It is therefore completely transparent.
I have a simple WM_PAINT as follows:
WM_PAINT box:
{
PAINTSTRUCT ps;
HDC hdc = BeginPaint(hwnd, &ps);
if (currentPage)
currentPage->paintFunction(hwnd, hdc);
EndPaint(hwnd, &ps);
break;
}
with in a met paintFunction example:
RECT rect = {0, 0, 20, 20};
FrameRect(hdc, &rect, (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(GRAY_BRUSH));
I would just like that each time I start WM_PAINT, the old drawings are deleted, and that the window becomes completely transparent again. I tried with setLayeredWindows to use a double buffer but impossible. I can't find an option with brushes compatible with my window to draw transparently. So I come to beg you to guide me towards a potential path to solve my problem! thank you very much and good day !
