hey everyone, im developing this program in mmf that allows you to have 7 picture over each other. anyway, the thing is that i want the user to be able to choose what picture to choose from a listbox. now i can add pictures to a listbox manually, but i want the program to do it automatically. if new pictures are added in the pictures directory, the listbox should automatically be updated. thats one problem.
the other problem is that these images are 256 colors with a transparent color obviously. i noticed that the transparent color isnt transparent. its white. i want it to be transparent as the images will be overlapping each other.
furthermore, i want to be able to capture an image of 256x400 pixels n save it to some format. and last, i wanted to include RGB manipulation of the picture objects.
thats all of it. can anyone please help me? any help will be appreciated n credited. i was wondering that there might be an extension that might allow me to do at least one of these things. thx in advance
For the first thing you can use load a file list, and enter the directory of the picture folder.
If you're using APO you could try tick on make first pixel color tansparent. But the will make the first pixel in the top left corner transparent, not the one it have.
You can capture a part of the screen using The screen capture object which comes with MMF and save it as a .Bmp file.
That screen capture object is a pain in the ass, I tried using it when I was working on an animation studio type program. If you can get it to work properly, more power to you.
i figured everything out except two things. i cant do the RGB thingy, it seems like theres no extension for it. i have the source code for a RGB changing software written in C++. ill check that. the other thing i didnt figure out was the transparency. errm, what does APO mean? A picture object??
Mr. kirby, u find a stolen version n tell me then.
And as far as the whole program is concerned, everything except RGB is done. I cant figure out how to save images into 256 colors without running in 256 color mode. and i want the first color of the 256 color palette to be the background color. the image manipulator object doesnt do it, it doesnt save in gif n saves in all the other formats in 32b. Plz help.
