Draw Line On Windows/Of The Form

Draw Line On Windows/Of The Form
Does anyone know how to make it so that something draws a line on windows using the variables x1,x2,y1 and y2. e.g

Code:

drawLineWindows(x1,x2,y1,y2,color)

Picture below for example.

Jazz, get your site to work with IE please =(

 

nah, get firefox ^_^
I might have to pull it apart... I'll take a look @ it now for ya since I have some free time

EDIT: Hmm, I found the problem.. let me re-upload some pages and tell me YOUR results

 

Great script thanks... But can you make it so that I can make the line visible/not visible. I want to make it so that the line flashs twice then disappears...

 

I'm leaving for work right now, but when I get home I'll see what I can do

 

Cool. Works for IE now.

 

Thanks Jazz

 

Are you Cruel?

 

Im just wondering but whats the point of a line drawer? on the pc window I meen...

 

Im going to make a macro and when the person selects the hwnd(window handle) that a box flashs around the hwnd.

 

Lol, if you had said that, I could have given you a simpler way. let me make you an example, you'll like the results

That is what you want, all wrapped up in a bundle.

The colour for the line is a negative of the colour you put in, such as vbgreen would be vbmagenta and vbmagenta would be vbgreen.

 

Thank you so much XD.

 

Good work

 

Jazz, you can fix the color problem by inverting it...

Code:

InvertColor = &HFFFFFF - Color

I think that does the job...

 

No sir, even converting the long to a hex it wont work.

 

Try downloading this project and you'll see what i mean. It works for me, so yeah... Sorry if I'm getting annoying. It's just the project, no viruses.

Added an updated version of yours.

 

Hmmm, I used a similar method (format() rather then right()). It depends on the window you select...

If I select the visual basic form with the code on it, it's green, same with my taskbar. But I if I select an explorer window, it is magenta. So your idea did work the first time.

Nice work, I'll update the code on my site with your edited version... but you declared "Color" as a global, I take marks off for that

 

Aww darn, I was looking to please.

Just remembered why i declared it as Global, so the user can choose a color from the form (with the proper function), instead of just being able to edit it with the code.
