This would rule if you could make a
screen saver out of this where the ants
ran across the desktop instead of a
white form... 5 globes for you!

Hello everyone!
Thanks for the
posts.
Just wanting to ask if anyone
would know how to use the desktop as
the background instead of a white
background.

You can copy the desktop using the
GetDesktopWindow API call to get the
desktop hwnd. Then use the GetDC API
call to convert the hwnd to a hDC. Then
use BitBlt to copy the desktop image to
the picture.
Some caveates though, I
was only able to make it work if I set
the picture autoredraw property to
TRUE. This required putting
picture1.refresh commands in a number
of places. Also, it worked better when
I removed most of the form resizing
code and made the form invisible just
before I copied the background.

this is awsome, if you want to get the
desktop i would suggest u just take a
screenshot, that way it looks like it
normally would w/ all windows open and
stuff, but it will just have the ants,
that would rule

Why would you want to make a screenshot
of the desktop. Just make your form
transparent. Some other projects on
this site show you how to do this

I voted 5 globes. Best Code EVER! I
loved it! I've got a cool mod that
let's you do skins. Can I modify your
code with it and send it to you? email
me at hypersonix@earthlink.net

very cool code, plus if its good
enought for simon its good enough for
me. I have a suggestion though, can you
have it on a transparent bg, and also
have it tell you who ate the most
|
5/29/2001 5:56:22 PM:necromunda
The transparent bg could be a problem
but the apples thing will be easy.
Anyone know how to make the form and
a picbox transparent?

Hi, great app ! A great way to learn
bitblt and a bit of OO stuff. I've
humbly made some enhancements on it -
features like the ants are assigned a
random speed and health. The speed is
obvious but the health measures how
long the ant will survive. At the end
of each 'day', every ants health is
reduced. But for each apple they eat,
their health is increased. At the end
of each 'day', if the ant has bad
health it dies automatically.
I
worked on the interface a bit too. Just
way too much fun ! I plan on adding
more stuff - if you would like a copy,
please contact me !
Cheers, and
Kudos !
