SOLVED: How to use set parent with shaped wpf form [on hold]

Ahmed Ashraf:

Well, my code is so simple but it doesn't do what i need

*First is the shaped wpf form which I make like that:

  • Allow transparency = true in window
  • Put a grid
  • Put an Image and put source as my png image

  • Second is the set parent which I did it like that:


    [DllImport("user32.dll")]
    private static extern int SetWindowLong(IntPtr hWnd, int nIndex, int dwNewLong);

    [DllImport("user32.dll")]
    private static extern int GetWindowLong(IntPtr hWnd, int nIndex);

    [DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
    private static extern IntPtr SetParent(IntPtr hWndChild, IntPtr hWndNewParent);

    private static int GWL_STYLE = -16;
    private static int GWL_EXSTYLE = -20;
    private static int WS_CHILD = 0x40000000;
    private static int WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW = 0x00000080;

    Process hostProcess = Process.GetProcessById(5964);
    IntPtr hostHandle = hostProcess.MainWindowHandle;

    var interop = new WindowInteropHelper(this);
    interop.EnsureHandle();
    interop.Owner = hostHandle;
    IntPtr guestHandle = interop.Handle;

    SetWindowLong(guestHandle, GWL_EXSTYLE, GetWindowLong(guestHandle, GWL_EXSTYLE) | WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW);
    SetWindowLong(guestHandle, GWL_STYLE, GetWindowLong(guestHandle, GWL_STYLE) | WS_CHILD);
    SetParent(guestHandle, hostHandle);

That's it.

Edited: When I put both together, it doesn't show on my external exe, it just disappear.

What I need is to put a shaped wpf form into an external exe
