Guitransparent text overtop of scripted installs

[ChiDragon]

I've got XPlode running in Guitransparent mode, and the text from XPlode shows up overtop of my scripted installs (using AutoIt, Jscript). I get some errors popping up which I think may be as a result of those being under XPlode, but I'm not sure...

Guiredraw is worse, as then a portion of my WINNTBBU.DLL background covers up the installers in addition to the XPlode text.

Will switching to Standalone fix this, and is there any chance you could alter XPlode to show up in the background, Wraith?

There is little to no chance of me doing any work on XPlode within the next couple of months - I just don't have the time.

Unfortunately you're just going to have to deal with it...

Having to design 2 types of low-power embedded motherboards from scratch doesn't really leave much time for XPlode. Stupid satellites.

If there is more than about 10 people that want this, I can go back and change it, so add a poll and see if people want it.

The real problem seems to be that SendKeys can't work because the XPlode "window" is taking the focus from the installer.

I was hoping it'd be a quick fix to XPlode to change this functionality, but apparently it isn't. So I say don't bother, I'll just use another method to install them.

Are you sure? I'm using AutoIt scripts (for outpost firewall) to install some tings @ t-12 (cmdlines.txt) and even if XPlode is "always on top", the focus is to the app I tell the AutoIT script.

But I'm still using XPlode v1.0.0... Its the best release I think...

Hey wraith, do you still want to release the code on sourceforge? I would be glad to take a look at it and help! I'm working on another project and I took many ideas from xplode to do quite similar things, but without a UI. Both projects could grow like this, or even merge (a option to disable/enable UI?)
