Updates a bitmap translucency of a layered window
#include <WinAPISysWin.au3>
_WinAPI_UpdateLayeredWindowEx ( $hWnd, $iX, $iY, $hBitmap [, $iOpacity = 255 [, $bDelete = False]] )
| $hWnd | Handle to a layered window. A layered window is created by specifying $WS_EX_LAYERED when its creating. |
| $iX | The new position of the left side of the window. |
| $iY | The new position of the top of the window. |
| $hBitmap | Handle to the bitmap that will be set to the layered window. |
| $iOpacity | [optional] The alpha transparency value to be used on the entire source bitmap. Default is 255. |
| $bDelete | [optional] Specifies whether to delete the bitmap after updated the window, valid values: True - Bitmap will be deleted if the function succeeds. False - Do not delete, you must release the bitmap when you are finished using it (Default). |
| Success: | True |
| Failure: | False |
For best drawing performance by the layered window and any underlying windows, the layered window should be
as small as possible.
If $iX and $iY are both equal to (-1), the current window position will not change.
