Hi, maybe it is a stupid question, but I just can't get how to use more then one flag in WindowCreate function.

I want to create tranparent window using "absolute location" method for positioning. If I type

WindowCreate (win, x_pos, y_pos, window_width, window_height, 4,  miniwin.create_transparent, miniwin.create_absolute_location)


window is created, positioning is OK, but its not transparent.

I also tried tried many combinations like
WindowCreate (win, x_pos, y_pos, window_width, window_height, 4,  miniwin.create_transparent miniwin.create_absolute_location)

WindowCreate (win, x_pos, y_pos, window_width, window_height, 4,  4 2)

WindowCreate (win, x_pos, y_pos, window_width, window_height, 4,  24)

WindowCreate (win, x_pos, y_pos, window_width, window_height, 4,  42)

WindowCreate (win, x_pos, y_pos, window_width, window_height, 4,  2+4)


but all I got was errors.

So what should I type to get my precious transparent window on exact location I want it? =)

P.S. sry for my English

Add them:


WindowCreate (win, x_pos, y_pos, window_width, window_height, 4,  
               miniwin.create_transparent + miniwin.create_absolute_location)
