View 6 Repliesi know how to make a picturebox have a transparent image within it, and i know how to make forms transparent, but what i cant seem to figure out is how to add an image which has transparent parts to a completely transparent form and have it still look nice. you know when you find images which look really good by them selves, but then look really bad when moved to a different background cause they still have the white border (or any other colour border). is there ANY way which i can accomplish removing this border? its almost like the alpha channel that removes the ugly border, when putting the image on the form, is forgotten about and the colour of the forms background fills in the gap..
View 3 RepliesIve been programming in VB6 for years, i figured its time for an upgrade. Here's what im doing, and what the problem is:
Im loading a bunch of pictures on top of one image. They are all PNG files, and some of the images have transparent edges, and some semi-transparency within the image itself.
So basically, i need to be able to load these images on top of the other images, and still maintain the transparency.
Is this possible in VB08? This is one of the main reasons i moved to 08 from vb6, more things possible including multithreading.
I've tried adding a splash screen ]...to one of my applications and after exploring a while I somehow managed to get it working what bugs me now is that my splash screen is in fact a image inside a picture box and the form always shows the control color behind so what I tried is adding the form color to the transparency key this worked, somehow now, I use a png image that has some transparent effect also what I've noticed is that where I would want to show the transparent effect from the image the transparent color that is set in the forum shows below is the image to get my point of view:
I'm wondering if I can remove that "pink" color (set by me in the forum) from the image .I want to get a effect like the one Adobe products have for example
I am trying to create a program that renames files to 1 - (however many files are in the folder) and also convert .pngs to .bmps, I had done this but I messed it up a little. I am not that experienced with VB.Net but I am looking to learn so any help would be great. I have tried this myself but as you can see in the code I've gone the wrong way about it.
[code]...
I am working on an application which has transparent forms. By using transparency, I am smoothing the edges of the forms. I have got a bitmap which I set as background image of the form. I use red as form's transparency key. Although transparency works fine when my computers display is set to 24 bit color, when I change the setting to 32 bits, transparency doesn't work. In this case, users who have 32 bit color dept setting on their systems will not be able to use my application. When I searched the web, I found some solutions such as using bitmap.maketransparent command, or using magenta color for transparency key or using 32 bit bmp files etc. However none of them worked for me. Some forums suggest that this is a bug and there is no way to solve this problem. But if so, why some applications such as Winamp can display transparent forms although my color dept is set to 32 bit! I am sure there is a solution. I am working on VB.NET 2008 and my OS is Windows Xp Service Pack 2. Please help me about this subject.

View 1 RepliesIs there a way of making a Picture Box have a transparency so that any objects (e.g buttons) that are layered underneath the picture box will be shown through?
Or if there is any other way of getting the mouse coordinates only on the form. So when the mouse cursor is placed at 20,20 on the form it will give back the coordinates 20,20 no matter where the form is placed on the screen
I'm trying to make a textbox either fully or partially transparent, so you are typing over whatever is behind the textbox. I need it to actually be transparent and not just have the illusion of transparency, because I'm going to put a control behind the text box so the user can enter text over the other control to line up the characters. I have found dozens of threads and pages about doing this and they are all drastically different and none of them seem to work at all

View 1 RepliesI used my forms TransparencyKey property to make the form background invisible, but to keep the controls 100% visible. But, when I add a label onto the form, a border or outline shows up around the text (doesn't matter which color I do it with). My friend says that this isn't fixable and he said that it doesn't happen in VB6. I'm tempted to remake the project in VB6, but Windows 7 is being released soon and compatibility is a must.
What about C#? Does the issue occur as well? If not I'll just go with that.

View 3 RepliesI have a picturebox that contains an image and the background of that image has been set to transparent and saved as a .gif in photoshop cs2.
I used that image in a picturebox and I set the BackColor of that picturebox to transparent, but it's not transparent; I have a gray background on that picture.
Why is it that I can't seem to make a picturebox transparent? I just can't seem to figure it out, I set the back color to transparent, I even made a color in my image transparent but still no results. I've been able to make the back transparent before.
