View 2 RepliesI 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.

I am an intern at a company doing Drawing Tools for their program. My supervisor is currently having me just make a user control that draws a line and adds transparency over a form. (I started this internship very early, so my knowledge is very limited compared to what it should be for a standard intern)
This is what I have so far:
Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs)
If MyBG Is Nothing Then
MyBG = New Bitmap(Me.Width, Me.Height)

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 2 RepliesI did a test using AxShockwaveFlash1, and while I set the WMode to Transparent, and tested the form, the transparency didn't work! How am I supposed to make it transparent?
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.
Ive 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.
When i run my code, the picture box has a background colour, even though I have set the background colour to transparent in the properties window.
View 1 Replieshow can i control swf background transparency in vb.net either with flash.ocx or if there is any other way.so that if i have a swf animation block with red in background and some text written with yellow. now how can i remove that red background in vb.net.actually i want to make a system so that i can choose any color as transparency key for swf like in tv channels logos.
View 2 Replieshow you can get image transparency to come through in Visual Basic? Because if you try to put an image with some transparent sections on it on a form, the transparency turns into the form background colour (Though you could change the background image to whatever you want displayed under the image, but that's not the point) and basically I can't find any way to do irregular transparencies.
Alright, that's not very simple. I'll try to give an example:
You have an animated GIF of...say...fireworks. And it has a transparent background. Now say you have a few labels with text in them. When you draw the picturebox over the labels, the text in the labels is covered by the background of the fireworks, even though it's transparent. You can't see the labels. You want to see the fireworks exploding over the text
I can't see any way of getting around this, other than doing it in another program and putting the text and fireworks into one PictureBox. but it would be so convenient if it could work in Visual Basic, because you can control the text the in the labels and keep the animated "fireworks" exploding at the same time without using multiple animated images.
Is it possible to have transparency on a form but not on a button on the form?I know transparency can be controlled for the form in properties (VB 2005), but how can we isolate the button from being affected?
View 2 RepliesRight now I currently have an array of pictureboxes, and over them I want another large picturebox that has a sort of transparent fog effect. I created a png with this and made sure to save the alpha transparency, however when the picturebox shows up, you are not able to see underneath it. Is there anyway to fix this without using the GDI instead of pictureboxes? Because of the way the program is set up, I think GDI would be too slow for my purposes.
View 1 RepliesThe 1st problem: I set the transparency key to a color and then set the forms background color to that color, and then set the background image to an image with rounded edges to give my form rounded edged. But the corners look VERY jagged.
The 2nd problem: Is there a way to make a form appear in the lower right corner above the task bar? Kind of like Avasts virus database definition update window.
Ive been on the same thing for the past seven hours now. Im trying to ether get the MDI child form title-bar-less in maximized mode, or now, get the transparency working to where the MDI child has transparency. ) This is for a home automation system im working on. major alpha stages. Hardware control works ;) but this stupid GUI is kicking my butt. So three options i have. In maximize mode on the MDI child remove the title bar, or remove the parents scroll bar so i can make the MDI child the size of the parents MDI window, or make the MDI child transparency work. Im posting a screen shot to show you what im talking about.

The member of this comunity, Keymaf, help-me to do a DLL with PNG files and with any other type of file. But now, there is another problem. The transparency of PNG are not enabled when loaded in my project.
View 4 RepliesI have a 8 bit Gif, that is transparent, with controls sitting on top of it, all in a custom control. This part works fine. However, This control is a menu ring (appears around another control with a few options). The transparent part is over a Picbox, that is in a panel. The transparent part of the image seems to skip the picbox and go right through to the panel. I set the panel to a back color of RED. The custom control when its placed instead of showing the image in the pic box that it is on top of, it shows the RED panel I have made sure all my Z orders are right.

View 1 RepliesI search for a grand total of about four hours online for a method of how to get transparency working in labels in VB.NET 2008. After finding nothing but some example that I have no idea how to implement into my project, I have almost given up. Yes, I've heard about setting the parent properties, but in my case it is imperative that I have labels on top of a PictureBox. (Apparently it's not possible through normal means to have transparent labels over PictureBoxes.)I'm losing my patience with VB.NET, even considering switching back to VB6. How could Microsoft make such a stupid decision? Today I decided to use a stupendous workaround and instead of labels, use transparent PNGs of bitmap text. And guess what? It has the exact same problem as the labels when placed in front of controls! The transparent background has been set to the colour of the form's background!

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a program using Visual Basic .NET 2010 that alters the use of my media keys - Volume up, Volume down, Play, etc. All of the example I have found don't seem to compile quite correctly in 2010. Don't get me wrong they run fine and look exactly as specified but the problem is that the form cannot be edited because it claims the designer code is ill-formatted or something along the lines of that.
Can anybody possibly spare a project or form that has perpixel alpha transperancy?The only thing i want to do is show an overlayed png that has an alpha channel, on the desktop. The form border style will most certainly be "NoBorder"
i got a large picture box sent to the back with a default image.i got a few picture boxes set to transparent and they are placed in front of that large picture box. these picture boxes have no images, just set to transparent in the properties.
I use the mousehover event on those picture boxes so when one is hovered over, it will change the image of the large picture box which is behind it.the problem is that even though those picture boxes in front have been set to transparent, when the large picture box behind them loaps a new image due to an event, it doesnt show through those picture boxes which are in front of it!
I have a windows form application where there are several circles that need to be moved around the form at random. I have tried doing this with pictureboxes, as well as ovalshapes.
When I use a picturebox, the corners of the image (which should be transparent) show as the same color of the form, when they should show what is underneath (which could be another circle).
I do not have this problem when I use an ovalshape. However, two of my circles need to have a star on them and I can't seem to figure out a way to do that because I can't get a transparent background. I've tried a transparent background image and a transparent background label and nothing seems to work.
I am making an image modifying program and would like to know how (after I have located the .png, .gif, .bmp etc) I can identify the properties of a certain pixel (RGB and the amount of transparency), how to change the colour of a pixel (similar to first part) and how to tell the program to "move along to the next pixel, unless you are at the end of the image, in which case; move down a row and continue" please help. Also, it is a program which converts a greyscale image (black, white and grey) to black, semi-transparent black and transparency). Just in case that helps.
