I using the VistaControls control library (here) and I have a WebBrowser control that will have black in it on the form. When I set the background color to black in the HTML, the glass renders fine. So I added some text that is red, but it shows up as a transparent red. How do I get the text to be opaque?
Also, if I want to have black text in the HTML, how do I get that to show correctly?
Is using any control on Aero glass possible? If not, is using buttons, checkboxes, radiobuttons and some other common controls possible?

View 8 RepliesI can't figure out how it is possible to change the color for aero glass (which is blue by default).I want to change it to yellow (or brown) if the battery level (only for laptops of course) is low, to red when its critical. I have read a lot and was able to read the color (registry and api) and I was able to get notified when the color changes (wndproc) but there is no api call to set the color. I am able to set the registry key. That works, but requires a reboot, which is (in my case) not a solution. I have tried to simulate the wndproc message as broadcast, no result...What does the control panel applet do? If I change the color there it will be instantly applied, even the setting is not saved to the registry (which will be the best solution for my case). Programming language is vb9, vista is required by the application itself, so no other checks are required.

I'm trying to have Aero Glass look in my forms in VB.NET 2010 app with DWM API, but as function call suggests, it extends look of Frame to the client area, and if form has no border, nothing will happen and form will become invisible. So, can I get Aero glass in a form without any border.... ??
View 1 RepliesI've got an app that I'm writing that will have TextBoxes and Buttons on a glass form, much like what you'd see in Windows Explorer. I'm wondering how can I get the Textboxes' text to render properly on the glass? The text looks all messed up. I've tried a number of different ideas, but to avail.

Like default is blue change you change it to like yellow, or black or another colour?

View 2 RepliesI have a WebBrowser control that have a webpage loaded in it. On the webpage I have a textarea control, like this:
<textarea name="text" id="textarea_obj">
I've successfully used DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea from dwmapi.dll. It adds glass to about 40 pixels down from the top, and 40 pixels up from the bottom. I can put a button on the glass and either set it's background color to transparent or it's UseCompatibleTextRendering = True so that is displays correctly on the glass (the middle part of the form is a regular form, I can put controls there fine). Now, here's my problem... I want to put a search text box at the top right hand section of the form on the glass (similiar to IE and other wizard like glass forms that have search boxes integrated). Also, this is a WinForm.
The problem:The glass effect causes any text in the text box to be transparent, I need to know how to get around it so the text box is always opaque.
What I've tried:
1.) Manually drawing the transparent color over the form in the Paint event, skipping the section where the text box is located (doesn't work).
2.) Change the color of the text in the text box so it's not black (since black triggers the glass effect). I couldn't get the glass to work at all with any color other than black (even when I set the form's transparcy key to another color).
3.) I've read and followed every FAQ / instruction list I could get my hands on to no avail (most were from 2006 before Vista in production).
4.) I've looked with UI Spy at the text box in the IE glass section, and that text box has a background color of transparent (which I tried and the .Net textbox/richtextbox don't allow you to set a background color of transparent)
I've read that you can create a custom control and custom draw it to be opaque, but I'm not sure where to start with that (I can make custom controls, but as per drawing them myself I need a little direction).
I have a Vista Glass form using dwmapi.dll. I have a problem, which is whenever I put the form over a white color, the text becomes very difficult to read, as it is white as well. But if I put it over a black or darker color you can read it fine. I want the text color on my form to be able to change when the form is moved over a certain color. No, I'm not trying to make a virus / automater...

I am trying to figure out how I can highlight every instance of a search string found in the the webbrowser control.

I am working on a parental control system for my webbrowser (checks if navigated page is on the blacklist). So I was looking for a list of sites to add to the system as default, I didn't find any but my friend did, but the problem is he gave me a list, for example, with lots of lines like this:
http:somename:something@website.com
http:somename1:something1@website2.com
How can I remove everything from the "@" till the "http;" (including http) and remove it all so only the website name stays? I could do it by hand/notepad, but it would take forever as the list has over 2k sites I would like to add in my blacklist! I thought maybe strings could do it?
