I am using vb express 2008.How I can have border around a Textbox or Label and change the color of border. Like we have different border styles and colours in MsWord and other applictions. Also how a Lable can be made transparent?
I'm working in VB, VS2008, winforms.I've got some labels to create, and I'm using the BorderStyle = FixedSingle.Is there any way to change the color of this border?It is always defaulting to black.
I need some kind of control that let's me set a Text like in a Label but when I get my mouse over it (MouseEnter) it defines a Border Color and will darken that color (probably using some transparecy property) .
Even with <label>.forecolor = Color.Black. I find that my labels' borders are not {255,0,0,0} but rather {255,100,100,100), a middlish gray, Is there some system setting (e.g., themes, Silverlight) from which the standard label draws its color?( I am familiar with the sub-classing work-around, but have hundereds of instances that would have to be changed.)
I want to change the border color of a textbox. I have tryed to override the onpaint event (setting userpaint to true), but in this case I must control all the painting events of a textbox. So, this isn't a good thing. This seems to work, but the user control has no text property. And I woult like to override the gotfocus and the lostfocus events.

I've created an ownerdraw ComboBox (used as DropDownList only) in Visual Basic .NET 2010. I inherited ComboBox and set DrawMode to OwnerDrawVariable. The control itself and the dropdown items are drawn with Paint and DrawItem.
The control works fine so far, but there is one thing i was unable to change: When i click on the combobox to open the dropdown area, this new area has a very bright border color (nearly white) which I want to change to black. I've uploaded an image of the current control and how I want it to look like:

I've got a couple of instances of a user control on a flowlayoutpanel. The user control has got a couple of controls on it, and very little / almost none of the control's original space is visible. I need to know when the mouse is inside the usercontrol. What then happens is that the border color changes (of a control in the user control), and when it leaves the control, it changes back to original state.
I tried the following: Private Sub ctrDashboardWidgetFrame_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseEnter Try ShowControls() Catch ex As Exception [Code] .....
And it works, but it only works when you move over the original visible space of the user control, and doesn't work when you move over the child controls inside the user control. How I'll be able to achieve this to also work while the user is inside the full user control and not just it's visible space?
This may seem like a dumb question... But what color is the border of the default TextBox control?
I need to replace a few TextBox's with a RichTextBox in my application, and now I have TextBox's and RichTextBox's mixed up, which does not look very nice since they have different borders. An RTB with BorderStyle FixedSingle has a black border by default, while the TextBox has kind of a blueish color (in XP, standard blue theme). If I use the gray theme, it's a gray border, etc.
I am drawing the border of the RTB manually so that I can match it with the border of the TextBox, but I cannot find the correct SystemColor to use for this... Obviously I cannot just find the RGB value, because it will change if the user uses a different theme. I need it to match the color of the TextBox border whatever the theme. I thought I could use the SystemColors for that, since they change when you change the theme.
I've been trying in the Xp blue theme, but none of the SystemColors seem to match the TextBox border exactly.
Can I maybe find the name of a SystemColor from an RGB value, or something like that?
When changing a textbox border style to "none," and the font size to anything higher than the default 8.5, everything is fine unless if the letter goes downward ('g', 'y', 'j', etc). This is most noticeable with the g. I've linked a picture here, and I have no solution to have each character come out clearly. If I'm using another textbox border, it works fine. If I use the font size of 8.5, it's fine, but I can't have no border and a larger font. Though the textbox changes size it does not change enough to show the tail of the g. I can't change the size of the textbox because i
