I have a rectangle that I dynamically draw in a Window. Said Window has a background with it's opacity set to 0.4. I'd like to make the area inside the rectangle completely transparent (see what's behind the window).
Here is the code of my Window :
<Window x:Class="TakeAScreenzone"
xmlns="[URL]"
xmlns:x="[URL]"
Title="PloofTAS" Height="355" Width="539" Topmost="True"

[code] how to make the part that drops down semi-transparent or completely transparent resembling floating text. So that I can see the form underneath.
View 1 Repliesi have this code that suppost to overlay a transparent rectangle over my form. Program is that i do not know what "e" should be set/defined as:
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(color.fromargb(127.5,255,255,255), New Rectangle(0, 0, 100, 100))
[code]....
If I were to draw a rectangle with e.Graphics.FillRectangle(), how would I make a circular portion of the rectangle transparent?
View 1 RepliesI know how to create the Rounded Rectangle, but what i don't know how to do, is make the area outside of the rounded rectangle (the corners) become transparent This is going to be used on a usercontrol, so i really need it to be transparent and not just blend in (ie adapt to the colour of the parent form).

I have a window that needs to run a length process. The process is threaded so it doesn't lock up the screen. However, I need this to run when the window is first loaded, not based on a button click or anything. The problem it creates is that it causes the window to stall a bit when initially painting itself. I even tried to put the call to the method in the Shown event, although it helps, it's still not perfect.

What I want to make the OpenTK window to be completly independent from whatever is going on with the other controls (for instance if button_click is Thread.sleep(10000) I dont want that my animation freezes for 10s). I want to have it in its own thread (no BackgroundWorker). The problem is I dont know what modifications should I do to get it working. It is currently initialized in InitializeComponent section. I want that all events and everything is handeled in its own thread, basically 2 "programs" in 1 form.

Now, it draws perfectly when I drag left to down (vice versa), but when I try and drag the opposite way (this is when I get negative x and y values), it doesn't seem to draw the rectangle.I've tried fixing it but with no luck at all, it just messes it up :c
I know this may sound really difficult and annoying to complete but all i need is a form which has no borders at all,just some text floating topmost of all screen like a screensaver i tried adding a text but it still has a white background behind it and it looks like a sign instead of Floating Letters with no background at all also note that i dont want a form with a square border around it,because thats what it look like when i added form border style to none

View 3 RepliesI have drawn a diagram of lines on a panel using the g.DrawLine command. I want to be able to zoom in to the diagram and define the zoom area by two cursor picks. I get the coordinates of the picks and draw a rectangle using g.DrawRectangle. This works fine but as I move the cursor around, the rectangle becomes solid black (with all the DrawRectangle commands). In VB6 I used a rectangular shape on top of my diagram but you cannot do this in VB2008. I need something like drawing in XOR mode. Somehow as I move the cursor I need to undraw the old rectangle and draw the new rectangle.
View 11 RepliesI have the following function that should make the window always on top of other applications.
Private Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" _

ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long

The problem is that it reduces the window size so that you can only see the title bar and min/max/close buttons. Also, even that does not stay on top of other windows.

Anyways, what I'm trying to do as an exercise is make a roulette game. I decided it would be best to put my buttons ON the actual table itself, so that the player can click which one he wants to bet on, and it'll bring up an Input Box asking how much he wants to bet, and yeah.
So, I tossed a button on there, set the parent to the picturebox of the roulette table, set the back color to transparent, and got rid of the text. Lo and behold, it's transparent!
