I'm pretty much out of ideas here... for everything else, setting the background color to Color.Transparent or setting the TransparencyKey works fine...
I have an mp4 Video which I need to play as a "background" of my form. To do this, I'm currently using the WMP control. My problem: I can't add any controls on top of it, since they always render a background. Which looks ** on the video...
I'm trying to bring a transparent user control (being used as a drawing layer) to the front, over a page that will be playing video.Me.BringToFront() didn't seem to work, and when I tried Me.SetTopLevel(true) in the load, this gave me an InvalidOperationException. Here's what I have so far, sorry for the commented lines.. lots of trial and error (I'm very new, just an intern at the moment)[code]
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to create a simple transparent PANEL control. I want to create a custom control based on the existing Panel Control with a property added called "transparent" which can be set to true or false. If it's set to true it's transparent(not invisible). So if I place it over some controls in a form say a button or text box... they are visible but disabled.
View 2 RepliesI need my app. to Create an Control Array at runtime that will consist of up to 50 Data Bound Labels. The app. will first be checking the 1st database field (Ing1) to see if there is data, if so then only create the 1st Data Bound Label (lblIng1) and then check the next field and so on.
The problem is that VB 2008 dos not seem to support Control Arrays. There must be another way to work around this.
in vb6 for label and back-style we had "Transparent" does we have a similar property in vb.net for labels? how can active a button? in vb6 we could call the button_click

Me again. I also have a png image and a web cam video in my form. I have transparent parts on the png image that show through to the form background colour.
How do I set it so it shows the video in the background, when I put the png image over the top of the video?
At the moment its still shows straight through to the back of the form?

View 5 RepliesWith VB, but I've got the few basics down, file naming, adding objects, naming objetcs, etc. But the reason I'm on here is because I cannot complete even the first step. Our form is 640 X 480, and we need to have two labels, both have vertical scrolls. I know how to add and resize the labels to meet my needs, but I do not know how to create scrolling labels. Or are they text boxes? On our bubble chart (Do you know what that means?) it says lblInformation. We are going to have clickable radio buttons which will update the lblInformation with info about each of the radio buttons.
View 7 RepliesHere's my situation: I have a control with motion graphics (for the sake of simplicity, a 'video player' control) in my project. Think of a PictureBox with constantly-changing images. In front of this will sit a second control (such as a second PictureBox of the same dimensions). The topmost PictureBox will be drawn to in its Paint event.
I need to draw very few elements, and the bottom control is updated much more frequently than I need for this drawing. So these elements are drawn to the topmost control. Think of a news broadcast, where they have live video in the background, with a news channel logo, news ticker, and sometimes gradient visible in front.
I'm trying to create that 'foreground' control, and the closest I believe I have gotten so far is the following:
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing.Imaging
Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D
[CODE]...
The 'Opacity' property in the code above is a sort of "scaling factor." The image drawn to the top control may, in different parts of the image, have any alpha value from full transparent to a full 255. This 'Opacity' property is applied to the entire image being drawn, scaling the alpha values of each pixel.

I'm trying to make a label control transparent over a Panel control.However by setting the background colour of the label to Transparent, it actually sees right through to the form itself, not the panel as intended.
As an example we use a panel with a background as white, we make the label transparent, however it gets the form�s colour as blue.However, we are using a custom panel control and need the label to be transparent over the panel and not see the forms background.

I have been looking in a lot web site and forums trying to find the way to make my picturebox background transparent or catch whatever I drew on top of a transparent panel, let's explain it.
Case 1-) I trying to make an app, where the user can load onto the winform a word document(I have part this ready), then I put on top of the control where the doc. is loaded a transparent panel(this part is ready too) and the user can sing (on top the panel) then I need to get the user's draw(sing) and print it in the document.
Every time that I try to do it always I get everything that is within the panel area, then I just want the user's sing.
case 2-) I tried to use a picturebox then it works perfect, I can get just the user's sing and print it back in the document, but the problem is, I can't put a picturebox on top of the control where the doc. is loaded because then I can't see the doc.
If anybody wants to see the code to make the panel transparent, or catch whatever you draw on top the pictureBox.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to create two semi transparent panel.When I click on panel 1, the color is semi-transparent red. Panel 2 will become semi-transparent green. When I click on panel 2, the color is semi-transparent red. Panel 1 will become semi-transparent green.
Using class below:
Public Class TransparentPanel
Inherits Panel
Private mIsActive As Boolean = False
Public WriteOnly Property IsActive() As Boolean
[code].....
When I click on panel 1, it is semi-red, when I click on panel 2, panel 1 become semi-green. When I click back on panel 1, it seems to draw the semi-red on top and make it not semi-red but more red. The more click I do, the transparent is gone. Is there a way to drop the graphics and repaint it with semi-red? OR, is there a way to restore the graphics to its original state in semi-red? OR, is there a way to clear the graphics and repaint it with semi-red?

View 7 RepliesI did some research on how to make transparent User Control, The suggested code was like this:
Private Sub New()
' This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.
Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, True)
Me.BackColor = Color.Transparent
UpdateStyles()
End Sub
When I build the project, there is no errors. But, When I try to load my user control using the "Choose ToolBox Items" dialog, it gives me the following error message:
"There is no components in [dll path] that can be placed on the toolbox."
Im working on in VB.net. Basically I�m trying to create a nice looking control that draws several PNG images (stars in this example) that light up as you hover the cursor over them. This side of things is working perfectly (see picture 1).
[URL]
The problem is trying to make it work using a transparent background for the control. I can make the control transparent by setting the controls back color and using Me.Setstyle to enable transparency support, but every time the image refreshes to show any lit stars it repaints over the stars again � making the shaded areas darker each time. This results in a horrible mess (see picture 2).
[URL]
Next I tried to clear the background each time a repaint occurs so that the stars are drawn on a blank canvas each time to stop this problem. The only way I know how to do this is to use graphics.clear(Color.Transparent) before my code to paint the star images. But this does not work as the control shows a black background instead of a transparent one (see picture 3)!

away the background to leave me with a transparent canvas to paint images onto? And is anyone smart enough to come up with a solution to this irritating issue?
I am looking for a VB control that operates as a more or less transparent or semi-transparent ruler or bar that can be scrolled up and down the form over an invoice or letter, so that the user can see what is under the ruler/bar and thus stop scrolling when he reaches a certain point.
To give a bit more detail of what I am looking for - such a bar is used when someone is setting the focus on a line of a long list of items so that they know where they are all the time. Most people would use a ruler on a paper list to keep track of how far they have progressed down the list. It would be nice though to have the "ruler" or bar as semi-transparent so that the user can see under where he is at on the list or form.
i know that VB.net and above don't use true transparency(and maybe true opacy) except forms, but even them have 1 visual bug. because if the we put the backcolor igual to transparent key, the picturebox is transparent... but give us a form hole.i found several codes that do transparency, but i see 1 problem on them, because the control needs time to be transparent.[code]some codes(that i founded on internet) are diferent but give us the same result.can anyone explain to me why the control needs so many time to show transparent?(i have tested using the keyboard to move the control, and i see the control is like visible and then hide and then visible. and if i continue click on key, the control isn't showed until i release the key)

I've read many articles on how to create transparent labels but it seems to me that my particular case is not covered. Very simply I have a label placed in the upper right part of the form, which in fact is part of the menu strip. The label displays some info to the user but I wish it were transparent. I've tried various methods including
lblAct.Parent = mnuMain '(or Me)
lblAct.BackColor = Color.Transparent
lblAct.BringToFront()
But cant get it to work. How I can make that label in that position transparent?
