A while ago I wrote something that was incredibly simple, however it was 3 years ago and I can't for the life of me find where I saved it(upgraded computers twice since then and a few things managed to disapear in the process) I tried for the last few days trying to figure out how I did it and realized that someone may be able to see what I cannot.

On my datatable (I hope that's the correct word) I have two columns that I want to store color values. I changed the data type to "System.Drawing.Color".
However it would appear I cannot simply type in the string (e.g: "Color.Black") to add it to the database. And when using an update SQL query and make it look for color values on the form, it wants to convert them to string.
Is it possible to store color values like this in this way or do I have use another method?
How can I display a color dialog with a list of known web colors for the user to choose?
E.g.
black
white
dimgray
gray
darkgray
silver
etc.
I need to display ALL web colors

I've got a VB.NET form that's got a ListView control, Tab Control and custom control. Ideally want the ListView and Tab controls to be faded while the user is entering data in the custom control. It seems these sorts of control don't have any opacity settings. Is there any way to set the opacity?

View 6 RepliesAnyone got any ideas on how i would go about fading in/out a textbox? Because only forms have opacity properties i was thinking of something like setting the background color to transparent and setting the forecolor of the text to the same as the background color. Then using a timer i could slowly change it to black, etc.
View 7 RepliesI'm studying Visual Basic (using Visual Studio 2008) as part of an all-round IT foundation degree...I must confess that programming is becoming my weak spot! Unlike the C++ I was taught last year, I'm not finding VB too easy...probably becasue I've never programmed this way before and I've missed a couple of lessons.
View 1 RepliesWhen creating a right click (ContextMenuStrip) menu for a systray (NotifyIcon) icon, how do I give it the same style as most other context menus? Most other menus have a nice fade inout when right clicking on the system tray Icon. In addition they respond immediately when moving between nested levels. I cannot replicate this in Visual Studio 2008 using a simple form, NotifyIcon and ContextMenuStrip assigned. The menu appears harshly with no fade effect regardless of any property.

OK, if any of you use Facebook, you'll know what I mean, you click Share after you type in what you want, and it pushes everything else down, fades in, and slides. I need that to happen, and I need it to happen with labels because I can get the code for a textbox to work, but without the awesome effect.
View 2 RepliesI am a VB hobbyist and a new one at that. I am trying to create a transition effect in VB.NET 2008 when a certain form closes. The transition will take the form's current BackColor and slowly drop all the RGB values in it to 0 via a loop, obtaining a Fade to Black transition. I was able to come up with the code below. It works great. Maybe too great. It goes so fast that there is no transition. To the human eye it looks like the screen just went black instantly. Is there an easy way to enable a delay or pause in the below code to slow the loop down so that the end user sees the transition, and not just a quick jump to black?

I'm working on a windows toolbar that I'd like to fade when the cursor is pulled away. I'm not quite sure if there is an event to check for Mouse Movement OVER the title bar though?! (my code below fades the form when I put the cursor over the forms title bar).

I'm using VS 2008 under Windows 7. When I hover the mouse over a variable in debug mode, the value will fade in slowly. Sometimes it is annoyingly slow, I just want the value to show up, no animation or fading. Or is this fading feature a Windows thing and not a VS thing?
View 2 Repliesi like the way the form fading works by changing the form's opacity.this is for a sample app. with just a button and a checkbox..
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim iCount As Integer[code].....
this works fine for a simple form. when i add the code to a busy form with many controls (buttons, pictureboxes, panels, etc.) the form glitches, not but much, just enough to keep me away from using the code for fading..

What I've got so far, is as follows: The user is presented with 3 sliders (one each for R, G and B) and a button. The 3 sliders each go from 0 to 15 - and when the user hits the "Show me!" button, Select Case jobbies translate the 0 to 15 values as seen here:
