From the visual code requests as you can guess i think a good GUI is very important in an App. What i want is to lower the opacity of my textbox so u can see the SWF in the background, is this possible?
View 3 RepliesI want to create forms with panel opacity, but this is not possible. Panel's don't have an opacity option and making the entire form transparent, makes everything you put into it just as transparent.
[Code]...
Is it possible to set the opacity of controls separate from the opacity of the main form window? What I want is to be able to set the form window and labels as "see through" (but not invisible) while keeping the data fields fully visible or mostly visible.
For example, form background and labels at 50% opacity and comboboxes and listboxes at 90% opacity.
I am new at asking questions on this fourm (and at programing V.B.) so if I make any mistakesMy question is when displying images on a form is it possible to make them so they start off with 10% opacity and gradualy become solid using a timer?

I searched around google for a couple of hours to see if I could find anything on what I wanted to do.
Needless to say, I didn't find much. Basically, what I want to do is, when my main form loads, I want to load another form that sticks to the desktop but is transparent (Opacity) except for the text I want in it.
The only thing I could find is how to reduce the opacity of the form. I don't want the form to have a border or be able to be moved around by the user. I still want the user to be able to put icons over it, but not mess with it. I also don't want it to show up on the task bar. Kind of like a background in it's own right.
I'm not even sure if a form is what I need to do this. I imagine that it can be done.
*Edit: I found an example of what I want, but I'm going to fill my form with different info [URl]..
Is there anyway of reducing the opacity of a form to 80% but at the same time have my buttons and text boxes to remain unhindered at 100%? When I reduce the opacity of the from the opacity of the text boxes reduce as well. How could I stop this from happening
View 5 RepliesHow can I make a partial opacity form something like this but with a working code:

I have a form as frmPopup which has a panel as pnlCtrlHolder. I'll using this form a popup and display a third form as control in this panel.
on form X.
dim frm as frmPopup
''Set the properties for this frmPopup
frm.Opacity=60
[Code]....
This makes entire form with frmContent with opacity =60, but I need this only on frmPopup but not on frmContent.
I am working on vb.net Winforms application. I understand that I am adding a form as control on a form with opacity as 60. But is there any way to achieve the desired result. .

View 5 RepliesI would like to show a form... example: Form13.Show()However, I would like to have the Opacity of the form controlled by the user and I am having trouble figuring out the coding. Ideally I will have a track bar to choose the level of opacity and a "Show" button for the user to click. But I am trying to tackle one issue at a time. I am using VB 2008 Express edition if it makes a difference.

View 6 RepliesI have a custom shaped form with a transparency key of black. With the opacity set to 100%, I do not see the garbage around my custom shaped form As soon as I change the opacity, I see a transparent square(my borderless form) around my form.
How do I make it where my form retains its custom shape, and can have an opacity of less than 100%?
If you want something you've never had, you need to do something you've never done.
I can't find a way to change the opacity of a mdi form within it's parent. I can change the parent form's opacity under properties, but can't change the embedded mdi form's opacity under it's properties. Opacity = 0.5 doesn't change the opacity of the mdi... works fine for the parent form. I was hoping that the embedded mdi forms functions would still be independent of the parent in order for me to change it's opacity.

View 1 RepliesI want to make it so when someone places the mouse cursor inside the form the opacity is 100% but when it leaves then it drops to 75%. This is my code:
Private Sub Form1_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseEnter
Me.Opacity = 100%
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseLeave
Me.Opacity = 75%
End Sub
The forms default value is 75% and it works fine when I mouse over. However when the mouse leaves the opacity doesn't drop. What am I doing wrong?
I have my form set up to be able to be kept on top if the user so chooses. When it is set to be kept on top, I want the opacity to be reduced when the form loses focus. When I set opacity on init, it works fine. When I use this code, it doesn't work:
Private Sub Form1_LostFocus(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.LostFocus
Me.Opacity = 0.2
End Sub
[code]....
Maybe I misunderstand how LostFocus and GotFocus work, but according to MSDN this appeared to be what I wanted.
I need to be able to change my form's opacity without changing the opacity of the components.
I really only need to do this on one form in my entire app, so this is getting a little frustrating
I've been researching for about half an hour now, trying to figure out if it's possible, but I'm coming up short.
I've seen some WPF examples and if it really comes to that, I'm more than willing to change the app from a WinForms app to a WPF app. I've made a WPF app before, so I'm familiar with it. But, I don't want to have to remake my entire project for this one form.
On that note, does anyone know if I can make a WPF form how I need it and just import it into a WinForm app? It doesn't seem possible, but it's better to ask than not. I'll look into this more.
I have a MDI form containing 2 other forms that I first created via GUI and than manually added to the MDI form.Form1 = MDI formForm2 = Form containing a WMP and buttonForm3 = Form containing a butoon. This form's opacity is set to 50%, to make it semi invisible.My MDI Form looks like this
Public Class Form1
Dim f As New Form2
Dim g As New Form3
[code].....
setting the form opacity programatically in the MouseEnter and MouseLeave events.The problem isn't with the actual events, the problem is that the events occur in places where I don't want it to happen.So in my project, I have a form with 3 user controls in it. The user controls are docked in the form so no actual space from the form is available to the user.
I have the methods:
Form1_MouseEnter(~) Handles Form1.MouseEnter, UserControl1.MouseEnter, UserControl2.MouseEnter, UserControl3.MouseEnter
Form1_MouseLeave(~) Handles Form1.MouseLeave, UserControl1.MouseLeave, UserControl2.MouseLeave, UserControl3.MouseLeave
when you enter the form, the form opacity is set to 1. And when left, the form opacity is set to 0.7 .However, what happens right now is obviously that when the user changes the mouse position from one user control to another, the form opacity flickers (turns to 0.7 and back to 1 really fast).
I trying to fade-in the application startup form using the forms opacity and a timer control.I dont know if I am using the right approch to achieve this so suggestions for alternatativ approches are welcome.I have a form with a few randomly select controls on it, one of which is a textbox.When I run the code, the form and all its controls reflect the changes to the form opacity property set through the timer_tick event except the textbox.The textbox remains clear all the time and I would like to know: Why?[code].....
