Get Alpha Value From ARGB?
Feb 11, 2010
1: Start with bitmap in picturebox colored white2: Draw a filled rectangle (50,50,100, 100) Color black - ARGB (255,0,0,0)3: Draw a filled rectangle covering black rectangle (25,25,150, 150) Color blue, with Alpha set to 100 - ARGB (100,0,0,255) -because of 100 Alpha setting the black rectangle is visible through the blue rectangleProblem : Using bitmap.GetPixel on the blue rectangle (over white background) the result is ARGB(255,155,155,255) -an Alpha value of 255. The new color loooks the same but is not transparent.Question: How to find Alpha(transparency) value of pixel

I have PNG and need to know if it has an alpha (or if the alpha is completely white)? How can I accomplish this in vb.net code.

Im using VBStudio 2010 Pro and I am writing to the registry the Font and Background colors so that my form load will apply the chosen colors. Can't get it to work for me though.
Am setting like this:
ColorDialog.ShowDialog()
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USERBMSUFontColor", "FontColor",

I'd like to know how to convert argb to rgb

I have a hexadecimal value contained in a string in the format like #FF00 for red, #0FF0 for green and #00FF for blue. I remove the hash sign so it's just the hexadecimal number but after that, I'm stuck? I know there's a convert.tostring or something but I'm not sure how to use it when converting from hex to decimal.[code]How do you do the reverse of this? From Hexadecimal to Decimal so I can create the argb value of my brush colour. If there is an easier way, please say but, as far as I am aware, Visual Basic.net 2010 doesn't let you define a colour using #0FF0.

Q1. is there a way to set an argb value to a Control?
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.AllowTransparency = True
Me.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(155, 255, 0, 0)
End Sub
i get error when setting BackColor "control does not support tarnsparent background colors"
Q2. is there any difference between this 2:
argb(255,0,0,127) "opacity is 1, blue is half" and
argb(127,0,0,255) "opacity is half, blue is max"
Q3. what if there are rounding off errors in the conversion to/from argb/rgb say argb(200,0,0,150) when converted to 255 opacity i get (255,0,0,117.5585938~)can i say that argb(255,0,0,118) is exactly equal to argb(200,0,0,150) or is argb(255,0,0,117) exactly equal to argb(200,0,0,150), or is there no way to exactly convert argb(200,0,0,150) to a value with alpha at 255?
Q4. is it true that there is absolutely no relation between argb and rgb, because the actual rgb value of an argb depends on the color of the element behind it?

Why is it that in parts of the .Net architecture that ARGB colours are expected be as type Integer when ARGB is outside the range of Integer? (ARGB requires 32 bits of precission, but Int has 31 bits of precission).Now of course I could just do a conversion, but what freaking conversion to use??? (I'm not affluent with all the VB global methods and the sort)
I've tried things like:
Code:
Dim value As Integer = &H80000014
Dim uvalue As UInteger = CType(value, value)
''overflow others include Convert.ToUInt32 -> value was either to large or to small and a few others all offering up nonsense about overflows, when all I freakin' want is a colour that Microsoft's own engineers have done stupid things like expect Integer values in places where UInteger should be, or vice versa. How about some consistency...
Code:
Dim value As UInteger = &H80000014 ''<- not represntable as a Uinteger???
Dim uvalue As UInteger = 2147483668 ''<- same value in decimal, same exact value! and it works this says it's not representable as a UInteger?

I'm trying to create a program using Visual Basic .NET 2010 that alters the use of my media keys - Volume up, Volume down, Play, etc. All of the example I have found don't seem to compile quite correctly in 2010. Don't get me wrong they run fine and look exactly as specified but the problem is that the form cannot be edited because it claims the designer code is ill-formatted or something along the lines of that.
Can anybody possibly spare a project or form that has perpixel alpha transperancy?The only thing i want to do is show an overlayed png that has an alpha channel, on the desktop. The form border style will most certainly be "NoBorder"

I am trying to create a function that would take 2 images. 1 of the images is a grayscale image and the other is a normal image. What i want to do is apply any of the R or G or B of the grayscale image (in grayscale image r=g=b so it makes no difference) to the Alpha of the second image. i DID succeed on it. However the code is EXTREMELY slow. It takes 1 second to perform it. And i have to perform the function atleast 30 times a second (it will be outputting to a Decklink card). Here is the code:
public function createOverlay(ByVal Main as Bitmap, ByVal Key as Bitmap) as Bitmap
For index as integer =0 To (Key.Width*Key.Height)-1
Dim crntX= index Mod(Key.Width)
[code].....
This function will have to run infinitley until the user presses stop and keep updating the output buffer. How can i make it faster? ( i need at least 30 executions per second)

I would like to drop a few buttons onto a picture box or a container control that has a background image set.
I would like to have the button's image be an alpha PNG file.
I can manage the mouse over and click such that the button behaves exactly as one does on a web page.
I struggled with it in vb.net 2005 with no luck. If you take a PictureBox and lay it on top of another PictureBox, and set its images to alpha PNG's, and its background to transparent, then the form shows up in the alpha blend, not the other picture box.
And if i accept that i am limited to the background of the form, then it's performance then becomes unacceptable.Since i can Graphics.DrawImage onto a PictureBox's image fast, i assume that the folks at Microsoft must have decided to use the form's background (and slow painting, and not the other controls and the z-order), by design. I cannot for the life of me figure out why they have made that choice.
So my question is this:Does vb.net 2010 support the layering of controls that supports alpha transparency, and can we now create a custom-control with a transparent background?

I've been tingling with the colors of listviewitems.For the most part, they work great, but I can't set alpha:
Me.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(100, 40, 40, 40)
Me.ForeColor = Color.FromArgb(1, 255, 255, 255)
Me.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(100, 40, 40, 40)
Me.ForeColor = Color.FromArgb(100, 255, 255, 255)
The result of any of these two lines is exactly the same ( no change in alpha ). The colors take ok though.

I have problems with transparent form problem is that its too slow example if i click on button where it should just switch another panel control it takes 3-4 seconds because of redrawing [url] so at form load is called redraw() and if i click on a button and panel is switched i again call redraw() form load 6 second switching panels 3-4 seconds

I am going to blend two images together using multiply blending, and will iterate through all pixels. I have search in wikipedia that the calculation of multiply blending is:
resultRGB= src * dst / 255
but it didn't mention about alpha, how does alpha affect the result?
For y = 0 To fsrc.Height - 1
For x = 0 To fsrc.Width - 1
Dim d As Color = fdst.GetPixel(x, y)
Dim da = d.A / 255, dr = d.R / 255, dg = d.G / 255, db = d.B / 255

I have a string that I need to split. I need both parts of the string returned.
I need to split the string after the last alpha character and create a string array from the 2 seperate results.
The string will always varry, but there will always be at least 1 alpha char at the beginning of the string. Here are some examples:
AB1/2
Should return as "AB" and "1/2"
ABC1 1/4

Seen this question asked a lot but can't seem to find an answer. So here it is. Can you use a PNG with an alpha channel as the background image for a VB app? I don't care about changing the shape of the app rectangle is fine. They just want to use a character with a drop shadow behind him as the background for the app.

I am using VB.NET 2005 and my problem is to sort binded DataGridView using numeric sorting (but for strings). As i understand problem is the same as in:http:[url].......or in http:[url].......My DataGridView.Datasource = DataTable. I want DataGridView to be able sorting numericaly when Column headers are clicked. This common function must be very easy, but unfortunately it is not :(. How can i get write sorting? I don't find answer in internet.Link1 is without explanable and i think it is for unbinded DataGridView and link2 is for for C+ or C#.
Examples:
Real Sorting when clicked on "Ports" header (other columns need write sorting too):
"COM1"

I am creating a project with a maximized per-pixel alpha form. However, the normal input events (MouseDown, MouseWheel, KeyPress, etc) are never raised. I've been able to create some bare-bones functionality by overriding the WndProc method, but some things elude me. For example, I want to detect mouse wheel scrolling. When I check for the mouse wheel message, it works fine. Then I try to use the GetLParam function to get a MSLLMOUSESTRUCT with the scroll data. However, when I try to use it, I always get an error:"Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt." What can I do?-Must Program! Error: Not enough time to program

url...But what I'm looking for is just see if any alpha (0-254) is used in at least one of the pixels. Would the Bitmap.Lockbits and BitmapData method be the most efficient (speedy?) or is there another way. I've tried toying around with ColorPalette and the Alpha flag, but never could figure it out (and even if it is a way to check to see if the alpha channel is used at all).
