View 9 RepliesIt's been a while since I've had a VB issue, but every so often one pops up. Today I'm trying to add a textbox to a form which has aero glass on it. The problem is that the text in the textbox is becoming transparent. Here's an image of what happens when I debug my project:
I have looked into lots of articles on CodeProject, etc. But none of them seem to adress this issue (some let you paint labels to aero-glassed areas, but there are none which I can find which can deal with textboxes or comboboxes. how I could make sure that the text on the textbox is always black no matter what is behind the aero glass. I know it's possible because of IE8.
I've looked into the Control.Paint event, but I'm not sure how I could make sure that the text color is always black. Putting my textbox inside another control (say a Panel) does not prevent the transparent effect from happening.
I set form.Opacity = 0.5, textbox1.Multiline = True, textbox1.Height = 60. when running the code, i key-in any text in Textbox, until textbox's Vertical scrollbar visible, when i move up the scrollbar, system hang and wait few minute then system become normal back.

View 8 RepliesI searched the forums and most of the topics involving this seem to be for Compact Framework. I need a transparent text label which shows an object directly beneath it. In this case, a rectangle. (Visual Studio 2010) I noticed that when I set the label background to transparent it shows the form bg instead of anything between the label and the form. How can I work around this without setting my form background to an image? If I were to make a custom control for it, how would that be achieved?

View 3 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."
I have a borderless form with its transparency key set to its background color. I have a richtextbox a little smaller than the form clinging to the bottom left corner of the form. At the top right corner of the RTB, I have an overlapping button control that's clinging to the top right edge of the form (it's overlapping the top right corner of the RTB.) The image I have selected for the button is a circle, so I changed the flatstyle to flat, made the border 0, made the mouseover and mousedown background colors transparent, and of course made the control's background color transparent.
Here's the problem... When I run the program, instead of seeing the top right corner of the RTB that is overlapped by the button through the button, all I see is the window that's behind my program's form (or the desktop if there is no background window.) I want to see that corner! It's supposed to look like a sheet of paper with a button overlapping the corner.[code]...
I want when I color a shape ,that color does not wipe the background picture.I want it be transparent not solid :S I tried Opticity property :-/ but it is just for the whole form :icon_sad: ,it does not available for the color.

View 2 RepliesI have a small picturebox(34x34 pixels) and want to have a transparent label(maybe 12x12 or 15x15 pixels) in the corner of it, which will be used as a counter.
I saw another forums suggesting adding the PictureBox as a parent to the Label, like this:
Label1.Parent = PictureBox1
Label1.BackColor = Color.Transparent
But then the label just disappears, and no text is displayed.
I'm trying to make an image in a picturebox transparent, so that i can see and click the controls behind it in the transparent area. This reason for this is that i'm trying to make a hexagonal grid that needs each cell to work independantly of each other when clicked, and needs to include a changing image. I'm trying to do this with pictureboxes, but even though i've made the GIF images i'm using transparent in photoshop, They aren't displayed as such in design view or at runtime, as the corners stay grey. I'm making a clone of the Quiz-show Blockbusters
