Text In The Textbox Is Becoming Transparent?
Mar 20, 2011It'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.

View 1 RepliesMaking A Function That Reorders The Text Put Into A Textbox?
Oct 8, 2011I am having trouble making a function that reorders the text put into a textbox. I then have to get that reordered data and put it into a list box.
Basically, 2 words separated by a comma are entered into a text box (say Wash, Car is put into the text box), then I need to get a function that reorders that string and be able to put in into a listbox that shows Car Wash. So it gets the word after the comma first, then gets the word before the comma. It should do this with every string.
Need to use a function for this.
Right now I really just have
Dim Word As String
Word = textbox1.text
'Then the function to reorder the name and return the reordered name will go right here
What this is suppose to do?
- Example, some puts Wash, Car into textbox 1. List Box 1 will display Wash Car.
- Basic, Visual in textbox1, list box 1 will display Visual basic

View 1 RepliesVS 2010 Making A Transparent, Clickable Button OR Label?
Oct 28, 2011First post here, so I have no clue if this is the right place to ask this or not, but it looked like it.
Anyways, what I'm trying to do as an exercise is make a roulette game. I decided it would be best to put my buttons ON the actual table itself, so that the player can click which one he wants to bet on, and it'll bring up an Input Box asking how much he wants to bet, and yeah.
So, I tossed a button on there, set the parent to the picturebox of the roulette table, set the back color to transparent, and got rid of the text. Lo and behold, it's transparent!
Making A Control "disappear" Behind Another Transparent One?
Sep 17, 2011The "This is a test......" text is a label, that is the child of a Canvas. The Canvas is the child of the horizontal StackPanel that also has the blue Canvas with the team records on it as well as the team logo images and the team name labels. The black line is where the Canvas that holds the "This is a test....." label starts.I wan't the "This is a test....." text to roll from right to left, but the problem is that because all the controls on the StackPanel are transparent, the text doesn't "dissappear" underneath them, even when they leave the area of their parent control. How can I make them do that? ZIndex isn't the answer because my problem is not which control is on top, but instead the fact that the controls "above" it are transparent.

View 1 RepliesVS 2010 Transparent/Background On Rich Text Box Or Text Box?
Mar 17, 2012I've been wanting to create a look like the attached jpeg Ive been looking around for a few hours for a solution to make text boxes transparent or have a background image. I've found a few projects on this form and elsewhere which include transparent text boxes, but every time I try to use it the way I need to--with the text box over a picture box--there are always various rendering errors. Most of the time, the text box is transparent if its just placed on the form (not over any other controls). But when I place them over other controls (like picture boxes), the 'transparent background' always take on the color of the form background.
This is one that I was trying to use. I found a few others around, but they all had the same render errors more or less.[URL]...I figured transparency or background images would have been supported natively. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe I missed something in my searches. I didn't really see anything which adds background images in text boxes (rich or otherwise). At this point, I'd just like anything that works, so it doesn't really need to have transparency--just a simple background image would be great.

VS 2008 Unable To Have A Transparent Textbox By Using A Label?
Sep 13, 2009I'm trying to evade the problem of being unable to have a transparent textbox by using a label. When the label is selected, it selects the info in a textbox elsewhere. Then using Textbox.changed, i stream the text to the label. Maybe the code will make sense:
Private Sub UserLabelClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles UserLabel.Click
UserTB.SelectAll()
End Sub
[code]....
But the text is not selected and therefore cannot be changed.
The Glass Effect Causes Any Text In The Text Box To Be Transparent?
May 13, 2009I've successfully used DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea from dwmapi.dll. It adds glass to about 40 pixels down from the top, and 40 pixels up from the bottom. I can put a button on the glass and either set it's background color to transparent or it's UseCompatibleTextRendering = True so that is displays correctly on the glass (the middle part of the form is a regular form, I can put controls there fine). Now, here's my problem... I want to put a search text box at the top right hand section of the form on the glass (similiar to IE and other wizard like glass forms that have search boxes integrated). Also, this is a WinForm.
The problem:The glass effect causes any text in the text box to be transparent, I need to know how to get around it so the text box is always opaque.
What I've tried:
1.) Manually drawing the transparent color over the form in the Paint event, skipping the section where the text box is located (doesn't work).
2.) Change the color of the text in the text box so it's not black (since black triggers the glass effect). I couldn't get the glass to work at all with any color other than black (even when I set the form's transparcy key to another color).
3.) I've read and followed every FAQ / instruction list I could get my hands on to no avail (most were from 2006 before Vista in production).
4.) I've looked with UI Spy at the text box in the IE glass section, and that text box has a background color of transparent (which I tried and the .Net textbox/richtextbox don't allow you to set a background color of transparent)
I've read that you can create a custom control and custom draw it to be opaque, but I'm not sure where to start with that (I can make custom controls, but as per drawing them myself I need a little direction).

View 9 RepliesDraw Semi-transparent Text On A Graphics Object?
Mar 15, 2010I want to draw a text with 32 bit transparency on a graphics object. When I try, I only get black color in the result.
If I try to draw a line with the same semitransparent color, it works perfectly.
I have this code:
lBitmap As New Bitmap(32, 32, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb)
lGraphic As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(lBitmap)
lGraphic.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality
[Code]...
I was thinking it may be that SolidBrush does not support transparency, but I found a predefined brush named Transparent (Brushes.Transparent) that was a SolidBrush when I looked at it in debug. I tried to use Brushes.Transparent as the brush when drawing the text, and it was successfully not showing at all. That means I get full transparency to work, but not partial transparency.
