Making A Control "disappear" Behind Another Transparent One?

Sep 17, 2011

The "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.

Make A Control Appear And Disappear?

Mar 27, 2010

I have 4 different panels, which I want to appear in the SAME spot on the form at different times. Currently, I've just got all four stacked on top of each other in the designer, and I'm toggling their visible properties to show each. This is becoming extremely difficult though, as now I have different buttons in each panel, and the panels keep getting accidentally put inside each other when I move them.

VS 2010 Making A Transparent, Clickable Button OR Label?

Oct 28, 2011

First 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!

Forms :: Make A Label Control Transparent Over A Panel Control?

Jul 9, 2009

I'm trying to make a label control transparent over a Panel control.However by setting the background colour of the label to Transparent, it actually sees right through to the form itself, not the panel as intended.

As an example we use a panel with a background as white, we make the label transparent, however it gets the form�s colour as blue.However, we are using a custom panel control and need the label to be transparent over the panel and not see the forms background.

Transparent Control's Background

Dec 16, 2010

I have been looking in a lot web site and forums trying to find the way to make my picturebox background transparent or catch whatever I drew on top of a transparent panel, let's explain it.
Case 1-) I trying to make an app, where the user can load onto the winform a word document(I have part this ready), then I put on top of the control where the doc. is loaded a transparent panel(this part is ready too) and the user can sing (on top the panel) then I need to get the user's draw(sing) and print it in the document.

Every time that I try to do it always I get everything that is within the panel area, then I just want the user's sing.

case 2-) I tried to use a picturebox then it works perfect, I can get just the user's sing and print it back in the document, but the problem is, I can't put a picturebox on top of the control where the doc. is loaded because then I can't see the doc.

If anybody wants to see the code to make the panel transparent, or catch whatever you draw on top the pictureBox.

How To Make Transparent User Control

Oct 17, 2011

I 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."

Transparent Control Shows Up As Black

Aug 6, 2009

Im working on in VB.net. Basically I�m trying to create a nice looking control that draws several PNG images (stars in this example) that light up as you hover the cursor over them. This side of things is working perfectly (see picture 1).

[URL]

The problem is trying to make it work using a transparent background for the control. I can make the control transparent by setting the controls back color and using Me.Setstyle to enable transparency support, but every time the image refreshes to show any lit stars it repaints over the stars again � making the shaded areas darker each time. This results in a horrible mess (see picture 2).

[URL]

Next I tried to clear the background each time a repaint occurs so that the stars are drawn on a blank canvas each time to stop this problem. The only way I know how to do this is to use graphics.clear(Color.Transparent) before my code to paint the star images. But this does not work as the control shows a black background instead of a transparent one (see picture 3)!

[URL]

away the background to leave me with a transparent canvas to paint images onto? And is anyone smart enough to come up with a solution to this irritating issue?

Transparent Ruler / Bar Type Control

Nov 14, 2011

I am looking for a VB control that operates as a more or less transparent or semi-transparent ruler or bar that can be scrolled up and down the form over an invoice or letter, so that the user can see what is under the ruler/bar and thus stop scrolling when he reaches a certain point.

To give a bit more detail of what I am looking for - such a bar is used when someone is setting the focus on a line of a long list of items so that they know where they are all the time. Most people would use a ruler on a paper list to keep track of how far they have progressed down the list. It would be nice though to have the "ruler" or bar as semi-transparent so that the user can see under where he is at on the list or form.

Why Control Needs So Many Time To Show Transparent

Mar 24, 2012

i know that VB.net and above don't use true transparency(and maybe true opacy) except forms, but even them have 1 visual bug. because if the we put the backcolor igual to transparent key, the picturebox is transparent... but give us a form hole.i found several codes that do transparency, but i see 1 problem on them, because the control needs time to be transparent.[code]some codes(that i founded on internet) are diferent but give us the same result.can anyone explain to me why the control needs so many time to show transparent?(i have tested using the keyboard to move the control, and i see the control is like visible and then hide and then visible. and if i continue click on key, the control isn't showed until i release the key)
