From my understanding PictureBox's don't support transparent backgrounds. What I am trying to do is just have a single picture that needs a transparent background just to be on display with my form. So how do I do this?
View 5 RepliesI am using a picture box to load an animated gif as a background on top of my form (same size as the form). On top of that I have a standard label with some text. I have made the label background transparent but it doesn't display correctly with the animated picturebox behind it. The label background is transparent but it doesn't draw the animation correctly under it. It almost looks like it is drawing it at a few frames behind. Now, I know I can draw the text on the animated picturebox by hand (I have done that before) but I am not sure it is possible this time because the labels are part of custom controls.
View 4 RepliesOne last hangup with an application and I've tried like heck to research this but no luck.When I do a button click on my open file, it brings up a sub with all the open file code same for my save file and everything works perfectly.If, the open file dialog is on the screen and you should click either cancel or close I get the following argument exception unhandled, (and I've pasted all the details).It throws the exception at the very first line where textbox1 gets it's backcolor(txc(0)) is the variable in my.settings
If I open ANY file I have saved by clicking OK, all goes perfectly, it loads the file and I don't get the exception.I only get it when I click off the open file dialog with cancel or X.

I am trying to use a background image for one of my programs and I get this error when I try to make the BackColor Transparent. It allows me to use the Background image I want but I get this error when I try to change the BackColor to Transparent. A Box pops up that says "Property value is not valid.", then when I click Details, it says "Control does not support transparent background colors."
View 9 RepliesI need to plot some analog values read from the serial port.I plot them in a picturebox starting from left. When I reach the end of the control at the right side I shift all values to the left of a point and I plot the new point at the right, (I have some flickering but it could be acceptable). This is my plotting control.My problem is that I have to clear the control (picturebox) in order to plot the shifted graph, but the method Clear of the Graphics class clears everything inside the picturebox, even my grid.How can i make always visible a grid "in" my picturebox?
1.a transparent image with a grid over the PB? (the clear method cannot remove it)
2.an image with a grid below the picturebox that must be with a transparent background to make visible the grid?
3.multiple layers on the same picturebox?
I have two Picturebox and both should be transparent background, but the real problem is both transparent for form background but not over each other .
View 1 RepliesI am trying to design a basic version of spaceinvaders. I have 6 pictureboxes on my form and the idea is to add a value to the picbox.top property that moves the boxes down at a certain time and speed that i have set in my timer control. The problem i have is i am trying to set properties for all the pictureboxes at the same time by using arrays.
An example would be
dim mypic() as picturebox = {pic1, pic2, pic3, pic4, pic5, pic6}
pic1.top = 10

View 31 RepliesI have a picturebox with a pic in it, and I have a label on top of the picture.
I want the background of the the label to be transparent, so I set it's background prop to transparent and it's parent to the picturebox. I do this on form load, but for some reason the label entirely disappears once the form loads?
I 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
View 6 RepliesI am trying to use GDI+ to merge two PNG's with transparency that I have stored in an ImageList, and then show this in a PictureBox. My PictureBox size, first image size, and second image size are all the same. I thought this would be simple but the following code does not work and I am not sure why. I have searched but I could not find any code snippets specifically dealing with PictureBoxes.

However, every time I run the UserControl, the overlay does not display the transparent parts of the PNG image as transparent (It appears white).

View 2 RepliesI have a picturebox that contains an image and the background of that image has been set to transparent and saved as a .gif in photoshop cs2.
I used that image in a picturebox and I set the BackColor of that picturebox to transparent, but it's not transparent; I have a gray background on that picture.
Why is it that I can't seem to make a picturebox transparent? I just can't seem to figure it out, I set the back color to transparent, I even made a color in my image transparent but still no results. I've been able to make the back transparent before.

View 2 RepliesI'm playing with some new UI for one of my projects. I have created a digital display board in Photoshop and added a Picturebox in my VB project and used that image in it.But what I want to do is, I'll be displaying some text above that image. When I tried placing a LabelBox and setting it's BackColor to Transparent, doesn't work !
The text in the LabelBox will be changing each second. So, what I'm doing is using a Timer control with 1000 as interval and displaying the text.What will be the solution ? Do I have to draw the text on the picturebox on Paint event ?
I am trying to do something really simple. I have a small PictureBox control whose image is a GIF file that has some transparency (the white background is the transparent color). When I stick this control on a form, it is indeed transparent, as the color of the form shows where the white used to be. So far so good.
Now, I want to stick my small PictureBox on top of a much larger PictureBox, which is full of different colors. When I do so, the transparent gif no longer works - instead of showing the colors 'behind' the white, it is still showing the color of the form!
In VBA (e.g. MS Excel VBA form, using Image controls) this is trivial - you set the 'backstyle' property to 'transparent', and it works like a charm. But in Visual Studio 2005 I cannot for the life of me figure this out - it should be simple.
I started off with a VERY simple form and added a picturebox item to it. The code I was following used a procedure in the Form1.vb to override the transparent color of the image:
bmp.MakeTransparent(Color.Fuchsia)
bmp was defined in the Form's "Load" section.
Now things are different. I have more than 20 picturebox items now, each created in the Form1.Designer.vb code as follows:
Me.Tile020.Image = CType(resources.GetObject("Tile020.Image"), System.Drawing.Image)
Me.Tile020.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(922, 297)
Me.Tile020.Name = "Tile020"
Me.Tile020.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(64, 64)
Me.Tile020.TabIndex = 3
Me.Tile020.TabStop = False
The image is referenced from the resources. When I run the program, I'd like all these images to have their backgrounds transparent. None of these controls is currently referenced anywhere in the code at present. What's the best way to get them to display transparently, other than recreating them as transparent .PNG's?
i am making a program with graphics and im using a picturebox for a button. The image inside picturebox is transparent .gif. The problem is that i don't know how to make picturebox transparent. I searched the internet but all exaples didn't work. Does someone know how to fix this problem?
