I'm working on a UserControl which has two PictureBoxes.One has the picture I want to display to the user and the other has a picture that I use as an overlay.The overlay PictureBox uses a PNG image with a transparent background. 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 RepliesWhen the dialog pops up, the screen dims down almost as if they overlapped the screen with a transparent black layer of some sort. This is easily accomplish able by creating a black form and having its opacity set to half and starting it maximized-which I'm already doing. The problem with this though is I need to do this within a form, so using a panel or anything is out of the questions since transparency really grabs the background image and not the actual controls underneath. Plus I feel if adding a form to another forms controls depletes it's ability to use it's opacity property.The form I need this in is my cash register. It is full screen but if my menu auto hides it still resizes. It has two parts, the order(panel to the left) and the payments(panel to the right). As you could imagine I want the payments portion blacked out until the order is capable of accepting payments(the payment due is greater than 0). Or I'm thinking it fallows the mouse, you mouse over the payments and the orders panel blacks out, and vice verse.
Plus I have tried googling this but no one seems to have the answer on other forums.. Everyone gets confused and the thread ends short with no solution. Apparently though experts-exchange has the answer, but wants me to pay... so no. Wish their site would stop showing up in my google results.But did have an idea of what I could do. My best guess was I could take a snap shot of just the panel I want to black out. Set it as the background image for that panel THEN use my overlay panel(back color sent to black) overlapping the appropriate section with it's transparency set to half.. But still I'm not sure how to take a snap shot of just a particular.control..

I 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?

View 3 RepliesI need some help when it comes to putting transparent items (such as picture boxes and labels) over a bottom-most picture box. I am using a picture box for my form's background since the background is an animated gif.Here is what I have so far:
A form with no background, and black color.A picture box with an animated gif. The entire picture spans the size of the form, so it appears it is the background.A label with a transparent property on top of the picture box.Anyway, when I set the label to be transparent, it seems to show through to the VERY back of the form (the black) I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to make the label "draw" over the picturebox instead of showing through to the very back.

View 9 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.

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.
[code]...
At the moment when I click the button I see the PictureBox flicker with the image for a splitsecond.
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?
