I have a tab control that I would like to set the background image of each button's interface to the same image. I set the color to transparency and set the background image, but the background image only works on one button's interface.

I am trying to assign a button to let a resource ( JPEG image ) become the background of my form. But instead, the background becomes blank. Here is what I wrote:
Public Class Choose_Background
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.BackgroundImage = My_Project.My.Resources.african_lion

I need to use the existing color of a tab in TABCONTROL to color other buttons that are not on tab area. How should I do this. My tabs use the 3 number system and not the names of colors.
ie: BackColor 255, 128, 0
Background of form: black
background of char, bombs and shrooms: transparent
picbox behind char, bombs and shrooms is regular (marioland)
How can i fix it so the transparent parts dont see form as background but marioland as background?
When I click the left or right arrow buttons on the keyboard my tabcontrol tabpage changes from one tab to another. How can I cancel the arrow buttons from changing the tab pages? In other words how can I disable the arrow buttons when the tabpage has focus? Is it possible to do this without extending the base class?

remove the tabs from the TabControl and just buttons to control which screen is shown.Ive coded a form that uses buttons to hide and show panels but because you cant click buttons in design view, its extremely hard to edit the content in the panels.

View 4 RepliesI am making a program that calculates various results with variables entered by the user. What I am trying to do is incorporate a function that will allow the user to switch from metric to imperial easily but only when the ok button is pressed. Now I got all the coding done for the metric and everything is working fine. My problem is when I use the radiobuttons to switch the entered variable in the text box to the desired unit it gives me a 0 or a random number in the textbox...
I also have labels indicating each variables unit which I easily managed to change with the text box using this code. :
'Change Labels to Metric
lblMDegreeC.Text = "Degree C"
lblMDegreeC2.Text = "Degree C"
lblMmm.Text = "mm"
lblMmm1.Text = "mm"
lblMmm2.Text = "mm"
lblMm.Text = "m"
lblMm2.Text = "m"
lblMm3.Text = "m"
lblMDegreeC3.Text = "Degree C"
I created all the coding to convert the metric variables to imperial. My problem is changing the textbox text when the user switches the units during run time. The labels change without a problem but the textbox never works. I have attached the coding for the file.
I can't remember exactly if this is possible or not but what I am attempting I would think should theoretically be possible. I know it is possible in WPF but the company I am working for doesn't want to make the transition just yet. Basically what I want is to use a background image on a form for the background and I have a docked control on the right and left. I have set the background on both of these docked controls to transparent however it is showing the back color rather than the background image. I tried, rather than setting the background image property, to override the onpaintbackground and onpaint events and use e.graphics.draw(picture, me.clientrectangle) but it still seems to just pick up the backcolor as the true transparent background so I'm wondering if it's possible to get it to show the background image through the control rather than the backcolor of the form?
View 3 Replieswhat I am trying to accomplish worked with the code in the last thread I posted a while back. I still am using this code, however, I changed the window size to work better and gave it a nicer background for the title screen of my project. Now what I am working on at the moment is making a settings form that has 2 labels. One for "Default" Layout and one for "Plain" layout. When default is at start, the default label is disabled,and when plain layout is clicked, the button is disabled and default button is enabled.Basically, this is a toggle switch for default or plain where if one is enabled, the option for it is disabled and the other is enabled.My problem is that when I switch from Plain back to default, the background Image will not switch back from the plain background color of "control"Here is my code:
Public Class Settings
Private Sub LinkLabel1_LinkClicked(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs) Handles LinkLabel1.LinkClicked
MiDNiGHT.BackgroundImage = Nothing[code].......
When I set the button background image in properties, it looks great. When the button is clicked, the image needs to change. I tried to use an image list like this: btnSample.BackgroundImage = ImlStimuli.Images.Item(0)and I tried loading them from a file. I can get them to read, but the image always turns out blurry or distorted. I've tried all variations of alignment, BackgroundImageLayout like stretch/zoom/centered, and I changed flat style, but nothing has worked. Is there a setting or something that I'm missing in properties?

View 3 RepliesMy app allows the user to set a new button on a tabpage, move it and resize it. They will do this over a background image so the buttons line up with images in the background.Without the background image, the buttons move smoothly and quickly. With the image turned on, the buttons want to move sloooowly and they drag. I made up this code just to show the basic function of what I am trying to accomplish.

View 15 RepliesI have created a customized tab control (i.e. inserted a 'close' image to the right side of the tabpage, which accepts click envent). Hence, the Drawmode property of the control is set to 'OwnerDrawFixed'. Now I want to insert a icon(likely favicon) to the left side of the tab page. Since the drawmode property is set to 'OwnerDrawFixed', I was unable to use the Imagelist property.

How to make glossy button in Vb.Net?
or
how change button background on mouseover?
Using Visual Studio 2005 (vb.net) (windows forms) on Windows XP, I have a standard Microsoft TabControl.A button click adds/removes an image from 1 of the Tabs.Seems like the image is placed OVER my tab's text, making it unreadable.Why isn't it like it should be: Image on the left. Followed by text on the right.Why is the image being placed OVER my tab's text? Do I need to do some kind of "refresh" or "redraw" before it will appear as it should? I don't see any way to "make the image appear on the left edge of the tab". (NOT the tab-page.) ... and then place the text just to the right of the image. (Just like a normal image+text tab can do.)The code is pretty simple, it just gets an image from my ImageList: cfgTab.ImageKey = "PadLockClosed.png"' Show CLOSED PadLockThe tab's text changes from: This is my tab text to: T(IMAGE HERE)is my tab text The image appears OVER the beginning of my text. But if I move to another tab, then move back, the image appears in the correct position:(IMAGE HERE) This is my tab text
