View 1 RepliesI'm trying to draw a semi-transparent layer over my entire form when certain events occur, with a prompt in front of this semi-transparent layer (similar to the effect in Windows Vista/7 with UAC enabled)At first I was trying to use a custom semi-transparent panel, but this didn't seem to work at all. As such I'm now trying to use a child form within the form using the opacity property on the form. However, when this semi-transparent form is added to the controls of the main form and displayed, it loses it's transparency.I've got a hacky work around at the moment where the semi-transparent layer isn't actually a component within the main form, and the transparency works then, but obviously this isn't ideal and could potentially cause various issues further down the line.

View 8 RepliesIs it possible to make a TextBox transparent?
I have a form that has a gradient background and I need the textbox to allow the user to type into and it shows the text and the blinking cursor carrot when it has focus, other than that it's totally transparent, like a label.
It'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.
I'm new to VB 2005. I've worked with VB5 for many years. I can't find anyway to make my text boxes and labels transparent in VB 2005 as I could in VB5(Backgrounds).

I'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.

View 1 RepliesI have a transparent layer on the top of a form. I need to display only some part of that transparent form.
-edited- If you think of a map and traffic signal icons displaying on the map. There are a map image layer and a traffic signal icons layer, which is tranparent except icons. if you move the map location, the traffic signal icons should move along with. if the certain area of map does not appear on the screen by moving, corresponding traffic signal icnos should disappear as well. This is what I am trying to do here. Moving the trasparent form is straightforward, but I need to hide some portion of that transparent form.

[Traffic sig] here I need to show "fic s" part only.
This is for a very small image.

View 6 RepliesI am trying to create a simple VB 2008 application with a resizable form that has a transparent background. Seems easy enough to do, but if I do nothing more than create a new Windows form project with one form, set the transparency key on the form to a colour, and then set the background to the same colour, and then run it, after about 3-5 resize operations, I cannot resize the form anymore, except from the top, if even then. No errors, just odd behaviour.

But it seems when I use the transparency Key the quality on the edges gets worse
View 6 RepliesI am having trouble finding a way to make the form transparent but the controls still visible. The only transparency I have been able to get to work on the form is
Me.Opacity = <value between 0 and 1>
but that affects all the controls on the form Is there a way to make the controls not inherit this property from the form? Is there another way to make the form transparent? I have buttons and a checkbox that I don't want to be affected by the transparency at all, and a picturebox that I do want to be able to control the level of transparency. Currently, I'm using a slider bar, and controlling the opacity of the form, but that makes everything on the form transparent. I'd actually like for the form itself to be completely invisible, and for my slider bar to control the opacity of the picturebox only.
I was wondering if anyone know's how to make a form or part of a form transparent like the top of Windows Vista Aero windows or the gadget gallery?
