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.

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."
I am attempting to write a simple 11ball style game. It requires images of poolballs overlapping each other. Since the balls will need some internal intelligence I was hoping to create them as usercontrols.I am having trouble gettiing the control's background to be transparent.Setting the background color to (Web) transparent only makes the background clone the form background color.
I have a button with a backgroun image of color white. My button is sitting on the toolbar which has a bacground color of Blue. When the button is sitting on the toolbar, the button looks white, however I want it to look like blue as the the background color of toolbar is Blue.

This is the Trackbar in MS Office Picture Manager, I can't make a transparent-background-trackbar like it, when I tried to make the background transparent, it say that "this control doesn't support transparent color", the trackbar also always behind the toolstrip (I chose "Bring to front" from context menu).
I 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 made one game Tic tac toe. Where the use could place a X or a O i used a empty label with back colour "transparent" for them to click on.I have now come round to making a Connect 4 game in the exact same solution, once again i am using empty labels for the users to select which slots to place there counters. However when i select "transparent" as these labels back colour they still dont go transparent.Its now happening on all forms, all projects, is there another attribute that controls if a background can be transparent?
I have some labels in my MDI parent form that I tired to make the background transparent but if I move the label on top of a form in run time, then the background is gray like that background of the MDI parent.
I know this may sound really difficult and annoying to complete but all i need is a form which has no borders at all,just some text floating topmost of all screen like a screensaver i tried adding a text but it still has a white background behind it and it looks like a sign instead of Floating Letters with no background at all also note that i dont want a form with a square border around it,because thats what it look like when i added form border style to none
Me again. I also have a png image and a web cam video in my form. I have transparent parts on the png image that show through to the form background colour.
How do I set it so it shows the video in the background, when I put the png image over the top of the video?
At the moment its still shows straight through to the back of the form?
I 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.
I have an app that uses transparency so that the background of the app is a custom shape.The problem I am having is the rounded corners are jagged. Not a nice clean rounded corner like you would see on an icon or widget. I have tried several different image types (i.e. PNG, GIF, etc). But it seems when I use the transparency Key the quality on the edges gets worse
I am using VS2008 to create a WM6.0 application using .NET CF 3.5, and have put a custom background on the form using the following code:
Overrides Sub OnPaint(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Dim asm As Assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly() Dim bgImage As New Bitmap(My.Resources.bg)
there is 1 problem that i keep trying to sort out but cant quite do it, this is in a form is there a way to make the background to it transparent? thus see all the pictureboxes, buttons, labels,etc. inside the form but not the form itself? the only things i can think of is opacity and visible however those just don't show anything in the form at all. if I try change the backcolor to transparent it ends up with an error as to what i can understand(correct me if i'm wrong) only controls and childs can have transparent backgrounds.
with a triangle formed object and the rest of the image(background) are transparent... how do i make the transparent area not click able?my code how it is now>
Private Sub PictureBox2_MouseDown1(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox2.MouseDown 'code for picturebox not start an click event. only if the image will be clicked>>
I 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.
I made a lot of letters, and I set all of thiers background color to Transpert. I STILL don't see any transperancy, because when I put "one letter on the other one", i can see thier background.
when i add my form into the picturebox the background color is argb(152, 0, 136) and i tryied to use TransparencyKey and Still the background color is 152, 0, 136 code:
Dim frm As New Form frm.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile(open.FileName) frm.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(152, 0, 136)
