VS 2008 Color Outline On Text When Using Transparency? (56k Warning)
Jun 10, 2009
I used my forms TransparencyKey property to make the form background invisible, but to keep the controls 100% visible. But, when I add a label onto the form, a border or outline shows up around the text (doesn't matter which color I do it with). My friend says that this isn't fixable and he said that it doesn't happen in VB6. I'm tempted to remake the project in VB6, but Windows 7 is being released soon and compatibility is a must.
What about C#? Does the issue occur as well? If not I'll just go with that.

Is there anyway to do this? Depending on the background color of the form, it is sometimes hard to see the light grey outline.

The 1st problem: I set the transparency key to a color and then set the forms background color to that color, and then set the background image to an image with rounded edges to give my form rounded edged. But the corners look VERY jagged.
The 2nd problem: Is there a way to make a form appear in the lower right corner above the task bar? Kind of like Avasts virus database definition update window.

I have some white text I am putting over a very light background. Is there anyway to outline the text in black? After some googling it looks like there are some pretty complicated solutions, but I am looking for something like a check box that says "outline". Is there such a beast?

I've read that using TransparencyKey on a form (for the creation of non-linear forms) only works with color density at 16 bit.
I've tried it a 32 and 16 and found it to be true.

I've tried adding a splash screen ]...to one of my applications and after exploring a while I somehow managed to get it working what bugs me now is that my splash screen is in fact a image inside a picture box and the form always shows the control color behind so what I tried is adding the form color to the transparency key this worked, somehow now, I use a png image that has some transparent effect also what I've noticed is that where I would want to show the transparent effect from the image the transparent color that is set in the forum shows below is the image to get my point of view:
I'm wondering if I can remove that "pink" color (set by me in the forum) from the image .I want to get a effect like the one Adobe products have for example

I searched this topic and set RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Red after click button1, and set RichTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.DarkBlue for button 2 click event. But after I clicked either button, the text color was always black as forecolor set.

I have a custom-shaped form created by setting the Region to an image. I want to be able to highlight the edge of the form when it has focus. To do this I believe I need to get the outline of the form and convert it to a path so I can draw a two-pixel highlightaround the edge of the form.

I am working on an application which has transparent forms. By using transparency, I am smoothing the edges of the forms. I have got a bitmap which I set as background image of the form. I use red as form's transparency key. Although transparency works fine when my computers display is set to 24 bit color, when I change the setting to 32 bits, transparency doesn't work. In this case, users who have 32 bit color dept setting on their systems will not be able to use my application. When I searched the web, I found some solutions such as using bitmap.maketransparent command, or using magenta color for transparency key or using 32 bit bmp files etc. However none of them worked for me. Some forums suggest that this is a bug and there is no way to solve this problem. But if so, why some applications such as Winamp can display transparent forms although my color dept is set to 32 bit! I am sure there is a solution. I am working on VB.NET 2008 and my OS is Windows Xp Service Pack 2. Please help me about this subject.

Couldn't think of a better title.(Background on the problem/me)Okay, so, first question/post here, so hi. Now that that's done with, the information pertinent to my problem. I'm fairly new to VB (and programming as well, aside from screwing around with C++ and learning assembler(well, attempting is the better word) god knows how many years ago), and have only seriously been programming for about under half a year, and my skill level is about at that stage. Only been using VB.Net, nothing older. Depending on the time of day and if I'm home or at school, I fluxuate between VB express and Vis Studio 08. Umm, this program I'm having trouble with was on a test that I took yesterday (took the problem home with me cause I really wanted to figure out what was wrong with it).
The stipulations of the test were:
No For->Each Loops
No using Built-In Sorting or Searching Functions
[code].....

(1) Is this the correct approach?
(2) If so, how do I get the outline of the region so I can call DrawPath?

The Visual developer express outline provides hide/plus-minus signs throughout the HTML code, and it does this for Class's, but not for my subroutines in an ASPX file.Is there a way for it to do this, so I can reduce subroutines I'm not working on at the moment? I know I can highlight areas and hide, but it's kind of clunky to do quickly through many subroutines if I have 2k lines and a hundred subroutines.

Is there a way of making a Picture Box have a transparency so that any objects (e.g buttons) that are layered underneath the picture box will be shown through?
Or if there is any other way of getting the mouse coordinates only on the form. So when the mouse cursor is placed at 20,20 on the form it will give back the coordinates 20,20 no matter where the form is placed on the screen

I'm trying to make a textbox either fully or partially transparent, so you are typing over whatever is behind the textbox. I need it to actually be transparent and not just have the illusion of transparency, because I'm going to put a control behind the text box so the user can enter text over the other control to line up the characters. I have found dozens of threads and pages about doing this and they are all drastically different and none of them seem to work at all
