I have a MDI form containing 2 other forms that I first created via GUI and than manually added to the MDI form.Form1 = MDI formForm2 = Form containing a WMP and buttonForm3 = Form containing a butoon. This form's opacity is set to 50%, to make it semi invisible.My MDI Form looks like this
Public Class Form1
Dim f As New Form2
Dim g As New Form3
[code].....
When I set the opacity of a form to 50%, the opacity of a label on that form is also set to 50%, but I do not want so, is there anyway to make a 100%-opacity-label with 50%-opacity-LabelBackground on a 50%-opacity-form?

I can't find a way to change the opacity of a mdi form within it's parent. I can change the parent form's opacity under properties, but can't change the embedded mdi form's opacity under it's properties. Opacity = 0.5 doesn't change the opacity of the mdi... works fine for the parent form. I was hoping that the embedded mdi forms functions would still be independent of the parent in order for me to change it's opacity.

I have my form set up to be able to be kept on top if the user so chooses. When it is set to be kept on top, I want the opacity to be reduced when the form loses focus. When I set opacity on init, it works fine. When I use this code, it doesn't work:
Private Sub Form1_LostFocus(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.LostFocus
Me.Opacity = 0.2
End Sub
[code]....
Maybe I misunderstand how LostFocus and GotFocus work, but according to MSDN this appeared to be what I wanted.
I need to be able to change my form's opacity without changing the opacity of the components.
I really only need to do this on one form in my entire app, so this is getting a little frustrating
I've been researching for about half an hour now, trying to figure out if it's possible, but I'm coming up short.
I've seen some WPF examples and if it really comes to that, I'm more than willing to change the app from a WinForms app to a WPF app. I've made a WPF app before, so I'm familiar with it. But, I don't want to have to remake my entire project for this one form.
On that note, does anyone know if I can make a WPF form how I need it and just import it into a WinForm app? It doesn't seem possible, but it's better to ask than not. I'll look into this more.
setting the form opacity programatically in the MouseEnter and MouseLeave events.The problem isn't with the actual events, the problem is that the events occur in places where I don't want it to happen.So in my project, I have a form with 3 user controls in it. The user controls are docked in the form so no actual space from the form is available to the user.
I have the methods:
Form1_MouseEnter(~) Handles Form1.MouseEnter, UserControl1.MouseEnter, UserControl2.MouseEnter, UserControl3.MouseEnter
Form1_MouseLeave(~) Handles Form1.MouseLeave, UserControl1.MouseLeave, UserControl2.MouseLeave, UserControl3.MouseLeave
when you enter the form, the form opacity is set to 1. And when left, the form opacity is set to 0.7 .However, what happens right now is obviously that when the user changes the mouse position from one user control to another, the form opacity flickers (turns to 0.7 and back to 1 really fast).
How to increase a forms opacity without increasing the opacity of the controls in the form?
View 1 RepliesThe end result we're looking for is a slideshow effect where a section of our main form shows a sequence of secondary forms which fade in/out on a timer.We can fade the forms in/out when they're shown individually, but the opacity setting doesn't seem to work when they're shown inside another form. What I've got, for testing, is code that should simply reduce the opacity to 10% after showing the inner form for a half-second, long enough to notice the reduction-except I don't see any change.
Dim f As New Form2()
f.TopLevel = False
Me.Controls.Add(f)[code]........
The opacity change takes effect without refreshing the form when shown 'stand-alone' but I've tried refreshing both the inner & outer form anyway, with no change.
I would like to place a form inside of a form, how would I do that?It would be like photoshop, where the tools form is inside the main form, or the filter form is inside the main form.
View 9 RepliesThe following code does create a form within a form and does place NotePad inside the child form. You have to manually start NotePad prior to execution (I work on that later) but the code does workŠ My problem is now I want to manipulate the properties of notepad i.e. focus, size, location, etc. but I cannot figure out how to reference notepad and its properties.

View 3 RepliesI searched around google for a couple of hours to see if I could find anything on what I wanted to do.
Needless to say, I didn't find much. Basically, what I want to do is, when my main form loads, I want to load another form that sticks to the desktop but is transparent (Opacity) except for the text I want in it.
The only thing I could find is how to reduce the opacity of the form. I don't want the form to have a border or be able to be moved around by the user. I still want the user to be able to put icons over it, but not mess with it. I also don't want it to show up on the task bar. Kind of like a background in it's own right.
I'm not even sure if a form is what I need to do this. I imagine that it can be done.
*Edit: I found an example of what I want, but I'm going to fill my form with different info [URl]..

View 1 RepliesI want to make it so when someone places the mouse cursor inside the form the opacity is 100% but when it leaves then it drops to 75%. This is my code:
Private Sub Form1_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseEnter
Me.Opacity = 100%
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseLeave
Me.Opacity = 75%
End Sub
The forms default value is 75% and it works fine when I mouse over. However when the mouse leaves the opacity doesn't drop. What am I doing wrong?
