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
When i run my code, the picture box has a background colour, even though I have set the background colour to transparent in the properties window.
View 1 Repliesi got a large picture box sent to the back with a default image.i got a few picture boxes set to transparent and they are placed in front of that large picture box. these picture boxes have no images, just set to transparent in the properties.
I use the mousehover event on those picture boxes so when one is hovered over, it will change the image of the large picture box which is behind it.the problem is that even though those picture boxes in front have been set to transparent, when the large picture box behind them loaps a new image due to an event, it doesnt show through those picture boxes which are in front of it!
i'm back with even more problems on my project. as you remember i'm trying to extract from the picture the percentage of white color. the code so far is in previous posts, but there are two things that concern me:a) the transparent pixelsb) the opacity (the a element in rgba)

I am trying to make a program that can open pictures in its own PictureBox. I have the form already made, and I had it working with a combobox with the list of all the different pictures, a button to load the picture depending on the selected item in the
combobox (MANY MANY if statements), and i also added a previous and next image pair of buttons (200% more if statements). I was happy with it, except whenever I added a new picture I had to add many lines of code... So i figured i can use this openfiledialog
and open them that way.
what i have so far is when i press "btnLoad" it opens the "ofdPictures" {openfiledialog}
what i need it to do is when i select my picture and press "open", it open the image in the picture box "picPictures", which is in my form.from what i understand with playing around with openfiledialog in VB is that the command this->ofdPictures->FileName
makes the selected file a string... but i think i have to make it = a string variable...
now, i think i fixed that by adding to "private: System::Void ofdPictures_FileOk"

View 6 RepliesI've been trying to make a grid to test some AI stuff I'm working on. I managed to do it using rectangles and graphics.rectangle (pens.black, rect) by using a vid on youtube, but it made the application virtually useless because of all the memory it was using. I don't need it to be an actual grid, but I do need it to have values as if it was a grid, so that I can issue commands (x,y coords). (I have been searching the forums for over an hour, but all examples are either useless or cant be converted correctly).

I'm making an application where a user draws a shape on a picture box( this will be saved on a bitmap image), then another user has to draw on that shape (=follow it ) . if the 2nd user goes too far from the line then an error message will appear.
for example( in case i couldn't clarify this well!)the 1st user draws a a vertical line, the 2nd user has to follow it, if-while drawing on it- he gets too far horizontally, there would be the error.
I'm currently thinking of comparing every point by the 2nd user to its equivalent in an array containing the points by the first user.

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.

View 1 RepliesI'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

View 2 RepliesI 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.

View 4 RepliesIve been programming in VB6 for years, i figured its time for an upgrade. Here's what im doing, and what the problem is:
Im loading a bunch of pictures on top of one image. They are all PNG files, and some of the images have transparent edges, and some semi-transparency within the image itself.
So basically, i need to be able to load these images on top of the other images, and still maintain the transparency.
Is this possible in VB08? This is one of the main reasons i moved to 08 from vb6, more things possible including multithreading.
I'm a huge music person (got my own lil record thing going) but I'm wanting to design a program that would make music in my way. I have a decent amount of background knowlege of Visual Basic and Java I'm just wondering how could I execute this whole project. The Project is making a MPC Sampler. MPC is a drum machine; a machine with buttons that once you press it that it will play a sound from a drum (ex: snare, kick, tom, ect.) . So I would want to make some pads on my program that each have their own sound. Total of 16 pads. Which the design wouldn't be hard to make nor would the functionality of it having the play back sound (in my opinoin it wouldn't be hard atleast). But the thing is I wanna map out these pads to number keys on the number pad or keyboard. I'm not so sure how to do that. But that's all the easy stuff...
Also finding information is making a sound directory. What I mean by this is that I want to make a User Interface that will open up a file directory of sounds and the user can select what "kick" or "snare" sound he may want for the kick or snare pad. I don't know how to do that or even know what to search; neverless I don't know if this whole project idea is a good idea for Visual Basic or another programing language.
Also LATER ON I am wanting to add a record and export function that alows users to..well...record and export their beat or instrumental ha. That doesn't seem too too complex (mainly due to the fact that all it needs to do is record the users key strokes and then show them and play the sounds, but obviously it would get more complex than that.)
Here is an image of one of many MPCs but one with a directory - [URL]
