I have code for make the usercontrol transparent:
Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property CreateParams() As CreateParams
Get
Dim cp As CreateParams = MyBase.CreateParams
cp.ExStyle = cp.ExStyle Or &H20
'WS_EX_TRANSPARENT
[Code] ......
These code shows the usercontrol transparent. But when the control moves I see that these control needs time to be transparent or drawing an image. Why so many time(maybe 2 seconds)? And why I can't use directions keys on keydown event? (The arrow keys are ignored).
I'm trying to make a label control transparent over a Panel control.However by setting the background colour of the label to Transparent, it actually sees right through to the form itself, not the panel as intended.
As an example we use a panel with a background as white, we make the label transparent, however it gets the form�s colour as blue.However, we are using a custom panel control and need the label to be transparent over the panel and not see the forms background.

I did some research on how to make transparent User Control, The suggested code was like this:
Private Sub New()
' This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.
Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, True)
Me.BackColor = Color.Transparent
UpdateStyles()
End Sub
When I build the project, there is no errors. But, When I try to load my user control using the "Choose ToolBox Items" dialog, it gives me the following error message:
"There is no components in [dll path] that can be placed on the toolbox."
is it possible to make one picturebox transparent, so you see the picturebox' picture underneath it?
View 2 RepliesI have a little "designing" problem in VB 2010. So, I made a cool abstract background for my application in Photoshop. And I wanted to make the form transparent and BorderLess. But, in order to imitate Windows, I also had to put in a very small black outer glow. So, I made the BackColor in a DarkGreen, then the same for the TranksparencyKey. BUT, because of the outer glow, now it looks like this:

I know you can make certain parts of a form transparent by setting the transparencyKey of the form to the color of your choice.
vb.net
Me.MdiParent.TransparencyKey = Color.Fuchsia
Me.BackColor = Color.Fuchsia
Once I set the form to be a MDI Container, it seems to just ignore that function.
On my MDI Container form I have a menu and that is the only thing I want displayed. I want the container itself to be transparent. The forms that get loaded into the mdicontainer will be shown normal.

The initial image is Transparent, however, once you create another image very close to it, there is a "box" around it. That "box" is what I am trying to get rid of. I have no clue on how to get rid of it. Yes, I have made the image itself, transparent, as the initial image is transparent. Just any image that makes contact with the other images show the "box".

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.
I searched the forums and most of the topics involving this seem to be for Compact Framework. I need a transparent text label which shows an object directly beneath it. In this case, a rectangle. (Visual Studio 2010) I noticed that when I set the label background to transparent it shows the form bg instead of anything between the label and the form. How can I work around this without setting my form background to an image? If I were to make a custom control for it, how would that be achieved?

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.
