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).
View 3 RepliesI'm looking to draw a trackbar normal, only with a transparent background. I have created a new class that supports transparent backgrounds set to true. Without using userpaint, the trackbar does nothing or takes the color of it's parent. When using userpaint I have to draw the control on mine own. Not quite sure where to start first though...
I've read about drawing a line (not so hard), drawing a floating object (to act as marker), and handling events on when the floating object moves left/right... Drawing 3 separate objects inside an inherited trackbar control seems like a clunky way of calling methods that should exist somewhere? Is there an easier way to draw the control normal without a background? If not, some in starting to implement all 3 new objects working together would be good (I could draw them separately but that's about it).
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."
View 9 RepliesI 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.

View 1 RepliesI 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?

View 3 RepliesMe 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

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.
