View 9 RepliesI 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.

View 3 RepliesIs it possible to set the opacity of controls separate from the opacity of the main form window? What I want is to be able to set the form window and labels as "see through" (but not invisible) while keeping the data fields fully visible or mostly visible.
For example, form background and labels at 50% opacity and comboboxes and listboxes at 90% opacity.

I 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]..
Is there anyway of reducing the opacity of a form to 80% but at the same time have my buttons and text boxes to remain unhindered at 100%? When I reduce the opacity of the from the opacity of the text boxes reduce as well. How could I stop this from happening

If you want something you've never had, you need to do something you've never done.
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.
View 2 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?
