My program can detect when Aero is present, but it has trouble when the user is in Aero Basic because it doesn't use the transparency or glass look. I am wondering if there is a call to the dwmapi that can tell me if the computer is using Aero Basic.
View 5 RepliesRendering Controls with Black Text on Glass in Visual Basic
View 7 RepliesI using the VistaControls control library (here) and I have a WebBrowser control that will have black in it on the form. When I set the background color to black in the HTML, the glass renders fine. So I added some text that is red, but it shows up as a transparent red. How do I get the text to be opaque?
Also, if I want to have black text in the HTML, how do I get that to show correctly?
Is using any control on Aero glass possible? If not, is using buttons, checkboxes, radiobuttons and some other common controls possible?

View 8 RepliesI can't figure out how it is possible to change the color for aero glass (which is blue by default).I want to change it to yellow (or brown) if the battery level (only for laptops of course) is low, to red when its critical. I have read a lot and was able to read the color (registry and api) and I was able to get notified when the color changes (wndproc) but there is no api call to set the color. I am able to set the registry key. That works, but requires a reboot, which is (in my case) not a solution. I have tried to simulate the wndproc message as broadcast, no result...What does the control panel applet do? If I change the color there it will be instantly applied, even the setting is not saved to the registry (which will be the best solution for my case). Programming language is vb9, vista is required by the application itself, so no other checks are required.

I'm trying to have Aero Glass look in my forms in VB.NET 2010 app with DWM API, but as function call suggests, it extends look of Frame to the client area, and if form has no border, nothing will happen and form will become invisible. So, can I get Aero glass in a form without any border.... ??
View 1 RepliesI've got an app that I'm writing that will have TextBoxes and Buttons on a glass form, much like what you'd see in Windows Explorer. I'm wondering how can I get the Textboxes' text to render properly on the glass? The text looks all messed up. I've tried a number of different ideas, but to avail.

I'm having trouble getting an naero glass code which works properly. I hav ecome across many in which anything black becomes aero aswell. Is it possible to have the black text unaffected by the aero like, change it so that another colour becomes aero instead?Also this is just an extra but can you change the colour of the aero you have? Like default is blue change you change it to like yellow, or black or another colour?
View 4 Replies1. I see some programs like babylon 9 that they create a Caption button with custom image.How to do that?
2. How to draw on caption bar on Vista and Xp ? It' not important for me the language,I know both VB and C#.
I found this question on StackOverflow. Basically, the user wanted to draw custom buttons on the titlebar. I tried the code and realised it works in vista/7 only when Aero is disabled. My question is, is there any way to draw custom buttons on the titlebar while aero is enabled? Any way of reading information from the current theme so I can style my buttons to match the already existing ones.
Here is a screenshot from my computer demonstrating the above concept. I got the additional titlebar buttons after installing DisplayFusion. And I know DisplayFusion is a .NET program because it opens in .NET Reflector. The down side is that the program is obfuscated. Not like I wanted to decompile the program or anything; I just want to add a button to my titlebar to do something else (like minimise to the system tray for instance).
Below is the screenshot, proving the program is a .NET app.

I was wondering how you can add text from a text box to a database (table in visual basic). I've been looking all over the web, and i haven't found anything.
View 1 RepliesI am working on a program for the Windows Mobile 6.0 system and using Visual Basic 08. I would like for the current txt file that I have, that is formatted as follows: "NOR400","277225","ZIMA 4/6 12OZ NR BOTTLES","07199077603",21.65,"cs",7.19,"pk","C4/6PK","12 OZ "
to be imported and each item in the line will be assigned to its own txt box. I have been able to load up the file, in to one txt box, but am unable to separate the items in to their own box. Should I be using arrays for this?
Ok, so I'm making a program that will read from a text file, convert each line into an array, the. Send each of those lines 1 per tick. This is in 2010 Visual Basic. Closest I've gotten is sending all at once, I worked on it over night and am slowly destroying it. Ideally, I want Button 1 click to populate the array from the file at LocationTB then start the timer. The timer should send a line at a time on the GapTB interval.
