View 6 RepliesTransparent Form But Controls Visible?
Feb 16, 2012I am having trouble finding a way to make the form transparent but the controls still visible. The only transparency I have been able to get to work on the form is
Me.Opacity = <value between 0 and 1>
but that affects all the controls on the form Is there a way to make the controls not inherit this property from the form? Is there another way to make the form transparent? I have buttons and a checkbox that I don't want to be affected by the transparency at all, and a picturebox that I do want to be able to control the level of transparency. Currently, I'm using a slider bar, and controlling the opacity of the form, but that makes everything on the form transparent. I'd actually like for the form itself to be completely invisible, and for my slider bar to control the opacity of the picturebox only.

View 9 RepliesTransparent Controls Over Form With Background Image Shows Backcolor Not Image?
Sep 18, 2009I can't remember exactly if this is possible or not but what I am attempting I would think should theoretically be possible. I know it is possible in WPF but the company I am working for doesn't want to make the transition just yet. Basically what I want is to use a background image on a form for the background and I have a docked control on the right and left. I have set the background on both of these docked controls to transparent however it is showing the back color rather than the background image. I tried, rather than setting the background image property, to override the onpaintbackground and onpaint events and use e.graphics.draw(picture, me.clientrectangle) but it still seems to just pick up the backcolor as the true transparent background so I'm wondering if it's possible to get it to show the background image through the control rather than the backcolor of the form?
View 3 RepliesIs There Another Attribute That Controls If A Background Can Be Transparent?
Feb 16, 2010I 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 6 RepliesSemi-Transparent Child Form (or Other Semi-transparent Layer) Within A Form?
Dec 16, 2011I'm trying to draw a semi-transparent layer over my entire form when certain events occur, with a prompt in front of this semi-transparent layer (similar to the effect in Windows Vista/7 with UAC enabled)At first I was trying to use a custom semi-transparent panel, but this didn't seem to work at all. As such I'm now trying to use a child form within the form using the opacity property on the form. However, when this semi-transparent form is added to the controls of the main form and displayed, it loses it's transparency.I've got a hacky work around at the moment where the semi-transparent layer isn't actually a component within the main form, and the transparency works then, but obviously this isn't ideal and could potentially cause various issues further down the line.

View 5 RepliesUse Graphics.CopyFromScreen To Enable Alpha Transparent Controls?
Jun 27, 2012I am trying to use (and this may be my problem already) e.Graphics.CopyFromScreen() in the OnPaint() method of my control to prepare a background onto which I can draw the content of the control. The goal is a tool-tip with rounded corners and other specific features to replace the default Windows tool tip.
Ideally the tool tip could be antialiased and blended into the backdrop, however at a pinch I could tolerate an aliased boundary. This may also be necessary as the control will often be covering a control with an OpenGL overlay and the whole blending procedure may end up a nightmare.
I have created a custom user control, a persistent instance of which belonds to my applications's main form, overriding the OnPaint and OnPaintBackground methods. The application of transparency however is challenging. As I understand, the graphics object passed to the paint method starts with a copy of the current VisibleClipBounds, where generally the first move is to clear the control with a solid colour and start drawing the main features. My first thought was to bypass the fill and start drawing on the captured background. For the first redraw this works fine, but subsequent redraws keep the previous content instead of re-capturing the backdrop. I hoped that CopyFromScreen would specifically eliminate the currently drawing control from its capture so as to start from a clean base but this is not the case, it captures the rectangle of the new location including the image of the previous location if it is in the bounds.

View 1 RepliesCan't See Underlying Controls Through "transparent" B?
Oct 5, 2011Ugh the graphics of my programs give me more trouble than functionality... Okay, I have a borderless form with its transparency key set to its background color. I have a richtextbox a little smaller than the form clinging to the bottom left corner of the form.At the top right corner of the RTB, I have an overlapping button control that's clinging to the top right edge of the form (it's overlapping the top right corner of the RTB.) The image I have selected for the button is a circle, so I changed the flatstyle to flat, made the border 0, made the mouseover and mousedown background colors transparent, and of course made the control's background color transparent.

View 1 RepliesC# - Display Form As Partially Transparent?
Dec 9, 2010I have a transparent layer on the top of a form. I need to display only some part of that transparent form.
-edited- If you think of a map and traffic signal icons displaying on the map. There are a map image layer and a traffic signal icons layer, which is tranparent except icons. if you move the map location, the traffic signal icons should move along with. if the certain area of map does not appear on the screen by moving, corresponding traffic signal icnos should disappear as well. This is what I am trying to do here. Moving the trasparent form is straightforward, but I need to hide some portion of that transparent form.

[Traffic sig] here I need to show "fic s" part only.
This is for a very small image.

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.
