View 3 RepliesI'm working on a Hazardous Materials label printing program. One of the options is to do an "NFPA" label. Since there are 4 values required with 4 or 6 options, the ratings are entered via radio buttons in a group box. That's working okay. I display values in the NFPA diamond as they're entered: left quadrant blue, top quadrant red, left yellow, bottom red. I'm having trouble with the label in which the rating will be displayed on top of a jpg diamond for the white. In this quadrant the text can be up to 4 characters. I can accept the text going into an adjacent block a little, but the corners of the label overlap into another quadrant/color. I reduced the font size which solved the overlap problem but the font is then too small and looks terrible. I tried to make the background of the label transparent to let the color come through correctly but that's not a valid value for label.background. I'm figuring that the transparent background is the best solution. What can I use that will accept a transparent background so the color shows through?
I'm trying to set the transparent property via label properties properties, not via code. Here's the code if it makes any difference:
Public Class NFPA
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Close()
End Sub

View 6 RepliesTrying to set the BackColor of a groupbox to be transparent, but it makes it the Form's color (Control).

I want to use a PictureBox2 (pic.png) above PictureBox1 (pic.jpg) on VB I used this code:
PictureBox2.BackColor = Color.Transparent
PictureBox2.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.None
but it doesn't work
it makes the border black & white
I can make the background color of the form transparent by using: "Me.TransparencyKey = Me.BackColor"
"Me.BackColor" is set to default "Control", which I think uses 240;240;240 as the color.But using that color as the transparent mask color leaves gaps in controls who are also using that color.By changing the Me.BackColor to a "rare" color this problem is fixed.What problem really is, is that using the "Control" color I get the ability to ALSO interact with whatever is behind my form, which any other custom color does NOT.
Question: Why is this?
Request: I would like to use a custom color as the transparent color but KEEP the ability to interact with whatever is behind the form, how can I make it do that?
I am in thinking about building a small app. Its indended to be a screen grabber with a difference.The window form is see through by setting the Transparancy and BG properties to equivalant values. The TopMost property of the form is set to true.The concept is that the form is placed over the area of the screen that you would like to capture. As the form is see-through you can adjust the form around the area you would like to capture.Once you have done that, its just a matter of click a toolbar button eigther save it to file or copy to the clipbaord and placed in an image array.
Tipicaly it should have some of the functioning of a digital camera which at your lesure allows to view images seperatly in the array and deside wether to keep them or delete them.What would be the best control to use as the capture control? ie. The form itself or an Picturebox that is also seethrough?If the image carn't be crabbed that way, then it should be possible to read the coordinates of the PictureBox (top,left,width and heigh) relative to the underlying image on the underlying app. Than once the coordinates are known it should be possible to copy that rectangle of the screen?

View 4 RepliesI 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 1 RepliesI 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?
