View 11 Replieshow I could make a custom form, by setting the FormBorderStyle to None, and making it transpatent without setting the TransparencyKey to a color...
Because when you set the TransparencyKey property to, let's say 121; 121; 121, and it got a button which got the same color on the ForeColor, and then it disapears...
Here's an example of how it looks like when the form is transparent:

View 2 RepliesI have a combobox on an Excel worksheet that I can tab into, then pick my data (located on another worksheet) after activating the "arrow". But the tab or enter key does not allow me to navigate away from the cell after it is populated. The only action that allows the user to move to another cell is by mouse/click to another cell. I am trying to make navigation through though worksheet as user friendly as possible.I can't seem to find any sample code that will take the focus away from that cell using Tab or Enter.
I have no problem with ListBoxes created using the Data Validation method but I have to create a ComboBox control on the active worksheet in order to return the data chosen (in this case a code that corresponds to a description). If this was a Form I wouldn't have any problem as the properties would allow me to set that up, but this is essentially a spreadsheet I've inherited and the current users do not want to go to a Data Entry Form.

View 5 RepliesI have a program that has two list boxes. I want to have the user right click either listbox and remove an item using the context menu option. I have tried to use GetChildAtPoint (control.mouseposition) but I cannot return a control the mouse is over.

Someone please explain this to me like you would to a complete idiot.I want to make a shaped form according to an image.The transparency key only works under 16 bit graphics and we all work on 32bit. Then the entire background shows.The clipping is also very un-neat.So how do you shape a form neatly according to an image WITHOUT using transparency key so it will work in all graphic modes?
View 5 RepliesI have a custom shaped form with a transparency key of black. With the opacity set to 100%, I do not see the garbage around my custom shaped form As soon as I change the opacity, I see a transparent square(my borderless form) around my form.
How do I make it where my form retains its custom shape, and can have an opacity of less than 100%?
If you want something you've never had, you need to do something you've never done.
I use a lot of picture box, label, and custom controls, all of which are oddly-shaped, and must overlap. In almost all cases, the backgrounds are not solid colored.I am using transparent .png images for the background images of many of these controls (except labels), and using transparent as the backcolor, creating a custom shaped control. However, when these controls overlap, the one towards the front will not show any controls behind it through the "transparent" background. This is getting annoying, because I cannot use any alternate object arrangements.How do I create true custom-shaped forms?
P.S. Some of my controls have extremely irregular shapes, so using simple line and curve drawing functions is probably not an option.

Is there a way in vs2010 (vb.net) to create a form that has alpha transparency support?
And
How do i get a form similar to the splash screen in vs2010 AKA odd shaped and alpha drop shadowed?
I have need for a customised form as the main page of my app, what I'm looking for is to create an amoebic shaped form, something like this. I realize that my 'window' will by nature need to be rectangular and that i will need it to have no titlebar and transparent edges, also i will need to have 'regions' on this form that will allow the form to be closed and turned into a standard rectangular form. I have no idea where to begin with doing this but I hope and presume it is possible with vb.net. The image I have used is for illustrative purposes only, i don't plan to do exactly this (my app is a database not a media player for one thing) If having it is a breach of copyright in this context I will remove it.
View 39 RepliesI'm trying to make the move from VB6 to .Net; I know Bill needs the money, but my real motivation is to move my VB6 client-server app to .Net before Bill finishes killing off VB6. My VB6 app uses SQL Server 2005 Database, ADO, and heavy inline queries and some stored procedures. I'm weak on oop, but willing to go there.
My biggest concern so far is not being able to fully use my database w/o extensive redefining.I think Bill went oop crazy and forgot why we use databases. I wanted to bind all objects in my code, but coding the work of the wizards is not coming easy for me. My qt pertains to using ADO.Net or LINQ for database access. I'm going to have to put in a lot of book hours either way, but which way should I go for a client server app? I read that Bill is handing off the LINQ to the ADO.Net team. Is LINQ the future for client server or is it a dead-end?

its supposed to be your basic grab screenshot and stash it into picturebox thing but it isnt working, i did manage to copy a picture from 1 box to another tho which makes me think the second line is wrong or missing something?
I found a good sample Here, but I have a few problems with it. 1. It is not placing the control to the correct position where the mouse left off becase the control is a big one.It could be pushed out of the screen.. I want it should stay within the screen boundaries.

The problem is, is that this code just moves label1. What I need it to do is to move whatever label is selected. The user could create an infinite amount of labels and I do not want to repeat the above code an infinite number of times. Is there a way to make the label selectable, and if it is selected, it uses that name in replace of label1?
