I have some white text I am putting over a very light background. Is there anyway to outline the text in black? After some googling it looks like there are some pretty complicated solutions, but I am looking for something like a check box that says "outline". Is there such a beast?

I used my forms TransparencyKey property to make the form background invisible, but to keep the controls 100% visible. But, when I add a label onto the form, a border or outline shows up around the text (doesn't matter which color I do it with). My friend says that this isn't fixable and he said that it doesn't happen in VB6. I'm tempted to remake the project in VB6, but Windows 7 is being released soon and compatibility is a must.
What about C#? Does the issue occur as well? If not I'll just go with that.
On the main form of my application, I have a Rich Text Box which is where the user will be entering information. The text is black. then, i have a button which calls the dialogue "Notes" A dialogue appears, with a rich text box. the user should then be able to enter text into the box, click "OK", and the text entered into the Notes dialogue be inserted to the rich text box on the main form -- with the font colour "Red". The rest of the text in the main rich text box on the main form should remain black.
View 2 RepliesOn my login form I have a username text box and a password text box...
The TxtUsername text box is preset with the following:
Text: Username
Colour: Gray
Here is the code for the TxtUsername (on click):
Private Sub TxtUsername_Click
TxtUsername.Text = ""
TxtUsername.ForeColor = Color.Black
(So it's like the facebook login if your familiar with it)When user clicks the text box, the gray text already inside gets erased and user is able to type with black text.The problem is that even when the user has typed in the box, every time you click the text box the text still gets erased....It's like the code should be something like If TxtUsername.Text = Anything but "Username" then dont change it to ""

View 7 RepliesIn Treeview control, I have made particular node backcolor as black to hide text. But it does not work properly. On click of that particular node, it displays text eventhough when I set BackColor as Black. Is there anyway to hide the text in Scenario also. I don't want to actually remove the text from that node as I have done lot of coding by checking node text.
View 5 RepliesI am trying to make a calculator program. I would like the display(text box) to have a white background, with black font. So I set the "enabled" property of the textbox to "false"(because I want it to display, not receive input) and then choose the background colour to be white. In the form designer, the text colour is black, which is what I want.But when I start debugging, the text becomes the colour of the form. How can I make the font black?
View 3 RepliesI have a custom-shaped form created by setting the Region to an image. I want to be able to highlight the edge of the form when it has focus. To do this I believe I need to get the outline of the form and convert it to a path so I can draw a two-pixel highlightaround the edge of the form.

(1) Is this the correct approach?
(2) If so, how do I get the outline of the region so I can call DrawPath?
The Visual developer express outline provides hide/plus-minus signs throughout the HTML code, and it does this for Class's, but not for my subroutines in an ASPX file.Is there a way for it to do this, so I can reduce subroutines I'm not working on at the moment? I know I can highlight areas and hide, but it's kind of clunky to do quickly through many subroutines if I have 2k lines and a hundred subroutines.

View 1 RepliesI want to code in our VB.net to be a little easier to follow both to improve readability and also make it a lot easier to know the best place to put a new bit of code/feature.
Essentially, I'd like to have a 10,000 foot "outline" of the code" with hyperlinks from the outline to the code.
It needs to be portable, so BookMarks won't do the trick (I think). I'm thinking maybe TODO comments. I'd like to create our own Todo style comment like "Outline" or something but that keyword would need to be in the config file for VS as well (but then it's just one thing to keep sync'd).[code]...
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 Replies[URL] That way if the string that is not recognised that is passed to Color.FromName it returns a SolidColor of

The codes in the .cs files are all in black. For example the usual blue text keywords appear in black. Could this be to do with the intellisense not working either?
View 1 RepliesI'm currently making a huge project. So huge it is split into four separate applications. I want the form to fade to black once the user logs on and only fade up when the new program has fully loaded. I've tried various methods, such as having the second program write to a file on the C: drive, then have the first program wait until that file exists to fade out.Is there a more efficient way? My method isn't working... the form will fade to black, but you get a glimpse of the desktop just before the new program launches (both are full screen apps btw)

I have a window that opens another window. The opening time of the second window is quit long because the application needs to build a complex interface. The annoying thing is that if the user clicks on the first window this become black as death! Is there a way to prevent this annoying behaviour?

View 6 RepliesI am trying to make everything in my image black that is not white. I am having a little trouble doing so though.
[Code]...
I have a little piece of code which saves a certain Bitmap to a JPG image. The Bitmap is "composed like this" ( Ppiechart is a picturebox):[code]So After it is declared I start to do some drawing on this bitmap. And then I want to save it like this:[code]So this saves the image. But the problem is that the background of the image turns black when I open the file on my PC.The background of the Bitmap in the program itself is white. So does anybody have an idea what may cause this? Do I have to declare a color for the "mybitmap"?
View 4 RepliesProvided the following
vb.net Private Function isBlue(ByVal aRGB As Color) As Integer
If aRGB.R < 30 And aRGB.G < 30 And aRGB.B > 170 Then
[CODE]....
I use it with the following:
vb.net Dim count As Integer = 0
Dim img3 As New Bitmap(DirectCast(CameraTable.Controls("camera" & z.ToString), PictureBox).Image)
For x As Integer = 10 To 16
Works great. Takes a small square and tests for the blue color indicated by the aRGB value.
What I am trying to do now is test for all Black (as opposed to blue). I want to copy that isBlue Sub to a "isBlack" Sub and perform a like test, but I do not know what to use for this part:
If aRGB.R < 30 And aRGB.G < 30 And aRGB.B > 170 Then explain those values and what changes to each one does?
I've edited the code some:
vb.net Dim bluepixels As Integer = 0
Dim blackpixels As Integer = 0
Dim img3 As New Bitmap(DirectCast(CameraTable.Controls("camera" & z.ToString), PictureBox).Image)
[CODE]...
And in the sub I am testing for an R, G, and B value less than 3 (black should be all 0's) I'm still interested in how to manipulate those RGB values to test for other colors, or very specific hex colors.
i need a windows program (on visual basic express) to convert a list of images to black and white. then to send it to a microcontroller via ethernet. i dont know anything about vb at the moment so simple explanations and code would be great. in the meantime i will try learning vb. but i need this program quick.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to draw a black border around a ToolStripButton. This is the code I am using and it only draws the border on 2 sides. Dim clrMenuBorder As Color = Color.Black Dim borderPen As New Pen(clrMenuBorder)
Dim rect1 As New Rectangle(0, 0, e.ToolStrip.Width, e.ToolStrip.Height)
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(borderPen, rect1)
My goal is to iterate through each pixel determining whether it is black or white. Ideally I want to do this one row at a time (so I can count the number of black pixels in each row). This is a bitonal image.I tried to get it started, but I don't understand what value(s) I'm supposed to be polling for. The following code takes a stab at it (i.e. makes a guess as to what value I'm supposed to check) and then outputs that value to a textfile.When I read the textfile, though, it doesn't look like anything useful.This code is an attempted modification of some code found in a CodeProject article.[code]
