Me again. I also have a png image and a web cam video in my form. I have transparent parts on the png image that show through to the form background colour.
How do I set it so it shows the video in the background, when I put the png image over the top of the video?
At the moment its still shows straight through to the back of the form?
Background of form: black
background of char, bombs and shrooms: transparent
picbox behind char, bombs and shrooms is regular (marioland)
How can i fix it so the transparent parts dont see form as background but marioland as background?
I 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 6 RepliesI am making an operating system based game in visual basic. The real problem is that the game runs full screen and when it comes to desktop backgrounds I am having heaps of problems.First I had the desktop as just the forms background image but I needed to add icons to the desktop so I anchered a listveiw onto the background and the problem is that the listview is not transparent and you can't see the desktop background.
I thought that I could fix that problem by setting the background image on the listveiw as the background image but the problem is when i set a background image on the listveiw there is no option to stetch the image. The only option is to tile the background image.
How can I get the listveiw either transparent or set it a stretched background. ( the user gets to choose a desktop background so they all need to be able to stretch to the full desktop of the user's screen resolution.)
Im displaying an image in a picturebox when i mouse over a button PictureBox1.Image = (My.Resources. Get_Info_icon) But when the mouse leaves the button how do i remove the image and have a transparent background, so u cant actually see the picturebox ?
View 1 RepliesI'm attempting to write a solution so that my user's can "watermark" their Images with their Company Logo. I've got the actual watermarking part done and working so now I'm creating the "upload logo" feature so that they can provide me with the Logo they wish to appear watermarked onto their Images.I'm using VB.NET and this will probably end up in a Web Service that accepts the Logo JPG file, and returns the "altered" Logo. What I need to happen in this Web Service is:
1) Gray-scale the image. Which I have working as well, thanks to this article.
2) Make the background transparent (so the logo looks clean when watermarked onto an image). This is where I'm stuck.
I think for the most part, any logos that are uploaded will have a generic white background but I can't assume that. Is there a way to somehow detect the background of an image or the background colors, so that I may make those colors transparent?So basically what I need is just a way to determine the background on an Image or even just the background colors so that I may make them transparent.
I try to achieve to paint a form with a gradient backcolor and overlap an image with transparency. This is possible? I want using a tile background image with transparent background and paint the background with a custom linear gradient.

I have an mp4 Video which I need to play as a "background" of my form. To do this, I'm currently using the WMP control. My problem: I can't add any controls on top of it, since they always render a background. Which looks ** on the video...
I'm trying to bring a transparent user control (being used as a drawing layer) to the front, over a page that will be playing video.Me.BringToFront() didn't seem to work, and when I tried Me.SetTopLevel(true) in the load, this gave me an InvalidOperationException. Here's what I have so far, sorry for the commented lines.. lots of trial and error (I'm very new, just an intern at the moment)[code]

View 2 RepliesI have been looking in a lot web site and forums trying to find the way to make my picturebox background transparent or catch whatever I drew on top of a transparent panel, let's explain it.
Case 1-) I trying to make an app, where the user can load onto the winform a word document(I have part this ready), then I put on top of the control where the doc. is loaded a transparent panel(this part is ready too) and the user can sing (on top the panel) then I need to get the user's draw(sing) and print it in the document.
Every time that I try to do it always I get everything that is within the panel area, then I just want the user's sing.
case 2-) I tried to use a picturebox then it works perfect, I can get just the user's sing and print it back in the document, but the problem is, I can't put a picturebox on top of the control where the doc. is loaded because then I can't see the doc.
If anybody wants to see the code to make the panel transparent, or catch whatever you draw on top the pictureBox.

View 3 RepliesI have a picturebox with a pic in it, and I have a label on top of the picture.
I want the background of the the label to be transparent, so I set it's background prop to transparent and it's parent to the picturebox. I do this on form load, but for some reason the label entirely disappears once the form loads?
I 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 3 RepliesI am trying to create a simple VB 2008 application with a resizable form that has a transparent background. 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.
View 16 RepliesI have an app that uses transparency so that the background of the app is a custom shape.The problem I am having is the rounded corners are jagged. Not a nice clean rounded corner like you would see on an icon or widget. I have tried several different image types (i.e. PNG, GIF, etc). But it seems when I use the transparency Key the quality on the edges gets worse
