Possible To Change Back Color Of A Form To Transparent?
Sep 11, 2010
Is it possible to change the back color of a form to transparent? I don't want to use transparent key. Because I want to put a semitransparent picture in a picture box and there is a big problem with transparent key. The semitransparent pixels show the transparent key color.
I am developing a small windows application(vb.net) in vs2005.I will have a grid view that will keep on refreshing for every 5 seconds.For that grid, I want to set a background image which I can do.But my problem is, while refreshing the grid image also get refreshed which make the form unpleasant to view. So, I try to make the grid backcolor as transparent so that I can utilize the form background image which will solve my problem. But I got the error message that, we can not set the grid back color to transparent. Is there any way to achieve this.
How could I can change de back color of multiple buttons (2700 aprox) depending on the results of my SQL Query i know how to doit one by one i just want to doit in another way
I need your help of a problem that is frustrating me I have a list view box and I want to change to full row select back colour I have already achieved this for list box but the settings are different this is what I am wanting to do for list view any help will be gratefully taken on board
i have form1 in vs2008, i would like to have a button where users can click it and the colorpicker pops up, like in photoshop or MSword where you select the text then pick the color.
if this it to complicated than i can have 4 radiobuttons that each one is accosiated wiht a color, is theree a way to make the radiobutton diferent color than white( NOT THE BACKGROUND COLOR)the circle inside.
is there a way i can change the entire DGV back color to something else (including those cells)i tried DataGridView3.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Indigo but that does not seem to work on the cells already colored. Im guessing this is because im only changing the default cell color?
My problem with my project so please help me about I am enclosing my project with problem very simple but I can't found. I am using text box and listbox last two textbox i.e. txtlani and maskedtextbox.
Now the problem is when the user put the data into above mentioned two text boxes for the selected item of the list box I want to change the back color and If the user wish to leave blank that two text boxes then no change at all in the list box selected item.
In short that if Textbox leave blank then no change in the selected item back color if in the Textbox have some value than selected item back color change.[code]....
I have been playing around with the "MouseDown" event and have gotten stuck. What I need is for when you click on a label (for instance), the back color will change, BUT I also want it to change to another color (back to its original) when nothing is clicking it. I can change the color with one mouse click, but when I release the mouse button, it stays the color it changed and doesn't revert back.
in vb.net. Main form is transparent and I added big picture box to hold background image. Then I added transparent panel to this form but now i can see my desktop trough that form. I don't wanna c my desktop or other windows. How can I avoid this without changing panel background color? coz I want same image as my panel bg too.
i tried to change back color of a label by command button by using a variable value
Private Sub Button3_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click Dim colorof As String colorof = "Color.Red"[code]....
but its giving error and is not working,
Label1.BackColor = Color.Red is working but I wanted to do this with variable value
I've tried adding a splash screen ]...to one of my applications and after exploring a while I somehow managed to get it working what bugs me now is that my splash screen is in fact a image inside a picture box and the form always shows the control color behind so what I tried is adding the form color to the transparency key this worked, somehow now, I use a png image that has some transparent effect also what I've noticed is that where I would want to show the transparent effect from the image the transparent color that is set in the forum shows below is the image to get my point of view:
I'm wondering if I can remove that "pink" color (set by me in the forum) from the image .I want to get a effect like the one Adobe products have for example
I have a form with transparent background (using png file).All controls placed over it becomes black at start then they change there color and comes to there original state on MouseHover. Its not the transparency keys problems since the transparency key color is different that controls back color. What can be the problem?
Question 1: i can't manage to get the back of a label to be transparent, so i can see an image underneath.
I have this
CODE:
And it isn't working...
Question 2: I have removed the border of the form, but want to have what is left (the main content) to be a particular shape. Is that possible or do i have to have it rectangular?
Well I'm trying to change the form color using a combo box. It seems easy, so I tried it. I just get errors. This is what i'm trying to do: Form1.BackColor = Color.Red But it fails and gives errors.
I have a code that takes the pink out of a image and makes it transperent. So its just the image no color around it. How do i make a shadow for that image like below to make it look like it has its own shadow?
i have a program were you import a image with a red back and the red disapeers and turns transparent using this code. But it uses a bitmap as a image holder and bitmap does not support transparacy. So i need a image bitmap so i dont know what else to do
