How can i set the backcolor of my label to the same gradient color as my menustrip? I'm trying to put a checkbox on my menustrip but i want it to have the same backcolor as the menustrip.
The BackColor of the forms in Visual Studio are a light grey, called Control in the Properties panel. How would I set the BackColor property of a Label to this default color?
How can I change a form's backcolor to gradient one. The code (VB.Net) - e.Graphics.FillRectangle(New Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush(New PointF(Me.Width, 0), New PointF(Me.Width, Me.Height), Color.FromArgb(0, 58, 140), Color.FromArgb(0, 215, 255)), New RectangleF(0, 0, Me.Width, Me.Height)) 'fade from left to right
This code changes the form's background to a gradient one. It works fine. Now I want this to take place in an MDI form which will be a container for other forms. If I turn option IsContainer = False then it works but otherwise it does now. How can I change backcolor of MDI Form to a gradient one ?
i'm trying to place a label with "backcolor = color.transparent" over a progressbar, but it seems that the progressbar becomes transparent too, how can i avoid this?
Is there an effecient way to give one label the ForeColor, BackColor and Text of another one of 3 possible labels? I need to do this frequently for a dozen labels in a windows form.
I have a requirement to have a button filled with a gradient colour (red to green) & can't seem to find a way to do this.I am able to draw a rectangle & do a gradient fill, however I need the buttons backcolor property to have the gradient fill rather than a rectangle on top of the button.
I am making a gradient colored text tool for a game I play where they use a 3 digit number as an RGB color code before text. Making gradients by hand is tedious, as to do a gradient you type one letter at a time with an RGB code that changes by 1 in front of each letter. example: "^090H^190e^290l^390l^490o" Would be a color gradient for Hello
I have a user input text into a text box and choose up to 6 colors. The colors then are assigned RGB values, only instead of 0-255 they are 0-9. (So they look like this 000=black 999=white 090=green, etc.)
I have figured out how to do this, but now I need to place the RGB values in front of the users text while only changing one of the RGB numbers at a time.
So if the color values are 090 and 900: "090 190 290 390 490 590 690 790 890 990 980 970 960 950 940 930 920 910 900" is what I would like generated with the users text spaced evenly between.
I have no idea as to how I would go about putting three digit color codes between the users text or how to change the color codes one number at a time. I could try to do this on my own but it would be sloppy and probably a lot more code than needed (I have a feeling I should be using a loop or something like 'for each')... It's been awhile since I opened VB!
I have a grid containing rows flagged with different priorities. I want to color the high priority rows red, low ones blue, etc. I'd like to set the shade based on a mathmatically calculated gradient rather than arbitrarily assigning colors to specific priorities. How can I extract a single color from a single point along gradient?
I am wondering how to change the "highlight" or "selected" color of a menustrip control item. I have tried digging through the properties and have tried to set it programmatically using any method I could conjure up but to no avail.
I have a DGV with the Alternating row color set to grey.In the CellFormatting event on the DGV I want to go through the rows as if a cell contains a certain value I want to set the BackColor to red.However when I do this, it just gets overridden with the Alternating grey color. The cell in question in a normal colored row appears in red as expected, just not the alternating row.
How do i set the backcolor of the form to a rgb color via script, im making a theme tab, which changes the color, but i want the default color, and i have a custom color that is really close to it, but I dont know how to set to an rgb sadly. or i could use an alternitive by setting the background to the system color control, but I also dont know how to do that.This is what i have so far:
Private Sub NormalToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NormalToolStripMenuItem.Click
Simple question...is it possible to check the backcolor of an object, like a label for instance? What I want to do is check if a label's backcolor is green (or some other color) then have something else happen based off the color. Here is what I tryed, but neither worked...
what shall i do if i want to make a label's backcolor transparent or even just looking like transparent? VB.NET doesn't support transparent label backcolor.
I'm trying to change the existing 10 labels color on my form at runtime they are named this way (label1,label2,label3...label10) however i haven't bin able to successfully do it so far. Here is the code:

i want to blink any of the for labels if the back color is LimeGreen.Timer5 is enabled already and starts at form closing event of another for.so on the timer tick i have below code.
Dim time2 As Integer Private Sub Timer5_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer5.Tick If (time2 = 1) And Label17.BackColor = Color.LimeGreen Then Label17.SendToBack()
I have a question of VB event handler and color picker. Now I have a label, and I want when user click it, it pops up a color picker dialog and let user to change the background color of the label. Not sure how to implement this, can anyone give me a direction?
