Text In The Textbox Is Becoming Transparent?
Mar 20, 2011
It's been a while since I've had a VB issue, but every so often one pops up. Today I'm trying to add a textbox to a form which has aero glass on it. The problem is that the text in the textbox is becoming transparent. Here's an image of what happens when I debug my project:
I have looked into lots of articles on CodeProject, etc. But none of them seem to adress this issue (some let you paint labels to aero-glassed areas, but there are none which I can find which can deal with textboxes or comboboxes. how I could make sure that the text on the textbox is always black no matter what is behind the aero glass. I know it's possible because of IE8.
I've looked into the Control.Paint event, but I'm not sure how I could make sure that the text color is always black. Putting my textbox inside another control (say a Panel) does not prevent the transparent effect from happening.

Is it possible to make a TextBox transparent?
I have a form that has a gradient background and I need the textbox to allow the user to type into and it shows the text and the blinking cursor carrot when it has focus, other than that it's totally transparent, like a label.

How to create a transparent background over textbox?

I've been wanting to create a look like the attached jpeg Ive been looking around for a few hours for a solution to make text boxes transparent or have a background image. I've found a few projects on this form and elsewhere which include transparent text boxes, but every time I try to use it the way I need to--with the text box over a picture box--there are always various rendering errors. Most of the time, the text box is transparent if its just placed on the form (not over any other controls). But when I place them over other controls (like picture boxes), the 'transparent background' always take on the color of the form background.
This is one that I was trying to use. I found a few others around, but they all had the same render errors more or less.[URL]...I figured transparency or background images would have been supported natively. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe I missed something in my searches. I didn't really see anything which adds background images in text boxes (rich or otherwise). At this point, I'd just like anything that works, so it doesn't really need to have transparency--just a simple background image would be great.

I'm trying to evade the problem of being unable to have a transparent textbox by using a label. When the label is selected, it selects the info in a textbox elsewhere. Then using Textbox.changed, i stream the text to the label. Maybe the code will make sense:
Private Sub UserLabelClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles UserLabel.Click
UserTB.SelectAll()
End Sub
[code]....
But the text is not selected and therefore cannot be changed.

I've successfully used DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea from dwmapi.dll. It adds glass to about 40 pixels down from the top, and 40 pixels up from the bottom. I can put a button on the glass and either set it's background color to transparent or it's UseCompatibleTextRendering = True so that is displays correctly on the glass (the middle part of the form is a regular form, I can put controls there fine). Now, here's my problem... I want to put a search text box at the top right hand section of the form on the glass (similiar to IE and other wizard like glass forms that have search boxes integrated). Also, this is a WinForm.
The problem:The glass effect causes any text in the text box to be transparent, I need to know how to get around it so the text box is always opaque.
What I've tried:
1.) Manually drawing the transparent color over the form in the Paint event, skipping the section where the text box is located (doesn't work).
2.) Change the color of the text in the text box so it's not black (since black triggers the glass effect). I couldn't get the glass to work at all with any color other than black (even when I set the form's transparcy key to another color).
3.) I've read and followed every FAQ / instruction list I could get my hands on to no avail (most were from 2006 before Vista in production).
4.) I've looked with UI Spy at the text box in the IE glass section, and that text box has a background color of transparent (which I tried and the .Net textbox/richtextbox don't allow you to set a background color of transparent)
I've read that you can create a custom control and custom draw it to be opaque, but I'm not sure where to start with that (I can make custom controls, but as per drawing them myself I need a little direction).

I want to draw a text with 32 bit transparency on a graphics object. When I try, I only get black color in the result.
If I try to draw a line with the same semitransparent color, it works perfectly.
I have this code:
lBitmap As New Bitmap(32, 32, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb)
lGraphic As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(lBitmap)
lGraphic.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality
[Code]...
I was thinking it may be that SolidBrush does not support transparency, but I found a predefined brush named Transparent (Brushes.Transparent) that was a SolidBrush when I looked at it in debug. I tried to use Brushes.Transparent as the brush when drawing the text, and it was successfully not showing at all. That means I get full transparency to work, but not partial transparency.

after many weeks of annoying compatibility with windows xp, I realized that I should change the .netbar buttons to standard windows buttons. When I did this, and put the button on the transparency area and then debugged the application. I found out that the transparency add-in made the text inside the button transparent: How can I make the text show just the color, not transparent?
