Transparent Listveiw Or Stretch Listview Background Image?
Apr 15, 2010
I 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.)
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?
I have inserted PNG image (transparent background) but it can't go to transparent. I want it to be front of other label but it's gray background hide the text what i have to do with this?
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?
with a triangle formed object and the rest of the image(background) are transparent... how do i make the transparent area not click able?my code how it is now>
Private Sub PictureBox2_MouseDown1(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox2.MouseDown 'code for picturebox not start an click event. only if the image will be clicked>>
Is it possible to give an image inside of a picture box a transparent background? Like, for example say i have a red circle on a white background, is it possible to make the white transparent?
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 ?
I'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 don't have code yet I was looking for an example to start from. This dialog box I am entering my data into has exactly what I want. I just want to be able to call the image in from my code when I want.....
In my project, I have a form with a background pic that I like, but unfortunately, I also have a ListView on that form which covers most of the picture. Now, is there a way to find the part of the background image concealed by the ListView, and then display it as a background image of the ListView at decreased opacity? You know, like a vague image.Just one more thing, setting the form's transparency key to the background color of the ListView is not an option.
I am trying to control the Stretch property of an Image object in VB (using Visual Studio 2008 if it matters.)Is there a way to do this with VB code?I have added the Presentation Framework reference to the project.I can create a variable to point to an image using dim imgName as Image = Image.fromfile("filename.jpg").After I declare the variable, I can imgName. and get a whole list of properties, but Stretch isn't there.
Im have a form and an image. Imagine the form's backcolor to be black and the image to be a landscape. When you resize the form the image is also resized and streched towars all directions. The point is that as you resize the form the image delays to be resized so the background which is black is showed.
I get how to stretch an image in the picturebox, that's easy. Now how to make sure it keeps that original ratio, so it's not distorted? Maybe it's as simple as a different setting on the picturebox? Maybe I am mistaken and want to use a different tool?
i'm creating 64 button dynamically during run time. and from database i'm getting the description, font color, back color and picture path. and if the picture path is not nothing, then i need to display that picture in that button. if picture path is nothing, then need to display the description as button text using font color and back color.
this button values are not loaded only once. using button click Addhandler, each button values keeps on changing each time.
The Code i used to display is
Code: For Each c As Control In Controls If c.Name = "ItemBtn-" & x Then c.Text = ButtonText
[Code].....
while i run the program, the image is diplaying in correct button if picture path exist and button that didn't have the picture path is displaying the text.
but the image is not fitting inside the Button. i can see only half of the image. i need a way to make the Image stretched or reduced to fit inside button.
We have a browser in a panel that gets resized programatically. Unfortunately when the panel is larger or smaller than the nominal size of the web page visited by the browser, we either get a clipped image, or a lot of blank area. We would like to force the browser page to stretch to fill the available space when we dock the browser in the panel.
I have a button with a backgroun image of color white. My button is sitting on the toolbar which has a bacground color of Blue. When the button is sitting on the toolbar, the button looks white, however I want it to look like blue as the the background color of toolbar is Blue.
I have a problem with 2 label, the background is not transparent, I set both BackColor = transparent, but nothing, they don't work. Both Label are located inside a panel, here is the picture so you can better understand:How can I do?
I 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.
how can I make my Form background color transparent?just the form those object/text are not included.
I watched this in yout*** like a month ago, i keep on searching but i cannot find.if you want to be happy, find something you love to do and do it for free, then find someone to pay you for it.
