Most Efficient Method To See If Alpha Channel Is Used In A 32 Bit Bitmap?
Mar 18, 2011url...But what I'm looking for is just see if any alpha (0-254) is used in at least one of the pixels. Would the Bitmap.Lockbits and BitmapData method be the most efficient (speedy?) or is there another way. I've tried toying around with ColorPalette and the Alpha flag, but never could figure it out (and even if it is a way to check to see if the alpha channel is used at all).

Extraxct A Rectangle Bitmap From A Big Bitmap?
May 26, 2011Here is a short program to demonstrate my question. I just want to extraxct a rectangle bitmap from a big bitmap.Code as follows:
Private
Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender
As System.Object,[code]....
Execution stops when hitting the Dim cloneBitmap statement, which should have created a bitmap out of the rectangle cut out.The message is:
"MissingMemeberException was unhandled.
No default member was found for type 'bitmap"
I just don't get it. Seems that the method Clone(Rectangle, PixelFormat was not found.

Get Alpha Value From ARGB?

View 4 RepliesPer-Pixel Alpha Transparency?
Nov 17, 2011I'm trying to create a program using Visual Basic .NET 2010 that alters the use of my media keys - Volume up, Volume down, Play, etc. All of the example I have found don't seem to compile quite correctly in 2010. Don't get me wrong they run fine and look exactly as specified but the problem is that the form cannot be edited because it claims the designer code is ill-formatted or something along the lines of that.
Can anybody possibly spare a project or form that has perpixel alpha transperancy?The only thing i want to do is show an overlayed png that has an alpha channel, on the desktop. The form border style will most certainly be "NoBorder"
Red Color Of One Image To The Alpha Value Of The Second?
Jun 30, 2009I am trying to create a function that would take 2 images. 1 of the images is a grayscale image and the other is a normal image. What i want to do is apply any of the R or G or B of the grayscale image (in grayscale image r=g=b so it makes no difference) to the Alpha of the second image. i DID succeed on it. However the code is EXTREMELY slow. It takes 1 second to perform it. And i have to perform the function atleast 30 times a second (it will be outputting to a Decklink card). Here is the code:
public function createOverlay(ByVal Main as Bitmap, ByVal Key as Bitmap) as Bitmap
For index as integer =0 To (Key.Width*Key.Height)-1
Dim crntX= index Mod(Key.Width)
[code].....
This function will have to run infinitley until the user presses stop and keep updating the output buffer. How can i make it faster? ( i need at least 30 executions per second)
Support For Alpha Transparency?
May 2, 2010I would like to drop a few buttons onto a picture box or a container control that has a background image set.
I would like to have the button's image be an alpha PNG file.
I can manage the mouse over and click such that the button behaves exactly as one does on a web page.
I struggled with it in vb.net 2005 with no luck. If you take a PictureBox and lay it on top of another PictureBox, and set its images to alpha PNG's, and its background to transparent, then the form shows up in the alpha blend, not the other picture box.
And if i accept that i am limited to the background of the form, then it's performance then becomes unacceptable.Since i can Graphics.DrawImage onto a PictureBox's image fast, i assume that the folks at Microsoft must have decided to use the form's background (and slow painting, and not the other controls and the z-order), by design. I cannot for the life of me figure out why they have made that choice.
So my question is this:Does vb.net 2010 support the layering of controls that supports alpha transparency, and can we now create a custom-control with a transparent background?

View 1 RepliesAlpha On ListViewItem ForeColor / BackColor?
May 25, 2009I've been tingling with the colors of listviewitems.For the most part, they work great, but I can't set alpha:
Me.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(100, 40, 40, 40)
Me.ForeColor = Color.FromArgb(1, 255, 255, 255)
Me.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(100, 40, 40, 40)
Me.ForeColor = Color.FromArgb(100, 255, 255, 255)
The result of any of these two lines is exactly the same ( no change in alpha ). The colors take ok though.

View 1 RepliesPixel Multiply Blending With Alpha?
Aug 25, 2011I am going to blend two images together using multiply blending, and will iterate through all pixels. I have search in wikipedia that the calculation of multiply blending is:
resultRGB= src * dst / 255
but it didn't mention about alpha, how does alpha affect the result?
For y = 0 To fsrc.Height - 1
For x = 0 To fsrc.Width - 1
Dim d As Color = fdst.GetPixel(x, y)
Dim da = d.A / 255, dr = d.R / 255, dg = d.G / 255, db = d.B / 255

Split String At Alpha Character?
Mar 3, 2011I have a string that I need to split. I need both parts of the string returned.
I need to split the string after the last alpha character and create a string array from the 2 seperate results.
The string will always varry, but there will always be at least 1 alpha char at the beginning of the string. Here are some examples:
AB1/2
Should return as "AB" and "1/2"
ABC1 1/4

View 2 RepliesInput Events With Per-pixel Alpha Forms?
Sep 28, 2010I am creating a project with a maximized per-pixel alpha form. However, the normal input events (MouseDown, MouseWheel, KeyPress, etc) are never raised. I've been able to create some bare-bones functionality by overriding the WndProc method, but some things elude me. For example, I want to detect mouse wheel scrolling. When I check for the mouse wheel message, it works fine. Then I try to use the GetLParam function to get a MSLLMOUSESTRUCT with the scroll data. However, when I try to use it, I always get an error:"Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt." What can I do?-Must Program! Error: Not enough time to program

Picture GetPixel And SetPixel: Include Alpha?
Jan 6, 2011I am trying to use GetPixel and SetPixel to copy the contents of one picture to another (I know there are other methods to do so, but there are reasons I want to try this ;D)Anyway, the pictures are .png images, so they include transparency settings.
But for some reason, it seems like when I use GetPixel & SetPixel to put one image over another, it seems the second image completely replaces the other one. I mean, it seems the transparency settings are not respected when I use GetPixel & SetPixel.Both images have the same size. Both have transparent areas.
