Hi there. I know I can make a form transparent by setting the transparent
color, opacity, etc. Is there a way of making the background of a label and
the background of a picturebox transparent also, so that I can place some
text on top of an image (seing the image behind the text instead of the gray
box of the label) and showing to the user only the image without the
background of the picturebox or form, and the text over it?
Any Ideas? I that actually possible?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the quick answer!!!Unfort unately it's not working as expected.
I'm able to make the labels transparent but they're too transparent! ;)
Now the label placed over the image creates a "hole" in the image. I can see
not only what is behind the label, but also what is behind the entire form.
I wanted to be able to see the image behind the label and whatever was
behind the form behind the image. Maybe I'm doing something I'm not supposed
to..

Ok, I'll explain the whole problem because there may be several ways to
solve this and hopefully someone knows one. What I'm doing is creating
a specialty template editor, similar to say a corel draw (but for

text and then move them around the background until they are where I
want them and then export it out as an image file.
The problem is that I need to be able to...

Hello,
I would like that my image's background color will be transparent.
What I have is only paintbrush.
My image is *.jpg format (I have tried to save it as *.gif format, and I got
less quality),
and I don't know how to make the background.
In every tool I open the image (html, flash, etc...) I see the original
background color, and not the transparent color.

I am having a problem with pictureboxes being trasnparent to some form

them front images). Each of the front images has a transparent region. The
background shows through these regions quite nicely, but if the...

Hi.
I've experienced one problem. Im using three froms. Two of them are
maximized, whereas one is normal form with transparency. Transparency stops
working, that is I can see the color which should be the transparency. It is
happaning always when I go to second maximized form, use comboBox and come
back closing second form to first from and use third form with transparency.
Then transparency stops working.
Strange!

Hi,
After the great help I received to create PictureBox arrays I now have
another problem.
I want to be able to position transparent pictureboxes (with a small
rectangle drawn in them) next to each other. However if they overlap
they do obsure the picturebox underneath, even though the form
background is still visible.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
