Translucent Panels

Hi All,

I am into a .net compact framework project wherein i need to build the
translucent panels using c#. I tried building the same and came out
with the solution (using unmanaged code) but i need to extend the panel

class so that all of the functionality of the base class are available
to the user as well.In my current solution i snapshot the rectangular
region from the underlying control (can be picturebox,form etc)
prepares the bitmap out of it and then apply the alphablending formula
on the bitmap(bit manipulations). Currently alpha value and colour
properties are accessible to the user but i need to extend the panel
class so that it can accomodate other controls as well.Can anyone guide

me in this direction.
Please point me out if i am putting my query to the wrong group but i
think that graphics programmers would have definitely dealt with such
kind of functionality.
Regards

Yogi

Hi, I want to display different forms when the buttons are clicked and all the forms are having different controls on it. So instead of adding new windows forms to the project, i enlarged the form and used many panels on the same form, which i think is easier to manage. However, i am having problems. Should i need to put the panels on the same location on the design layout? i put the panels at different places and it doesn't get...

Hi We have a number of Panels on our windows form, we have controls inside and outside of the panels. I am having problems tabbing between controls, it appers to be when the controls are within panels: It will tab though the controls outside the panels and then, tab into the panels. I have also tried setting the tab index at design time.

I have been attempting to solve this problem for a few weeks now, but I'm not having much luck... I would like to create a seamless fading effect on each form/window in my program; one that, when an image is clicked with a mouse and held, the window fades away by approximately 50% transparency, and when the mouse button is released, fades back to opaque. I have been able to do this to an extent, with the SetLayeredWindowAttributes...

As far as I know if I change the form's opacity, every control on the form also inherits that opacity. But in many real applications (not application programs), we see opaque text (100% opacity) on a traslucent background, for example text messages on TV. Or look at the title bar text of Aero. Background is translucent but the text is opaque. Is it possible to use 100% opaque text on a traslucent form?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
