When I populate a ToolStrip with ToolStripButton s with a .png-image on
it, will Windows understand the transparency of the .png file?

Most Windows.Forms classes allow you to choose a color to consider
transparent. Usually this property is called TransparentColo r.
Usually, I choose Color.Magenta (r=255,g=0,b=25 5). Just use this color
for all pixels that need to be transparent. The advantage is that it's
pretty easy to set up with basic image manipulation tools.

Yes and no. Actually, I haven't tried this with a ToolStrip in
particular, but this did come up recently with other Control-based classes.
The transparency of the PNG is in fact preserved. However, the Control
background itself is still erased before the PNG with transparency is
drawn. This may apply to the ToolStripItem-derived classes too.
In this case, choosing "transparen t" as the background color for the
item causes the background to be erased using the parent's color.
Assuming there's no overlap in your controls, this will have the net
effect of making the transparency in the image appear to work correctly.
But if there's overlap, you get that erased background on top of
whatever the underlying control is.
I don't actually know whether the ToolStripItem-derived classes have the
same behavior, but it seems possible that they would. Your best bet, of
course, is to try it. Then post back here with the answer. :)

It works fine with my application. Only thing is that it seems 'to easy'
since I have gone through a lot of trouble defining a Region-object to
restrict the drawing to just the portion I want. And suddenly there is a
lot easier way with .png and transparency. C# is just to versatile This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

(PHP4.3.4) Is it possible to change an image that's in one type (jpg, gif,

I yant to put transparency in an image without transparency and
without having to create a new image. This mean that I wan to read an
image from the disk and add some alpha in it.
for now, I have
private void createStdImage()

RenderedImage rImage = JAI.create("fileload", getName());
if (rImage instanceof PlanarImage)

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.

Hi,
I have an Image that is drawn with Graphics.DrawImage(..). What I want
to do is drawing it with a given transparency, e.g. at an alpha of only
180 instead of 255.
How am I doing that?!?!?
Regards,
Felix

I have an icon I want to draw onto the screen, but I want to streatch it out
to be about 256x256 and make it about 75% transparent how would I go about
this? do i need to convert it to a bitmap first then paint it larger? and
how would i make the entire image transparent at 75% transparency (25%
opaque) thanks!

Is there any way to save a bitmap in an uncompressed format which preserves
transparency?
The BMP format is uncompressed, but doesn't support transparency. The GIF
format has an alpha channel, but always uses compression. The TIFF format
preserves transparency and has an option for no compression, but that option
doesn't seem to be supported by VB.NET. I'm intrigued by the image format
called MemoryBMP; I'd like to test it out, but every...

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.
