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?

Are you using Forms? WPF?
And, have you tried setting the text opacity explicitly? What happens
when you do?

C# 2.0 forms. As far as I know Windows controls don't have opacity
property but only form does. If I set a form's opacity to 50%, then
the label text's opacity also becomes 50%. I tried to get the form's
DC, and draw text using GDI operations with a color whose A value is
255, but that also didn't work. That A value seemed to be proportional
to the opacity of the form.
Thanks.

Right, as documented in the Form.Opacity property doc page.
I don't know anything off the top of my head that would allow you to
override that. It seems to me that the property is by design always going
to affect the entire contents of the form.
With a lot of work, you could probably reimplement the opacity stuff, but
giving yourself finer control over the opacity of the contents.
It's possible I'm just missing something...may be someone else will have
some better ideas.

I would like to be able to create a translucent HBRUSH.
the RGB macro create only solid color...
and, anyway, CreateSolidBrush ignore the higher byte.
Any idea?
I though I might do some trick with CreateDIBPatternBrush but I'm not sure

I have created a windows application in which the form needs to be
resized on the MouseMove event. The windows resize function takes a lot
of CPU cycles. And as the resize function is called on the MouseMove,
the form is resized around a 30-100 times in one second. This leads to
a high CPU utilization and all other application comes to a stand
still.
The form does not have any controls i.e. buttons, text boxes etc. It is

I have a form that will not 'fire' in non-IE browsers?? I have poked and poked at the code and can not find why.
The AJAX changes the query button in non-IE browsers, at least in the sense it is not opaque anymore, the 'title' check changes, etc - it just doesn't "fire" when you click the icon/image in Mozilla, etc but DOES in Internet...

Super!! It will take me a while to digest your idea, though...and in

And, first of all, really -- is your script or pseudo-code there

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,...
