Hi Gordon,

Have a look for "region" on MSDN.
You also can use opacity and (not the mainform) the backcolour tranparant
(is in the webcolors).

I hope this helps,

I am trying to create graphics with GDI+ that include transparency. However, the transparency never seems to show up, even though my colors have an alpha value of 0. How can I generate a graphic that is completely transparent in certain areas (so that the web page background shows through)? I save my graphics as gif files. I would appreciate, if possible, a simple example so that I can see the code. Thanks. -- Nathan Sokalski...

In a previous post I have been asking about a way to test Alpha Transparency. Bob and Michael have kindly provided some ideas. Here I would like to share the function I have prepared, for the purpose to improve it. Frankly, I am not clear about the exact meaning of some pixel format (max, gdi, etc.) and I hope I have put them under the right "case". I have made only some superficial test and it seems to work. Note that the purpose is...

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents.
