Make an image translucent?

UJ
I have a WinForm program that has stuff on the form. I want to add something
to it that will have an image over a portion of the window that is
translucent. How can I do this?

Also - I need to have a popup window that is transparent. Is there any way
to do this?

TIA - Jeff.

Hi guys. I'd like to use an image as my border on just the right side of a div, to create an arrow shape on a 'continue' link. I've created the image to use and tried to code it myself, but failed miserably on both Safari and Firefox. Here's my current code: #continue { background-color:#ebebeb; margin:20px 0px 20px 0px; height:45px; border-image-right:url("images/continue-arrow.gif") 100% round; width:80%; float:right

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. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
