IE Toolbar with Gradient

I'm working on a toolbar for IE. I have everything working well but I'm
unable to get the toolbar to have the same gradient background under XP that
other toolbars on IE have.

To start with, I don't see any documentation to get the colors for the
gradient on IE. Is there one?

My toolbar has the TBSTYLE_TRANSPA RENT but it uses the defined background
color brush of the parent window as its background rather that really being
truely transparent.

I've set up my image list so that the toolbar buttons are being drawn
transparently. It's the toolbar itself that's painting the background with
the defined background color of the parent toolband window. This even
happens when I repaint the background in the WM_NCPAINT or WM_ERASEBKGND
messages.

How can I have my toolbar reflect the gradient that the other toolbars have
in IE.

- Dan.

I have a webform where I would like to have the background color for the webform be a gradient in blue. How do I do this? What is the easiest way? What is the way most used by other developers? Do you draw it with code or attach a .gif file as a background or what? Does one way or the other have an effect on speed? Thank You

The main ideea: I havea 513x513 array of values....I draw a sort of map using that values for colors... so I have a realistic lanscape (map).

I want to draw it smoth not a square of 60 pixels x 60 pixels with one color, because I can see blocks and it's not good.

I'm making a custom control that has a multiline textbox on it. I want to make the textbox have a gradient background. On my custom control's Paint event I call a routine that draws a gradient on the textbox's background, but the gradient starts appearing at the bottom of the textbox after the last line of text. It's almost as if VB draws the gradient on the entire textbox, then blanks out the part of the textbox that actually displays...

I'm drawing a linear gradient and its very "banded". The colors are far enough part that it should be plenty smooth enough but I always get the same number of bands regardless. I've tried to set g.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic; g.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighQuality;

How do you provide a consistent gradient fill as a background in a liquid layout? If I make a gradient fill image say 1000 pixels wide (and repeat it down the page) to suit a typical computer display, then only a small portion of the gradient will show if the viewpoint is a smaller PDA or phone display. On the other hand, if viewed full screen on a 1920 pixel wide display, I would run out of gradient on one or both sides of the page....

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.
