As you will probably guess, I'm just starting out with VB.net although I'm a
long time VB developer. I was playing around with the Opacity property of a
form and have found that I can set the property at design time or in code
just fine, but as soon as I move the form to a new location on the screen,
it becomes completely opaque. If I then try to set the opacity property
again, I get an error message. Any idea what's going wrong?

Hi Bob... I've got a suggestion though :-) You could show the line you are
using to set the opacity and second you could let us know what the error
message is.
If you want to test it more yourself, start a project, add a form, set the
opacity and run the program. If that gives you an error I would be
surprised but if it does you have limited the number of other factors that
may be causing the error.
Does doing nothing more than the following cause the error? What error?
Me.Opacity = .5
Tom
Tom:
I have a the following code in a Button Click event of on a form:
If Me.Opacity > 0.05 Then
Me.Opacity -= 0.05
End If
As I click this button the Opacity of the form continues to get smaller
(more transparent). However, if I stop and drag the form to a new location
on the screen, it immediately reverts to completely Opaque. If I then click
the button again I get this message:
"An unhandled exception of type 'System.Compone ntModel.Win32Ex ception'
occurred in system.windows. forms.dll
Additional information: The parameter is incorrect"
and execution breaks on the "Me.Opacity -= 0.05" line of code above.
Thanks,
Bob

If Me.Opacity > 0.05 Then
Me.Opacity -= 0.05

This works for me and doesn't give any errors after dragging the form and
re-clicking the button.

This should not occur. Maybe you need to update your graphics card drivers.

I think for long time now, that the current implementation of CSS

The soon forthcoming CSS3 recommendation does not serve the public

From CSS 3 http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/CR-css3-color-20030514/#opacity

I tried using opacity: 0.50; and it appeared to work as expected in
Safari and Firefox, but not in Opera. Does it actually work in any
version of IE? Does it degrade harmlessly like in Opera?

I know that I can change the opacity of an entire form, but is there a
way to control opacity to specific controls or components?
For example I want to create a form that is semi-transparent (maybe
looks like a sheet of green glass) but has elements or graphics on top
that I want to be opaque. Perhaps I want the sheet of glass to have
writing or other graphics "painted" on the surface. Is there some way
to mix varying transparencies...

A little off-topic, but, does anyone know if it's possible to set the
opacity of jpeg images in IE7+? For firefox, the css "opacity"
property works fine on most image types including jpegs. On IE,
however, the equivalent filter, "(filter: alpha(opacity=...)," only
works with PNG images.
Anyone know if it's possible to get the property to work for jpeg
images as well?
Thanks,
