Semi-transparent (or traslucid) panel

Hi,

Well it's a bit difficult to post this idea...

I've got a Splash Screen, wich includes a PictureBox with a fairly "large"
image... I would like to use this Splash form as a Login Screen as well. My
initial idea is to use the space provided by the image for the login input.
In order to do this I would like to load a Panel (or whatever) so I would
get a "box" over part of the Image, this "box" should place some color over
the image of the picture box.

This would be something as the Opacity property of the form, but what you
see behind should be de image loaded in the picture box, not what we have
under the form... And it should be applied to a control on the form...

Don't know if I've posted this idea clearly enough.

Hi, There is any chance to insert a control like a text box in a panel choosing the absolute position? When I try to insert a label , the panel positions the control on a locked position. Thanks Fabrizio

Hi! In my application, I have a panel in the middle of the form, which I'll be using as a drawing panel. I would like to update the drawing panel each time when it is required, without updating the form as a whole. The following snippet makes compiler mad : this.DXPanel.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint | ControlStyles.Opaque, true);

Hi, Can anyone help. I have a asp.net page (c#), with two panels, both of which have asp:textboxes on. When I press the first button, the second panel shows fine. When I press the button in the second panel, it triggers the script to send the form details by email.

Hello group: I'm trying to hide a panel control in javascript when a print button is clicked. On my web form, I have a button that fires a javascript function called doPrint(). No matter how I attempt to write the line to reference the panel control, I get a Null error or an Object does not exist error. I know this can be done in asp.net, but I need the event to fire at the client, otherwise the page will print before firing the...

Hi, If I make a control that derives from panel, how can I persist the state of the controls that are inside the panel when it is not rendered (visible = false)? The reason for this is that I'm making a custom user control that derives from the Panel class. In the render method, I render some stuff and then I do base.render if the panel is to be visible. If it's to be hidden, I don't render it, but when I render it again, the controls...

I have a control that simply displays a list of links. Following one of the links doesn't post back or redirect to another page, it simply hides the current panel and shows the one you selected... So the behavour is similar to a tab control. The user is expected to fill out required data on each of the panels before pressing a submit button which is visible from all panels. Problem I have is validating the data entered by the user. I...

I'm using the sample code of the file 'simple.py' and trying to make a single window with a panel in it, but I keep getting an error. Here's my code: (I know I might need something else, like a Show() method for the panel, but the error stops on the first panel line anyway. I've tried a Layout() method but it didn't get that far). import wx class MyFrame(wx.Frame):

Hello everyone! Got a bit of a problem... Two of the panels on my program contain a number of check boxes. The exact number of which is determined by a pair of variables. I have recently implemented a Wizard which changes that number, as well as a save and load function to the program. I know the number of being altered in memory (i added a quick check button) but what i'm struggling with is how to refresh the panel with the new...

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...

Overview: 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,...
