Rotation of Windows Forms controls is not possible because the underlying
Win32 API's that drive them know nothing about the graphics required to do
it.

You can rotate the contents of some controls if you control all the drawing
yourself.

As for transparency, see the article in Windows Forms Tips and Tricks.

Are there methods for manipulating images in JavaScript that would allow me to write functions to rotate, skew, mask and resize images (bitmaps)? The functions need to be fast enough for use in a top-down scrolling game. Or would I be better off preprocessing all of the images with something server side such as PHP and then preloading them into my JavaScript already manipulated? The only thing I don't like about the idea of...

I have been using a module for printing labels in Access 97, and although it works fine, I would like to add a small enhancement to it. The module allows for setting the number of labels to print and/or to skip; however, the Cancel command button does not function, nor does clicking the X-close. Clicking either one is the same as clicking the OK button. Since the module creates and displays the dialog box, I will need a piece of code to...

I've tried setting the mousedown to handle mybase.mousedown but it doesn't detect the mousedown event until I move out of the pictureboxes I have created (only works on the part of the form where I don't have any pictureboxes). I also cannot set the mousedown event to...

As part of my app I am programatically adding some Label controls to a form at runtime. The code for these is part of a function that is overrriding the Paint event of the form. The other stuff that is drawn in the same function works fine when I resize the screen (some lines and so on) but the labels remain. I tried deleting them by putting the following in the forms' resize event (the labels are the only "controls" on the form): for...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
