Hi all,
I know how to make a form transparent and how to create fadein and out effects on forms and controls both. But i dont know how can i make a form transparent but the controls are not transparent they must be visible. Or you can say i want to make my form transparent but i dont want to make controls on the form transparent.
Thanx

What type of controls are you referring to, Ali? And why do they need to remain transparent. Perhaps there is another way to achieve if you could cpould post the working code.
In a bit!

The code is large. You can check my code in How to section. I have posted my codes to fade or making transparent form and controls.
But i dont want it that way. When i use that code form make transparent itself and all the controls on it. but i dont want to make controls trasparent.

Hey ali.
In newer versions of vb.
Set the background colour to a colour unused in the rest of your controls.
Then under the forms properties set the "Transparen cy colour/key" equal to that of your form.
i think you are using vb6.....which means...complic ations....and therfore this probably is not an option

Wow i tested this in vb2005, its neat!
James
James and deniel i know and i have done this a long time ago in vb2008 by setting form's transperent color. I got an idea about doing it in vb6.
I ll upload a file but the way i m trying to do is a bit different, But stiil there is a problem i want to make the form semitransperent not completely transperent. and i knw this cannot be done in vb2008 too.
Thanx

Ali i think it can be done in vb08:
using silverlight.
insert a WPF user control..and this allows you to set a transparency% and amazing graphics....and shadows...etc.
Or you could convert your application:
instead of windows application
select Presentation application.

Try by this: -
Private Const GWL_EXSTYLE As Long = -20
-
Private Const WS_EX_LAYERED As Long = &H80000
-
Private Const LWA_ALPHA As Long = &H2
-
Private Declare Function GetWindowLong Lib "user32.dll" Alias "GetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long Private Declare Function SetLayeredWindowAttributes Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal crKey As Long, ByVal bAlpha As Byte, ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long
-
Private Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32.dll" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long, ByVal dwNewLong As Long) As Long
-
Private Declare Function SetParent Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hWndChild As Long, ByVal hWndNewParent As Long) As Long
-
Dim alpha As Integer
-
Const MAXALPHA As Integer = 250
-
Const MINALPHA As Integer = 0
-
Private Sub SetTrans(ByVal OB_Hwnd As Long, ByVal OB_Val As Integer) On Error Resume Next
-
Dim Attrib As Long
-
Attrib = GetWindowLong(OB_Hwnd, GWL_EXSTYLE)
-
SetWindowLong OB_Hwnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, Attrib Or WS_EX_LAYERED SetLayeredWindowAttributes OB_Hwnd, RGB(0, 0, 0), OB_Val, LWA_ALPHA
-
FTransVal = OB_Val
-
Exit Sub
-
End Sub
-
Private Sub Command1_Click()
-
If MAXALPHA = alpha Then
-
Exit Sub
-
End If
-
SetTrans Me.hwnd, alpha
-
alpha = alpha + 10
-
End Sub Private
-
Sub Command2_Click()
-
If MINALPHA = alpha Then
-
Exit Sub
-
End If
-
SetTrans Me.hwnd, alpha
-
alpha = alpha - 10
-
End Sub
-
Private Sub Form_Load()
-
alpha = MAXALPHA
-
End Sub
-
Are you sure this will set transperency to form only not to controls.

Anyone know how to create a transparent splash screen similar to Photoshop,

the form shows through. Forms don't support a transparent background...

Is it possible to set the background of a usercontrol as transparent?
I tried setting the background image of the usercontrol to a transparent

I'm making some controls that aren't rectangular and it won't be pretty if I
end up with a grey rectangle behind each one.
