    - Make a window "Click-through" Hello everyone, I've got two little apps which are able to create a window that displays something on the desktop, but are not clickable. Instead, when you click on the window, the item 'behind' or 'under' that window gets clicked. I'd like to know how to do this, using VB6, VB.Net, Windows Forms, or API functions. Any ideas? PS. The apps in question are (both freeware): Desktop Logo - http://mt.smolyan.info/desktoplogo.php ClocX - http://www.tenzor.cz/clocx/ Thanks in advance, -- Martijn <@> Coppoolse <.com> Tag: Transparent Label Tag: 71734

    - not wanting to serialize an event I have a design in place for a .NET app coded in C# in which the business object drives the appearence of the UI and when the business object experiences a change, it notifies the various UIs via events . Problem is, when I tried serializing the business object to a file, when traversing the tree of referenced objects, it found the event targets, and tried to serialize my UI object (which is not serializable). I then said to myself: "simple solution: mark that event as non serializable" and went ahead to include the NonSerializable attribute, but the compiler rejected that as saying that such attribute applies only to "fields" (and I guess an event is not a field). Eventually I solved my problem by having a separate object declaring the events and broadcasting the events, an object I called EventNotifier, an instance of which is defined in my business object, which forwards the requests to broadcast a change event to the notifier object. In the code, I did mark this instance variable as [NonSerializable], thus the EventNotifier and all of its target objects (the UI classes) are never serialized. Used SOAP serializer in C# 1.1. It fixed the problem, but was wondering if others have better ideas. Tag: Transparent Label Tag: 71727

    - Scrolling a TextBox when form isn't in foreground? I'm writing a simple debug console application that displays debug messages in a seperate application The app contains a RichTextBox control to display the text. Vertical scrolling is on. After adding text to the control, I set the text selection to be the last character of the text so that the control will scroll to always display the new text at the bottom of the control Problem is, the textbox doesn't scroll to the bottom while the console is not the foreground application. New text will be drawn when added (if it's already visible) and the scrollbar updates to show that there's more text in the control. When I bring the console forward, it THEN scrolls to the bottom of the text I've tried calling textbox.ScrollToCaret(), textbox.Refresh(), and textbox.Update(). None of these help Can anybody tell me how to get my TextBox control to scroll while in the background TIA Steve Johnso Paris Developmen Tag: Transparent Label Tag: 71725

    - InputBox Hello Is there a standard inputbox in the .Net framework (usable for C#), just like a modal MessageBox except it prompts for a string? I know that VB had an InputBox( ) method, but I don't see an equivalent, nor do I see how to modify the MessageBox to make it an InputBox. The ideal would be something like string strResult = InputBox("Message here") //strResult set to whatever the user typed I could always just write my own inputbox form, but that's a lot of extra work for something that should be basic Thanks Mike Tag: Transparent Label Tag: 71707

    - Developing a graphical interface with .NET Dear Colleagues, we developed a huge application based on Visual Studio C++ 6.0 windows forms, basically this application is one component that belongs to one distributed system, and it's functionality is to provide resources that allow the user to input data to the global system. Actually, our application is becoming unaffordable to maintain due to we've been adding to many patches to it (i know that it's not the correct way of work, but we hadn't enough time to think about redesign and develop it from zero). Well, the fact is that we are looking for new technologies that allows us to develop the graphical interface of this application, we need a technology that: - helps to maintain, extend and reuse the components of the graphical components (we will be adding new features frequently). - provide a easy API for develop with it. For us is really important that we develop as fast as possible and test the program in depth. An easy API helps. - Can be used on .NET framework, which is the framework on where we're developing all the system. Thank you ! Francesc Guim Bernat Tag: Transparent Label Tag: 71704

One problem though (so far...): when i move around the datagrid, my controls appear and disappear fine, except for when losing focus on a cell inside a new line (that is - adding a new line to the datagrid while editing). if i navigate to another cell in the same column, it disappears. when i navigate to a cell (in the same row or not) in a different column, the previous control stays visible... I did not attach any code since it is availble in the link on MSDN. thanx, Picho Tag: Transparent Label Tag: 71694

    - Rounded Corners on Translucent Form I have a borderless form with it's Opacity set to 60% so the background shows through. It looks very nice. But I'd like to round the corners of this form. All the techniques I've seen so far for creating shaped forms involve using the TransparencyKey property of the form. But this doesn't work with a form that is translucent because the form color varies at runtime based on the background colors that are showing through.

    - PrintDialog: Customize for ALL apps Not sure where to post this question. I need to make a change to the standard PrintDialog, or have another form popup along with it. I need to track the 'client to be billed' for each print job, along with number of pages. One solution I see would be to change the standard box, so when a user clicks Print in any app, they are presented with a dropdown list of clients, and a record is added to a DB with the selected client and the number of pages. Another method may be to 'intercept' windows messages headed to a printer???? Can someone guide me in the right direction here? I write in VB (VB.NET). Thanks! Kevin Tag: Transparent Label Tag: 71679

    - Given a handle, set focus to the form, how to, please? Hi! I am trying to solve the problem of Ctrl+Tab to navigate between child forms of an MDI container. The problem is when the child forms host the infamous WebBrowser control, doing Ctrl+Tab will not activate the next child form. It takes 4 Ctrl+Tab's to activate the next child. I have the toolbar and statusbar controls on all child forms and that's where Ctrl+Tab is going before switching to another form. To make the short story long, I am intercepting the keyboard events using PreFilterMessage() and raising a notify event to the parent form. I pass the child window's handle to the parent. That's where I wish to remove focus from the child form and set the focus to the next form in MDIChildren list. I am having a hard time 1) Based on the handle, remove the focus from the child form. How, please 2) Finding the next child in MDIChildren and setting focus to it. How, please Am I on the right track ? Am I doing something really stupid(probably) Any input is greatly appreciated Thank you in advance --Sam Tag: Transparent Label Tag: 71672

    - Server Alive I have written an application that runs stand alone on a users machine without being on the company's network. However, there are certain pieces that requires the user to be on the network. I would like to disable these if the user is not on the network. Currently I have a method that checks if a directory path exists (a network directory) to determine if the user is on the network. This has proved inefficient as it sometimes takes a few seconds for the method to work. I need something more efficient to let me know if the user is on the company's network SystemInformation.Network just tells me if a network is present regardless if it is the company's network or some other the user has connected themselves to. Thus this property would not help me Any insights would be great! Tag: Transparent Label Tag: 71663

Secondly, if the worker thread needs to raise an event how should it do it ??

    - Invisible toolbar buttons I have added a toolbar to my WinForms app. The toolbar has 3 buttons and a separator. I have associated an imagelist with the toolbar and setup the images and buttons appropriately. At design-time I can see the bitmaps on the buttons, but when I run the application the buttons are blank. After googling around a bit I saw that some people got around this by making sure that this.toolBar.Buttons.AddRange (in InitializeComponent()) came at the very bottom of the toolbar section.

    - Databinding problem I thought I had this figured out, but apparently I did not. I have a list of objects, lets just use Person as an example. The list implements IBindingList. One of the properties of the object is Address, which is an Address object. Binding the list of Person objects to a datagrid produces the anticipated results, each of them shows as a row in the grid. You can even click the 'plus' and navigate to the Address object. Great. What I want to do though is to show JUST the addresses in the list. I don't want to see the individual information at all, just the addresses corresponding to the individuals. What I tried was: binding = new Binding("Datasource", personList, "Address") Grid.Databindings.Add(binding) Unfortunately, what this does is show the ONE address of the current Person. Which is great if there is only one Person in the list, but if there are more than one it only shows a single address. So how do I do what I want? Tag: Transparent Label Tag: 71604

    - Win form pops up with no reason Hi, I am using C#. I have a form (form1) with multiple controls on it. There is a button and when it is clicked it opens a different form (form2). When form2 is closed a method of form1 is run and form1 becomes active. On form1 there are multiple text fields. The problem is that when the form1 becomes active (after form2 was closed) and the focus is in a textbox and I hit the enter key, the second form (form2) pops up without any reason. For the text box I handle the keypress event but when this happens the event is not captured. I do not understand why form2 shows up without any reason. This happens only after form2 was opened and closed. If the form2 was not opened and I hit enter in the textboxes everything is working fine. Thank you. Tag: Transparent Label Tag: 71575

I have a picture box with a picture in it.
I place a label control over the picture control, and I set the BackColor
property on the label to Transparent.
And yet the Label does not show as transparent at runtime or design time.
It has the standard ugly gray background.
Why?
What is the best solution?

Thanks,

Hi,

When a controls backcolor is transparent it takes the background of
its parent. Make sure the label parent is the picturebox.
