Making UserControl Background Transparent By Grabbing Container Background
Hi,
I want a usercontrol to grab a background of it's container and paint that over itself so that it appears transparent.
Here's the code snippet:
Code:
BitBlt hDC, 0, 0, ScaleWidth, ScaleHeight, GetDC(Parent.hwnd), Extender.Left, Extender.Top, vbSrcCopy
I can't seem to get that to happen. The usercontrol background instead displays what was in that place previously (e.g Desktop or VBIDE). Looks like that is because VB doesn't redraw area under the controls.
I searched the forum and didn't find anything I could or wanted to implement. For example, I don't want to use regions or GetPixel/SetPixel.
In case you wanted to take look at UserControl (although you probably won't find anything new) I am attaching it to this message.
Thanks,

Code To Place A User Selected Picture As The Background Picture
This is an odd request. My company (in its infinite wisdom) has decided to automatically place the company logo as the background picture at network logon.
I'd like to write a little VB program that I could put in the Startup folder that would replace that with my selected picture automatically.
Any ideas on how to access the Windows Background property? Thanks.

Making A Function Work In The Background
Alot of threads I have read trying to find information deal with getting a window that is out of focus and bringing it into focus and I need help with the reverse of that so to speak.
Here is an overview of what I am doing and all I wish is a point in the right direction.
I'm altering some IRC client code to make a simple racing game chat room using a private IRC channel with the freeware IRC server called BewareIRC.
The IRC client is a MDI main window and all other windows, chat, channel list are child windows.
Since the only channels that will be on this network will be those who have made rooms to match up for racing. I'm hoping to have an auto refresh of the channels for the players but I have run across a problem.
Right now I use the /list command and use a timer to send that automatically every 10 seconds. It works but here is the problem.
When it send the /list command it interrupts other functions. If I minimize it to do something, it pops the application back up when it send the command, if I'm typing in a chat window, if sends ther focus back to the list window.
My question is, what do I look into so I can try to get that function to work in the background and not interfere with other things.
thanks for any help

Making A Picture Fit The Picture Box Instead Of The Box Fitting The Picture.
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to make a picture fit the picture box instead of the box fitting the picture. So I would want the picture to get smaller like the image preview on windows xp, when you click once on a pic and it shows the details and a small form preview of the pic yet not disformed (i.e NOT STRECHED)
Can someone show me how to do this?
Thank you and have a great day!

Background Picture
Hi All, I've made this verry nice background picture for my application. But now comes the problems, I want a listbox to go behind a cutout in this picture.
I've made the picture in PSP, with the cutout transparent. This means that the cutout is in white. Is it possible to make this work, or do i have to use one of the skinning programs.
Actually its another MP3 player, but it will also play video's in the listbox.

Center A Picture In The Mdi Background
I am using the following line to load a picture as the background to the main form of an MDI app that I'm running:
Me.Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path & "imagespic.bmp")
The picture loads in the upper left corner of "working space" background whereas I would like it to load in the center.
I've done a search but got lost amongst all the other MDI type questions. Another idea I had was to set the height and width properties to match those of the form but then the picture would distort as the user resized the form.
Any suggestions?

Changing Background Picture

Forms Background Picture
Hello All,
When you create a form you can, from the 'Properties Window' , insert a background picture. This picture stays with the form and will appear when the program is even run on a different computer.
Is it possible to be able to switch between pictures without having to resort to 'LoadPicture', which requires a full location of the new picture.
Alternatively, can the original pictre be changed from 'Color' to 'Monochrome'. This, I believe, can be done in an MSFlexGrid.
Thank You

Lost Of Background In Picture Box
I have drawn a graph in a picture box and now have crosshairs attached to the mouse (Using PLINE... on Mousemove). As I move it across and draw the crosshairs, I save the cordinates and redraw using ,backcolor etc. Howewer I am gradulally loosing what was underneath. It seems to be disappearing pixel by pixel.
I do have the autoRedraw = true
The attached project runs like this. When you pass the mouse into the icturebox, two diagonal lines are printed. Then by clicking on the commondbutton, the crosshairs are activated. As you move them around, the oixels in the diagonals are lost.
There's something simple I've forgotten, isn't there?
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
