Hi,
I'm looking for a function simular as this code.
But I don't need a transparent form - I just need a transparent control inside a form.
Maybe somebody can help.
Thanks,
Andre

good idea would be extend form class and put there Your implementation. It inherits Control internally, so there will be no problem.

just great!

why using old win32 with .net and c#...? get rid of those old gdi handles...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
because you cant update a layered window using a gdi+ bitmap....
|
|
|
|

|

How would I get this working with VB.Net 2005?

personally, however, I'd drop VB.NET and move to C# like most eventually do ... including me

Simply the BEST!! Many thanks, Rui!!!

Add some controls to overlay transparent form and avoid refreshing it's content with common Refresh()/Invalidate() methods,
use UpdateLayeredWindow() instead. For correct controls rendering add code like
Bitmap temp_bmp = new Bitmap(bitmap);
foreach (Control ctrl in this.Controls)
{
ctrl.DrawToBitmap(temp_bmp, ctrl.Bounds);
}
hBitmap = temp_bmp.GetHbitmap(Color.FromArgb(0)); // grab a GDI handle from this GDI+ bitmap
to the PerPixelAlphaForm::SetBitmap() method. Every System.Windows.Forms controlhas method DrawToBitmap().
Actually, i used this way to render simple controls - labels, i don't know would it work with more complex
user controls, but i can't see why it should not

Thanks, I was wondering about this.
Works perfectly
Edit: Ok, I take that back sorta.. The actual clickable region is MUCH smaller than the visible control (a button in this case)...

Thanks, this is just what I needed to complete my design. It appeared that the bitmap was not getting refreshed each time the procedure was called. The actual Form.BackgroundImage needs to be present underneath so the region cut out from your controls, e.g. so this background image can bleed through around the controls.
In order to achieve transparency of the form controls, just override the controls in question and make sure that the regions are set to the way you need along with the ctrl.BackColor = Color.Transparent.
Without spending too much time on this, ensure that the 'bitmap' you are using originated from the 'this.BackgroundImage' build-in Form property.
public void SetBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, byte opacity = 255) {
}
So just I just changed all references outside this function and used the pre-existing container for the Bitmap/Image with one already build into the Form control itself.
So what you get is something like this:
partial class MainForm: Form
{
Bitmap bkgrnd = null;
...
// Constructor
public MainForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
bkgrnd = lib.LoadBitmapResource(2005); // Assign your Bitmap loaded from .dll
this.BackgroundImage = bkgrnd;
// StartPosition has no affect so use this instead.
this.CenterToScreen();
}
...
private void RefreshFormTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (bkgrnd != null)
SetBitmap(bkgrnd);
}

I want mesure a length of a line by using pixel.Can u send me C# coding for that
fbgsd asgtdfg
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I've compiled the source by using the bat file but I'm still not able to get the Images to show up. What am I missing?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Check point 1...'Drag & Drop an image file from windows...", just drag one of the images in the sample zip onto the compiled window or call the following when the application is loaded:
SetBitmap(New Bitmap("full path to your image.png"))
Cheers

(Sorry for the poor English)
Hi,
I got a strange problem.
In my form i add something like :
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern int SetParent(IntPtr hWndChild, int hwndNewParent);
[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint="FindWindowA")]
private static extern int FindWindow(string lpClassName, string lpWindowName);
private int GetDesktopWnd() {
return FindWindow("Progman", null);
}
private void button1_click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {
SetParent(pngForm_.Handle, GetDesktopWnd);
}
So when I click button1 my pngForm_ is now drawed on the desktop.
This worked great with 1 monitor.. But now I'm dual-monitoring and I got a bug when I try to move the pngForm_ when it's on the desktop. By example I hit the form when it's on monitor 1, and the form go on monitor 2 at the same position, and after it's impossible to move it.
I have made a lot of test, and i thinks it's due to the cp.ExStyle. In Fact when I remove the WS_EX_LAYERED it works..
Any idea to repair that ?

Isn't it easier to use Forms.Opacity?

Đm, moebiusproject đúng là thằng ngu chẳng hiểu cái đ*'o gì cả!

No....because that won't give you an alphablended gui. it will just have 1 level of transparency

Hi,
This is some great code, I pissed around for ages trying to get this working before I stumbled across this page.
Now, it works just fine, the only thing is that forms descended from a PerPixelAlphaForm don't work in the VS2005 designer, you just get:
One or more errors encountered while loading the designer. The errors are listed below. Some errors can be fixed by rebuilding your project, while others may require code changes.
Error creating window handle.
This doesn't stop the project from building or running though, but it's a pain not being able to use the designer.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

protected override CreateParams CreateParams
{
get
{
CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;
if(Site != null)
{
if(!Site.DesignMode)
{
cp.ExStyle |= 0x00080000; // This form has to have the WS_EX_LAYERED extended style
}
}
else
{
cp.ExStyle |= 0x00080000; // This form has to have the WS_EX_LAYERED extended style
}
return cp;
}
}
This will let you view the form in design mode. Not much use though as i havn't wokred out how to add controls yet.

try to recompile sources, then designer should handle it. If not try using VS 2008 Express, in my case it works fine.
