    Jamie /Arbiter Can you show How

    Hi,

    Could you provide some code samples for making a form transparent?

    Thanks
    Thomas

    We don't have anything to make a form transparent at the moment, we were talking about blitting the image from the form behind to the form in front creating the illusion of transparancy.

    We could provide some examples of that if you wish...

    In windows 2k and XP you can set the windowstyle to layered, if thats what you want
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13

    Set the window's region to make parts be transparent.

    At VB-World's main site they have examples
    All contents of the above post that aren't somebody elses are mine, not the property of some media corporation.
    (Just a heads-up)

    There's at least 100 different methods for that at http://www.planet-source-code.com . Just pick one
    Code:
    Temp = Me.GetIQ()
    'Error 9: Overflow
    'DON'T PANIC! :eek:
