how can show my png image on form with display blur effect under it-need user control

[Black_Storm]

I'd surely like to see an example of the above approach, which accomplishes the same thing as shown below...:



The above shows the desired "frosted glass effect" in the "Caption-Area" of the two little "Form-like Widgets".
Each of the two Widgets has two editable TextBoxes in it, which are Child-Widgets of these "Form-Widgets" -
and no - it's not that easy to do all that Alpha-rendering correctly, when "things get nested".
(Please move the Widgets around - or resize the Form, which changes the BackGround-Image underneath, to see what I mean).

That's one of the reasons, why the RC5 (and its Alpha-capable Form- and Widget-engine) exists -
to make it easier for VB-devs, to accomplish such complex things in "no time" and with only a handful of code-lines (steps and code shown below):

- open a new empty Form-Project and ensure two Project-References: vbRichClient5 and vbWidgets

- now create a new Class-module and name it: cwFrosted

Option Explicit
 
Private WithEvents W As cWidgetBase, Blr As cCairoSurface, Offs As Long

Private Sub Class_Initialize()
  Set W = Cairo.WidgetBase 'as usual, set the WidgetBase and define a few defaults
      W.Moveable = -1: W.Alpha = 0.25
      W.FontSize = 11: W.BackColor = vbWhite
  'add two TextBoxes into this little "Form-like" widget-container
  Widgets.Add(New cwTextBox, "txt1", 16, 49, 120, 24).Text = "cwTextBox 1"
  Widgets.Add(New cwTextBox, "txt2", 16, 77, 120, 24).Text = "cwTextBox 2"
End Sub

Public Property Get Widget() As cWidgetBase: Set Widget = W: End Property
Public Property Get Widgets() As cWidgets:  Set Widgets = W.Widgets: End Property
 
Private Sub W_Paint(CC As cCairoContext, ByVal xAbs As Single, ByVal yAbs As Single, ByVal dx_Aligned As Single, ByVal dy_Aligned As Single, UserObj As Object)
  Set Blr = W.BackBuffer.GaussianBlur(4, Offs) 'get a blured Surface from the current BackBuffer
  CC.RoundedRect 0, 0, W.Width, 36, 4.5, , cmTop 'define a clipping-region (using a Path-definition)
  CC.Clip: CC.RenderSurfaceContent Blr, -Offs, -Offs: CC.ResetClip 'render the blurred Surface within the clip
 
  CC.SetLineWidth 1 'the rest is normal Widget-Rendering as usual in the Paint-event
  CC.RoundedRect 0, 0, W.Width, W.Height, 4.5, True, cmTop 'a rounded Rectangle (now in full height)
  CC.Fill True, Cairo.CreateSolidPatternLng(W.BackColor, W.Alpha) 'let's fill it
  CC.Stroke , Cairo.CreateSolidPatternLng(W.BorderColor, 0.8) 'and stroke a border around it
  
  If Len(W.ImageKey) Then CC.RenderSurfaceContent W.ImageKey, 5, 4, 25, 25 'render the Icon
  W.SelectFontSettingsInto CC, W.BackColor: CC.TextOut 36, 10, W.Key, , 0.25 'CaptionText-Effect
  W.SelectFontSettingsInto CC, W.ForeColor: CC.TextOut 36, 9, W.Key 'CaptionText-Output in normal Color
End Sub

- finally put the following code into your Form

Option Explicit

Private Pnl As cWidgetForm

Private Sub Form_Load()
  With New_c.Downloads 'add a BG-Image to the ImageList (per download from a Web-Resource)...
    If .Download("http://vbRichClient.com/Downloads/bg.jpg").WaitForCompletion(9) Then _
       Cairo.ImageList.AddImage "bg", .Item(0).GetContentData
  End With
  Cairo.ImageList.AddIconFromResourceFile "ico", "shell32", 167, 32, 32 'add an Icon as well
  
  Set Pnl = Cairo.WidgetForms.CreateChild(hWnd) 'create a PicBox-like ChildPanel over the CairoForm-engine
      Pnl.WidgetRoot.ImageKey = "bg" 'set the panel-background to the ImageList-Key we ensured above
      Pnl.Widgets.Add(New cwFrosted, "Frosted_1", 240, 130, 200, 120).Widget.ImageKey = "ico"
      Pnl.Widgets.Add(New cwFrosted, "Frosted_2", 120, 205, 200, 120).Widget.ImageKey = "ico"
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Resize()
  ScaleMode = vbPixels: Pnl.Move 0, 0, ScaleWidth, ScaleHeight
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Terminate()
  If Forms.Count = 0 Then New_c.CleanupRichClientDll
End Sub

Well, that's it.

i writed note because is important.
note: i dont want use richclient refrences or another ocx in my user control.

its important for me to dont use richclient i want just create my user control without any other dll or ocx.
any other idea(just send with sample code,i know descriptions but i am looking for source code samples)
