Dealing With .NET Transparency Ctrls
I like to graphically design some of my apps.
But using .NET controls (picbox, label) is not to my liking.
In VB6 I could put a label over any picture (on form or picturebx) and EVERYTHING under it would show.
In .NET I have not found a way to do this.
I've tried every transparency setting there is for label and picturebox, but still can not just do a simple task that was so easy in VB6.
SEE ATTACHED PICTURE (below)
It works fine if you just put it on a form... and thats it!
It will work if you put a picture in the form. But the picture is tiled... so what about resizable forms where you only want the one instance of the picture to show... plus if you have a toolbar.... to bad...
the top of the picture disappears under the toolbar!!
What was MS thinking??
How do they expect people to use these "transparency" on controls. The form color is really the transparent color!! duh
THAT IS NOT TRANSPARENT!!
I REPEAT...
THAT IS NOT TRANSPARENT!!
So, far I have liked .NET up to this point, but unless I can find some easily implementable methods to make ONE stupid label control "transparent" so that everything under it is VISIBLE....
Then what is the point... Graphical interfaces are only do able if you create a graphic that shows it all.
How will people make wizards that have labels of text over pictures that change frequently.
COME ON MS.... WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!
there, I am done ranting.
