home page of http://paolapalaciosdesign.com/ has thumbnails and when you hovering them, you can see transparent thumbnail will show up on the same thumbnail. but this have done in javascript.
What I want is, to do this in VC++ for a software. And in that software, that transparent thumbnail should be showed underneath the hovering thumbnail. Then all the other thumbnails(contents) which were below that thumbnail should automatically move to downside.
Please anyone know how to do that?
1) by writing a lot of code.
2) per pixel Transparency is done either using GDI+ or by using the AlphaBlend() GDI function.
By using Visual C++, you can use GDI+ or Direct2D to do this. But Direct2d need Windows 7 UP.

A quick and easy solution would be using MouseMove() message handler to track hovering area and change respective image using memory dc and BitBlt and finally DrawText on desired location.
Basically this method requires, different state images to be supplied.
Yep, if you view source on the website, you can see that they are doing exactly that, i.e using two different images.Quote:

Thanks for the all replies. Those helped to get some idea about this.
Yes you need to have some grip on VC++ alnog with C++ to do this. And its quite possible to implement the same in desktop application.
Well, seems you give up too easy. There's nothing hard in doing this using C++. Start with a single thumbnail and understand the principle. Later you can expand your solution.Quote:
