Hello everyone. I need to set an image as a form's background because i have many picturebox's ontop of the form that have a transparent background value set to true. Without setting the image as the...

i would prefer a .ini file but how would i go about doing that?

I could do that, but i am looking for an even simpler solution.

To broaden my question, i am actually looking for a way so that a user can save their file and have the current form saved in the...

That's the right idea, but i am looking for the loop to search the entire solution, not just the opened forms. As to what dglienna was saying, is there a forms collection, or do i need to create an...

I am looking to have a "for loop" search all forms in my project (opened and closed). So far i have the following:



Dim frm as Form
For Each frm in .......
If frm.Name = "Form1" Then

Great news. After staring at my computer screen for months, it finally hit me. I discovered the glitch in my code. The line that is missing is as simple as

Hello everyone. I have been working on a little game for quite some time now. A major glitch that i am facing regards the in-game dialogue that appears. As soon as the dialogue functioning starts, a...

I tried the code examples located on the pages you linked to, and i experienced the same difficulties as the original poster faced. There is lots of flickering. Any other thoughts? Please explain...

Thanks for your input. Is there a way to use the transparencykey attribute without making the form 100% transparent??? I need it to be about 75% opaque.

Hello all. How can i make the form partly transparent and have the controls on the form keep 100% opacity? I only want the back form to dim. Thanks

Perfect! And thanks for the clear example. I have already implemented this approach into my project and it works great. My future projects will definitely not be so choppy when it comes to multiple...

Thank you for all of your input. All of your suggestions sound perfectly logical. Any new project i begin will definitely follow your guidelines. Unfortunately, I have to finish this game soon and it...

Thanks for your suggestions. Is there a way to have one master form, and have the other forms appear on it so i do not need to reprogram the code on all of the forms??

Ok. I cannot post my game because it contains way too many textures and functions and forms for a file upload. I, however, whipped up a quick sample of the form switching i was talking about. Please...

Hello everyone. I am working on a windowed game and I wish to create an On Screen Display (OSD) to keep the player up to date on his or her heath, gold, etc. I have tried many times to accomplish...

Ok, i see. No worries. Thanks for your input.

Thank you so much. If it is not a hassle, would you mind posting your class module? Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to incorperate the Winscok control on a windows mobile device form? I am writing the mobile app in VB.NET. I am creating a mobile version of a piece of software i developed earlier for...

Lets pretend I have a form with a small 20px by 40px picture box in the middle. Initially, it is not visible. After click a command button, how can i get the image to fade in? Do i just run a loop...

That is a very interesting question you have there. Right now, the most plausible work around i can think of is the following:

*Application starts and runs in the background upon system start...

Haha thanks guys. I am currently using VB.NET 2005. Adjusting the opacity just changes the visibility of the form. I am looking to use the windows API if it is available to create the glass look for...

Hello. How can I enable the cool vista aero effects within my vb.net application? I wish to make portions of the form, or prehaps even the whole form, have the transparent glass effect. Any thoughts?

My main purpose for this post is that I am coding a small little game I have been working on. Originally, I had been using pictureboxs to hold the player's image. I now wish to move to GDI+ for many...

The file is a .gif. i want to draw it onto the form. upon each redraw, i want the previous drawing of it to be removed (may already be done without coding).

Thanks. I am still unsure on how to accomplish what I am trying to do. How do i use GDI+ do draw an image to (x,y) when the image is located under My.Resources.Images.Image1?
