Semi-Transparency - Matt2 - 11-01-2008
The word semi appears only 29 times in the entire forums. Lol.
Anyways. Does anyone know how to get semi-transparent picture boxes and semi transparent text boxes?
I've searched the forums in vain, I googled it with difficulty. If anyone can lead me in the right direction, I'd love it.
I've seen a semi-transparent VB form before. Infact, I had an application with it. Anyways, please, someone help.

Just Blt it.
Re: Semi-Transparency - Matt2 - 11-01-2008
I'll consider both methods.
Someone point me in the right direction for learning?
Re: Semi-Transparency - Robin - 11-01-2008
Even if there is a method of having a semi-transparent picture box, it won't work over your game screen ;D
Go make a semi-transparent form and then drag it over your game screen.
Then you'll see the problem.

I thought it worked on the game screen.

It does, but it is x% transparent on all the image but if you do so it will also blit the black, or what ever the transparent color is, also as a semi-transparent black, so you will always have a black, or what ever the transparent color is, square around the thing you are blitting to the screen.

And the semi-transparent object will keep flickering.

Re: Semi-Transparency - Dragoons Master - 11-01-2008
Agreed. I need to learn DX8 as well... That was transparent stuff will be piece of cake xD
Re: Semi-Transparency - Matt2 - 11-01-2008
DirectX8? That'll be hell to convert...
I'll learn 7.
Re: Semi-Transparency - Dragoons Master - 11-01-2008
You don't know DX7? o_O | O_O | O_o
Re: Semi-Transparency - Matt2 - 11-01-2008
Pfft, I know how it works. And I know a little here and there.
But compared to my knowledge in everything else, it's as if I know nothing in Dx7.
Re: Semi-Transparency - Robin - 11-01-2008
DX8 is just a bitch when handling textures.
