Check box - Pbcrazy - 30-05-2008
How would you make a check box invisible or at least where it doesnt have a lil grey ring around it. i want it to have the same background as the forms pic.
Re: Check box - GIAKEN - 30-05-2008
I think that you can change it from being 3D to being flat and that takes away the border?
Re: Check box - Pbcrazy - 30-05-2008
well could you tell me how to make a custom control, or which ever one is easier.
Re: Check box - Pbcrazy - 30-05-2008
ok, oh boy this should be fun.
Re: Check box - Rezeyu - 30-05-2008
Or jsut.. use something else.
Just make a Checkbox in Photoshop/Paint and use that as an Image attached to a variable, or even jsut visibility.

Make a check box in photoshop (or something) and make it fit in with your GUI. Then, in the code, when a user clicks on the checkbox, load up a second image of the checked checkbox. You could also make it invisible this way and add cool things, such as hover affects...
Re: Check box - Pbcrazy - 30-05-2008
i didnt think of that XD. ill do that. but whats a hover effect lol.
Re: Check box - GIAKEN - 30-05-2008
It's an event for objects. Make a picture box the size of your checkbox you made and in Sub Main() have it set the picture depending on the variable and then double click the picture box and click the drop down box and select MouseDown or MouseOver and try experimenting with those.
Re: Check box - Pbcrazy - 30-05-2008
hmmm so like if mouse over then load the picbox with like a gray check a couple pixels above where the real one will go. then if click or mouse down then load the real black check.
Re: Check box - Stomach Pulser - 30-05-2008
If you hover over a button, it lights up. If you click it, it gets gray. If you release(after clicking), it changes to maybe a different color. YOu can apply these to anything (such as a checkbox).
Re: Check box - William - 30-05-2008
Just grab the color of your gui, and put that color as the check boxes bkg color.

Another alternative:
When the form loads the check boxes add this:
Check1.Height = 0
Check1.Width = Check1.Height
Also make the check box flat rather than 3d.
Then use a label set to transparent.
*Note: This is just another method not the best.
