translucent.. thx for sharing it :)

Nice functionality. Just wanted to
comment however that there is a reason
EXE's are stripped from .ZIP files when
posting and I find it very rude that
you decided to rename your EXE to a
.EXE_ to force it to stay.
|
3/5/2001 12:00:26 PM:Florian Egel
Generally you are right, i just decided
to provide the .exe because the code
often leaves ghosts on the screen when
you run it in the IDE, so you have to
either compile it or run the provided
exe. that's why.

it seems GREAT !
but how to set the
level of the transparency ?
|
3/6/2001 6:23:31 AM:Florian Egel
there are 2 calls of FoxAlphaBlend, one
in Sub Update and one in Sub
Picture1_MouseMove. one of the last
parameters is 128, change this value (0
is invisible, 255 is opaque) but NOTE:
the values 64, 128, 192, 255 are MUCH
faster than the others, maybe 2 times
as fast! but play with the value to see
yourself.

Hey Flo,
this code is as excellent as
all your submissions! the first really
working translucent form, and your
Advanced Graphics Routines are awesome,
when I see your code I feel like a tiny
beginner even though I am twice as
old...
Once again, great work, 5
globes from me.

You clearly have a solid grasp of
graphic functions and the Win32 API. My
hat goes off to you. Where did you
learn to do magic like this?
|
4/4/2001 7:52:52 PM:MarkS
Magic!

As I set in other submission
We need
more people like
Florian!
Sharing
the knowledge to
everyone (open
source)!
Learning from
the best to

Thank you
and keep
working

Pretty cool. I like it a lot. I've been
wondering how fesable it would be to
'move' the desktop image around the
form as the form was moved. My AMD-k6
333 is not quite fast enough to run
this at a decent speed though.

No source for the DLL.. thats the whole
code.. I mean Jesus.
|
4/13/2001 5:03:32 PM:Chris
The source of FoxAlphaBlend would be
much more helpful. I haven't looked at
the code in the project yet, but from
what I can tell, almost all the work is
done in the DLL function(s). Even so,
it is an excellent example.
|
4/18/2001 11:12:55 PM:Florian Egel
Sure the source is in the dll, that's
what it is about. You can get the
dll-source at my other postings

Excellent Work! When I tried my own
bmp, the minimize and exit images
disappeared. How could one fix that?
|

Fantastic! 5 Stars.
Just one
question. I tried setting the ALWAYS
ON TOP flag using SetWindowPos, but
when Windows under this one change
(move, etc.), the Window won't
update.
Other than that, there is no
difference between this and the Win2K
Alpha blending.
Any idea what
Windows message or other technique
could be used to update the window when
others windows under it change?
|

ive tried to understand the coding but
i dont understand why there are 3
picture boxes???
why are tehre 3 in
the example... what are they used
for??
thanks.
|
11/27/2001 9:36:37 AM:SPeedracer
Great code.
Do you know of anyway to
make a whole form translucent? or
another program? and still allow all
the buttons and thingsto work?
thanks
alot.
|
3/29/2002 1:28:51 PM:Metasoft
haha that button at the bottom of the
form is from diablo 2, huh? thanks-i
really needed that dll.
|
4/27/2002 4:57:08 PM:subhra
could not download the translucent from
code for any machine.please rectify
soon
|
5/17/2002 12:37:09 PM:Fred Ochoa
This is truly the "best" one I have
seen on this site, and I have "tested"
about ten similiar ones on this site.
WOW!!!
I Just have two questions
Florian. Can you also make a
semi-transparent picturebox with your
dll.
I put the semi transparent form
on top of the mediaplayer control but I
guess the running video just flickers
to fast for the form to be
semi-transparent over the video???
|
6/15/2003 4:22:33 PM:Jonathan Chappell
Wow! I've been looking for something
like this for ages. Most other ones
require XP / 2000.
5 globes from me.
