Doesn't help me, I know this stuff already. You might want to reply to the OP, though.
Hopefully, he doesn't just cut and paste your code and expect it to work!  And, yes, I still say this should have been a consideration when the control was designed and not an after thought.

I already added the porperty and set my control style to support transparency, I just want to know how to make the opacity in the painting code and (Absof***inlutely) give me the key so thank you all,
and i am not just cutting and pasting the code

I'm happy to have helped you,
and i don't mind if you paste the code, do as you want!
But i maybe the code doesn't work (as Dave suggested), i didn't test it ...

That's a great site (though CP still is better;P)

Are you asking how you can disaply your own login form when XP locks the desktop and the user tries to unlock it?
You can't do this without replacing the GINA.DLL. Here...[^]

Thanks for this GINA dll,i will go through it still i ll explain my req once gain..
sir actual requirment is that ,i want develop a vb.net app to just login a computer (let xp os) after certain amount of time i want to hide all desktop and to show my own login window by which user can login .just like app use in cyber cafe to browse net ,like there a login window user can login through it and desktop get locked after logout or after time limit till new user get login.just like this i want to this...!

You have two options
1. write a GINA dll.
2. write an app that has keyboard and mouse hooks so you can stop those things responding until your app lets them. Seeing as VB.NET can interop with system DLLs, you may even be able to do this in VB.NET instead of C++.

By drawing it yourself.

With code. You're asking someone to completely write a solution that is so simple, if you can't find the way to do it online, or at least give it a go and ask specific questions when you get stuck, you probably should not be programming computers at all ( even in VB ).

YOU CAN DO THAT BY USING LARGE FONT. WHEN THE FORM LOADS, IT WILL SHOW YOU LARGE LABEL.

Hi
I'm working with VBA for MS access. A visually impaired user has high contrast set on his pc and when printing snapshot reports they appear in high contrast.
To resolve the problem I was trying to write a sub routine that would check if high contrast was set and if true switch it off before printing and then switch it back on after printing.
I was using the SystemParametersInfo api. The code I was using is below.
const SPI_GETHIGHCONTRAST = 66
const SPI_SETHIGHCONTRAST = 67
const SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE = &H2
const SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE = &H1
Private Declare Function SystemParametersInfo Lib "user32" Alias "SystemParametersInfoA" ( _
ByVal uAction As Long, _
ByVal uParam As Long, _
ByVal lpvParam As Any, _
ByVal fuWinIni As Long) As Long
Sub TestCode()
a = SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETHIGHCONTRAST, 0, 0, SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE Or SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE)
MsgBox a
End Sub
Not sure what I'm doing wrong but the SystemParametersInfo function returns if high contrast is on or off.
Any help with this would really appreciated.

const SPI_GETHIGHCONTRAST = 66
Private Const HCF_HIGHCONTRASTON = &H1
Private Type HIGH_CONTRAST
cbSize As Long
dwFlags As Long
lpszDefaultScheme As Long
End Type
Private Declare Function SystemParametersInfo Lib "user32" Alias "SystemParametersInfoA" ( _
ByVal uAction As Long, _
ByVal uParam As Long, _
lpvParam As Any, _
ByVal fuWinIni As Long) As Long
Private m_bHighContrast As Boolean
Sub TestCode()
' check for high contrast
Dim tHC As HIGH_CONTRAST
tHC.cbSize = Len(tHC)
tHC.lpszDefaultScheme = 0
SystemParametersInfo SPI_GETHIGHCONTRAST, Len(tHC), tHC, 0
m_bHighContrast = ((tHC.dwFlags And HCF_HIGHCONTRASTON) = HCF_HIGHCONTRASTON)
'Debug.Print m_bHighContrast
MsgBox m_bHighContrast
End Sub

Thanks for the sample that works great. Can the same API be used to set the high contrast on and/or off at run time.
|
|
|

Your welcome, and Yes you can use it to 'set' the contrast also,
From MSDN:
An application can turn on the high-contrast option by calling SystemParametersInfo with uiAction set to SPI_SETHIGHCONTRAST, uiParam set to the size of the HIGHCONTRAST structure, and the pvParam parameter set to a pointer to a HIGHCONTRAST structure that contains the high-contrast parameters that you want to use. You should set the HCF_HIGHCONTRASTON flag in the dwFlags member of the ACCESSTIMEOUT structure that you pass to SystemParametersInfo.
hope this helps..

Brilliant, I've got that working now. Many thanks.
Const SPI_SETHIGHCONTRAST = 67
Private Const HCF_HIGHCONTRASTON = &H1 'HighContrast is currently on.
Private Type HIGH_CONTRAST
cbSize As Long
dwFlags As Long
lpszDefaultScheme As Long
End Type
Private Declare Function SystemParametersInfo Lib "user32" Alias "SystemParametersInfoA" ( _
ByVal uAction As Long, _
ByVal uParam As Long, _
lpvParam As Any, _
ByVal fuWinIni As Long) As Long
Sub Test()
' Pass a value of false to switch high contrast off or true to switch it on
Call SetHighContrast(False)
End Sub
Sub SetHighContrast(Contrast as Boolean)
Dim tHC As HIGH_CONTRAST
tHC.cbSize = Len(tHC)
tHC.lpszDefaultScheme = 0
If Contrast = True Then
tHC.dwFlags = HCF_HIGHCONTRASTON
ElseIf Contrast = False Then
tHC.dwFlags = 0
End If
SystemParametersInfo SPI_SETHIGHCONTRAST, Len(tHC), tHC, 0
End Sub
