Hi Matt,
What kind of application would it be ?
Basically, I'm not against the use in a commercial app. Credit would be nice to "www.blueactivity.com". And if you want to provide me with one copy of your application, then it would be great.
Cheers,
Nick

Great job. My problem is that im trying to use this panel over another panel showing direct3D, that is not a background. Nothing of the content except the backgroundimage of the panel itself is shown through the alpha panel.

hello i am using your alphagradientpanel, and it is working pretty well, but I would like to change some things in the property colors() thank to the code.
can you explain me how to do that.
thank you
mraviator >>>> i noticed that if you copy the alphagradientpanel in an other panel, then it works.
excuse my english ^^

Are the panels only transparent in Vista? I've run your sample application on XP, and the panels are not transparent.
Many thanks

I've played with this for a couple of hours and I'm finding these errors:
Environment: .Net 2005
In the designer, when you copy and paste a panel so that you can reuse your design. It isn't creating a new object in some form. I know that the colors object is the same reference because changing the color on one panel changes the color on both panels.

Great control!
There seems to be a slight problem when I copy an existing AlphaGradientPanel control and paste it on the same form. All colors and other properties are still tied together. Things work just fine when I start teh 2nd control from scratch.
Just an FYI, awesome control!

I've done a bit of VB and MSAccess over the years, but just starting with VB 2005 Express. I downloaded your zip files and unzipped them. I can open the projects(2) in Express, but still can't figure out how to add this stuff to my ToolBox, so that I may use them in any project.
When I just do Tools, and Choose ToolBox Item and then Browse, it looks for "Executable" Files and going thru all the folders in the AlphaGradient unzipped folders doesn't find any executables.
I saw a note below about "Rebuilding?" but didn't know what that really was.
So I guess I just want to plead ignorance and see if anyone can give me step-by-step instuctions on how to get this beautiful stuff in my toolbox, so that I can use it in any project I do.
PS: I love the looks of what you've done, very good work!
Thanks,
HankFrid;)
Always a work in progress!

First of all, you need to compile (or build) AlphaGradientPanel, which will produce a .dll file in the project\bin directory.
Then open anew one and with the Toolbox, browse, choose that dll file.
It'll add itself to the toolbox.

Nick

Sorry im a bit new to this c# thing..
I tried to add the downloaded .dll to the toolbox too and without result. You say 'rebuilding' the .dll will help? How do I do that?
-- thanks

Nick, you've done some excellent work here and I especially love the look and feel of the controls.
I am currently making a non-profit little application for my family to help with managing time and I would very much like to borrow what you've done here.
If this is acceptable, please let me know!

The control looks really cool and I'd like to use it, but I get the following error when I try to load the dll into my toolbox:
‘C:\..\AlphaGradientPanel.dll’ is not a Microsoft.NET Module
Any ideas on how I can overcome this? Thank you very much!

Maybe because it's a .NET version 2.0 control ???
|
|
|
|
|
I do remember reading that some of the data types were .NET 2.0 specific, and I have .NET 2.0 on my development maching. The problem I'm having is that the projects I create only allow me to choose 1.0 or 1.1. Any suggestions on how I can fix this so I can use your control? Thanks.

Never mind, I just realized that VS.NET 2003 doesn't support .NET Framework 2.0. I'll go get VS.NET 2005 and it should work fine. Thanks.

Hi, first of all let me say you have done a really nice job.
I've found that after I've set the Image property of the component I'm not able anymore to reset it.
Thanks again for your great job.
Regards

Thanks,
In order to reset the picture to "nothing", just select the picture (System.Drawing.Image) and hit "DELETE", it should work.

I try adding it to the tools section & it says that it can't be loaded. I also try registering it & it dosn't let me niether. Please help. Thanks in advance.

I loaded the proejct in vb express 2005 and rebuilt it with no problems. I even was able to reference it in another project.
Could you give us a bit more info on your setup?

Great control! Do you have any restrictions or requirements for using AlphaGradientPanel?
Thanks for an awesome control!

Thanks,
There is no restrictions yet. The only thing I'd like to have is a screenshot of the final application that is using it, when possible
Cheers,
