.NET Forum / Languages / Managed C++ / January 2006Form visibility
I need to change the opacity of some part of a form (e.g. vertically 1/2)....If i set opacity from property it affects the whole form. Can anyone help me in this regard? I don't think so. I think the only way to do something like this is to - split your window into 2 windows, and then change the opacity of 1. (sucks. i know). or - overlay your main window on top of a second one. then make the main window partly transparent. the part of your window that has the second window below it will not seem transparent. (don't know if there are buttons on that part or not. that would complicate things) there is no 'easy' solution for your problem, afaik. kind regards, Bruno.

Put a Panel on the Form. Make the BackColor of the Panel different from that of the Form's. In the code write ... this.TransparencyKey = BackColor; This will make the remaining portion of the Form fully transparent, you can even click on the page that is behind your form. Warm regards, Ayan -- Sent via .NET Newsgroups http://www.dotnetnewsgroups.com Hi, I think i misunderstood your original query. you can only use this to make one part of your screen completely transparant, while the other part remains completely or partially opaque. you cannot use this technique for example to make a part of your screen 50% opaque while the rest stays the same. which is what i thought you asked for. kind regards, Bruno.
