aero-glass

I use windows form with GlassForm(using Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Shell;). my problem when I change form to GlassForm my textbox texts doesnt Place a panel on the form set the dock style to fill, set the panel's BackColor to color X and then set the form's TransparencyKey to the same color X. Cody Gray Yes, that's how it works. With the Aero Glass effect applied, anything drawn in the color black will be rendered as transparent. That includes text in a textbox control. This general theme has been the subject of many other questions here. When well-written, they gather lots of upvotes, but

I am trying to draw a TextBox on the extended glass frame of my form. I won't describe this technique, it's well-known. Here's an example for those who haven't heard of it: http://www.danielmoth.com/Blog/Vista-Glass-In-C.aspx The thing is, it is complex to draw over this glass frame. Since black is considered to be the 0-alpha color, anything black disappears. There are apparently ways of countering this problem: drawing complex GDI+ shapes are not affected by this alpha-ness. For example, this code can be used to draw a Label on glass (note: GraphicsPath is used instead of DrawString in order

I am working on creating a Windows Forms Application in C++ using Visual Studio 2010 Pro. I wanted to create a transparent background, that is, using the Aero Glass effect, similar to the way it surrounds the bottom of the UI in Windows Photo Viewer. At this point, I've looked through all of the features, and while you can change color and opacity, it's not exactly what I'm looking for. I want that nice blurred glass effect. I started this project from the template code that Visual Studio gives you, so I don't really have much to link. I just added a few items from the toolbox and linked them

I'm wondering about that many new applications, I think most built in WPF, has this really cool Windows Aero Glass interfaces. For example Seesmic or the upcoming Firefox 3.7 (source: crenk.com ) Searching in the internet most time it looks like you need a hack to realize this. But seriously: I don't think big software development teams use hacks to roll out their huge used products. So my question is: Windows Aero Glass Areas - How to do? Is it only possible with a hack? Maybe it's just one property, i don't know. I'm WinForms developer so I never tested out WPF. But my Google search didn't

I have tested several workarounds to disable the annoying magnifying glass with css, but on my iOS9 meteor cordova build it appears for a moment and fades out after some ms. it was working on iOS 8 but not on iOS 9 now with this css code: body, body * { -webkit-user-select: none !important; user-select: none !important; -webkit-user-callout: none !important; -webkit-touch-callout: none !important; } input, textarea { -webkit-user-select: text !important; user-select: text !important; -webkit-user-callout: default !important; -webkit-touch-callout: default !important; } *{ -webkit-tap-highlight

I have a borderless, non-resizable WPF form (WindowStyle=None, AllowsTransparency=True, ResizeMode=NoResize) with a semi-transparent background. Here's a picture of how the form, a semi-transparent red rectangle, looks right now, running on top of Notepad: However, I'd like the background to be blurred, like how Aero glass does it, except without all the fancy window borders and colored background with stripes - I'd like to handle that myself. Here's a mockup of how I want it to look like: How can I achieve this in the most efficient way possible? WinForms or WPF is fine by me. Hopefully it
