| Post subject: | Semi-Transparency |
The word semi appears only 29 times in the entire forums. Lol. Anyways. Does anyone know how to get semi-transparent picture boxes and semi transparent text boxes? I've searched the forums in vain, I googled it with difficulty. If anyone can lead me in the right direction, I'd love it. I've seen a semi-transparent VB form before. Infact, I had an application with it. Anyways, please, someone help. |

Even if there is a method of having a semi-transparent picture box, it won't work over your game screen ;D Go make a semi-transparent form and then drag it over your game screen. Then you'll see the problem. |

I thought it worked on the game screen. |

It does, but it is x% transparent on all the image but if you do so it will also blit the black, or what ever the transparent color is, also as a semi-transparent black, so you will always have a black, or what ever the transparent color is, square around the thing you are blitting to the screen. |

Pfft, I know how it works. And I know a little here and there. But compared to my knowledge in everything else, it's as if I know nothing in Dx7. |

DX8 is just a bitch when handling textures. |
