I just found a tutorial that teaches how to change the transparency of a text box with an Increase transparency and Decrease transparency button. I tried to work it but then realised the code was meant for C#. I am just wondering what code I would use to change the transparency of a text box via a button in Visual C++.
Thanks
Luke
Look up the functions in MSDN. It will often provide C++ examples as well as C#.
Thanks mate :). Will check them out. I did try to find it on google but couldn't.
I can't find it in the MSDN library.
what are you looking for? Name specific win32 api functions or C# functions.
I searched transparency c++, transparency and transparent.
That tutorial should have shown you how to do it in C#. Look up the C# functions.
I suppose here is one example
I am doing C++ though.
The link I gave you IS c++. Download the example and see if you can port it without using MFC. Writing windows programs in pure c/c++ is pretty tough code. It can be done, but its not something beginners can tackle.
It's very easy to do with Win32 apis.
You can ask on professional win32 api newsgroup :
