| Guest | .NET2 TextBox & DWM Hi. First of all, I have extended glass to my client area and I want to put a search textbox on it. The biggest problem is, that the text inputed is rendered in glass regardless the foreground color I set to the textbox...how to avoid this? The second question is how can I make it glass semi-transparent like these in explorer windows? I believe this can be done by the dwm blur api but I haven't managed it to work in C#... Thanks for any help. |

On the page http://www.microsoft.com/uk/msdn/events/nuggets.aspx click "Show All" and look for the one called "Glass with C# in Windows Vista". I've watched it a while ago but I seem to remember it covered your question... Forgive me if it doesn't and I ended up wasting your time... -- Stefano |

| Guest | Re: .NET2 TextBox & DWM Hi Stefano, really thanks for this link. This answers the question how to use blur api and what it is for (creating glass area inside a form). It does not explain the problem with TextBox (and any other WinForms controls), however, explains the second approach to get glass which I believe will not make these troubles. The semi-transparent textbox, as someone has answered me on forums, is done using such background image. Thanks, I recommend this video for all starting with glass! ;-) Jan "Stefano Lanzavecchia" <wildstf@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:8FCB6C0D-BDA3-4438-94CE-4F0AE5AC108B@microsoft.com... >> The second question is how can I make it glass semi-transparent like >> these in explorer windows?
