A few questions about VBExpress
1. How can I create a transparent background on labels?
If I use "Transparent" as web color, the label has the bg color of the Window, if I use the "Window Transparency Handle Color" (or how it's called) the window is invisible at the label's location.
2. How to request the current Time?
in VB6 it wastime$() in the help istime.current or anything like this, but it isn't working
3. How to handle theSystem.drawing.bitmaps in menus?
I do not know how I can use one of those pictures for the menus
4. How can I add a text to aDropDownToolStripMenuItem?
If I change the Value oftext nothing will be displayed.
I hope you can help me.
Sorry for my bad english
1) Not sure. I've never tried this.
2) Now() will get you the current date and time.
3) I've never done this, but I believe you need to create an ImageList control, add the bitmap to that, and then tell the menu item which image to use in the control.
4) In Beta 1, this was done via the menu's properties page. I've never tried changing it programmatically.
Hope this helps.
1) It seems, that visual basic uses the current container's background. if I embedd the object (the Transparency is nowhere working, not in labels and not in grouping elements) in a toolstripcontainer, the bgcolor is like the blue one of the container.
2) OK, I'll try this
3) I can't find any solution for this problem. If I use local resource, it will Browse through the hdds, but not through the drawing.bitmaps
4) If I change the Value of "Text" only the "ToolTipText" will change but not the caption :(
Thx for the partly :D help
