Pictureboxes and transparency

[Former Member]

Hi all

I don't know if I expect too much of SBO ontrols, but here goes:

I'm implementing my own wizard form. I'm using the "WIZARD_HEADER" and related graphics inside B1_Resource.dll

The said graphic contains a green/turqoise band wich i presume should be transparent as it should actually be the same colour as the form when it displays in SBO.

The second thing is text on top of the header graphic (to display a wizard name). I tried putting a static text ontop of the picture box, but the static text's background is grey and not transparent. As a result, the end product doesn't look very good.

Has anyone got some experience with the picture controls and overlaying stuff?

Thanks a bunch

Hi Marais,

My own experience about pictures is not so good (I finally don´t use them almost). But perhaps this thread could be helpfull.

Thanks, I had a look. There isn't really a definitive answer on that thread. (How to get the resource.dll bitmaps to become transparent) And it also doesnt mention static texts on top of images. Looks like I'll have to put the text directly on the image.

I get the feeling that SAP doesnt expose all the functionality of their controls to 3rd party developers through the SDK. What do you think?
