1, easy to make transparent form
VB.NET can easily produce a transparent form: We can set the opacity property to a value between 0.0 (complete transparent) and 1.0 (completely opaque) in the "Properties" window of the Form. a:
DIM FRM As FRMTRANS = New FRMTRANS ()
FRM.OPACITY = 0.5
frm.showdialog ()
2, easy to make a form that is always on the top layer
In VB6, you have to make a form that is always on the top-level form. We can only help a headache API function. However, in .NET, we can achieve the same effect as long as we simply set the topMost attribute of the form! E.g:
DIM FRM As FRMTOPMOST = New FRMTOPMOST ()
frm.topmost = true
frm.show ()
