Glass heading in application
-
Hello for all! I need some programmer's help. I have a task to write a program that will use some Vista APIs. I want to add to this program a glassified heading (white text on black glass background), just like in Windows DVD Maker. What C# code I should use to make this? Thanks.

Have you tried searching this site for the article for extending the glass appearance? Their is an excellent one if you just do a search.

Well, thanks, but I know about WPF... On this MDSN site I won't find anything. Moreover, I'm working on a Windows Forms application.
Cool. Well DVD Maker is not a WPF app, but this may be useful.. Adding Glass to a Windows Forms Application[^] Also, GDI+ can be used to easily render windows with opacity. Mark

I know how to make a glass form, I need the glassified HEADING. It is white text on the glassy BLACK background, just like in DVD Maker. I don't need glassified form. Here's a screenshot: http://img352.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotth9.jpg[^]

You can do all that with GDI+. Are you looking for a built-in control that does the drawing for you? Mark

You get that kind of caption automatically in wizards. If you can't use a wizard, see Vista Goodies in C++: Using Glass in Your UI[^]
