Transparent isn't. All Transparent does is tell the control to take on the background properties of it's parent container, which is the Form it's sitting in. For a truely transparent control, you'll need to make a custom version of the label. Google for "vb.net transparent label" and you'll find a bunch of examples.

I can't remember which way the Win.Forms Timer class works, but I'm pretty certain it marshalls events back onto the UI thread using Form.Invoke. That means you are limited to the speed of the windows message loop, and definitely the scheduling quanta, which is about 50ms. There's another Timer class somewhere, but I doubt that will get down to 1ms accurately. Any other thread that takes up the CPU is going to get a whole 50ms to itself, blocking your stuff.

Transparency doesn't work the way to think it does. What you've seen is the correct functionality. Controls are not transparent to other controls. Setting a control's background to Color.Transparent makes the control take on the background properties of it's parent container, most likely the Form it's on. You cannot see a control behind another control. Transparent is anything but...

Hi Guffa, It doesn't matter if you don't like my quote Everybody should be aggree with me its not compulsory And bytheway you worte ;P You should know that no programmer ever delivers 100% all of the time And somewhat ironic that you don't make the effort to write out words like "you", "your" and "are"... I used U,Ur,R because its a new style to write the quote not the vb.net code where we have to write correct word :zzz: But My 100% means your 100% effort not the 100% time Anyways thanks once again for answered my question :rose: Unless u don't give ur hundred percent whatever u r doing till there is no result of ur work... modified on Saturday, July 19, 2008 7:45 AM

Make sure you have registered the control with regsvr32, I guess. Christian Graus Please read this if you don't understand the answer I've given you. If you're still stuck, ask me for more information.

If the designer for visual studio crashes or does not allow the activeX control to be added to a form, then their is a problem. The problem is most likely because of an incompatability between the activeX control and either visual studio or the .NET framework. To fix the problem, ditch the control and find a replacement. You can either find an activeX control that works or you can use the Windows Presentation Foundation (of .NET 3.0). To use WPF you would have to convert the flash file to XAML.

hi What do you want to do with a HDD Serial number, for sure it changes when the HDD get formated. its not Stable, if you want this for Software protection thing, then i think you should go for Processor ID, that will never change.
