C # WinForm control development and beautification (1) -- control effect Introduction

I have always been interested in the beautification of. NET controls, and I also like to develop some controls. So far I have had some gains. First, I declare that many of the things I have learned come from the Internet. The purpose of this article is to summarize and review my previous studies, prepare for the next step to make these things a real skin control. A lot of things can't be seen at the beginning. If there is no source, please forgive me.

After reading this series of articles, if you have any good comments and suggestions, please leave a message for me.

Here I would like to thank the http://www.csharpwin.com/default.shtml website, you will find that many of the things I write can be found on this site. Let's take a look at it first:

I. Overview

A. The border of the form is translucent, and the transparency can be set by yourself.

Unimplemented part: the title and button of the form border are also translucent. I tried to put these parts in the opaque part for implementation, and then the transparent part for the above, the effect is achieved, but after the form is maximized

There will be residue in the background when it is reduced to normal hours. It is estimated that the transparency and opacity overlap. At present, there is no good solution to this problem.

About the form part, in my another essay has introduced, interested people can look at: http://www.cnblogs.com/liutao409/archive/2010/11/01/1866104.html
