Hi there,
I am creating an internet browser(www.netsurfer2000.com)in vb6 and I'd like
your help.
Actually I'm looking for a vc++ programmer who can make the following simple
activeX control for me
(If you're going to ask for money, don't post at all- I'm a student)
What I need is a control that's something like a very
simple picturebox. Here are the things it needs to do:
1. I have to be able to put other controls in it.
This means that it will be considered by Windows as a
parent window that contains child windows (controls). When
the parent is moved, the child windows are automatically
moved with it - the same as a picturebox.
2. It has to be able to be made transparent. When the VC++
control is refreshed, the controls in it are automatically
drawn but the VC++ control isn't. The child controls will
also be able to receive mouse events like normal.
3. I have to be able to set it's height and width at runtime
Thanks in advance
IMPORTANT NOTE: YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS CONTROL IN VB DUE TO A BUG
(MICROSOFT HAS ACCEPTED BUG'S EXISTANCE).
If you set the backstyle of an ActiveX container control
to transparent in VB, all the controls you place in the
container become invisible.
I need what's called a TransparentPaint backstyle - the
container is transparent but the contained controls are
not. The TransparentPaint backstyle doesn't exist in VB.
It was mentioned in VB5 Help but never implemented.
Your help will be strongly appreciated
If you need more instrunction please email me.
Thanks again
