I am trying to use the DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea method on an mdiparent. IsMdiContainer = true; However the glass does not render correctly. Is this a limitation of an mdiparent I can get around? If the form isn't set as an mdicontainer then the glass renders perfectly. The glass area paints white instead of with glass. ...

Hi, I have a Windows form which has tab pages. On a Tab Page, I have a Combo Box. When I click the combobox a drop down opens up just below the combo box to give the impression of a drop down. The drop down is a windows form and this is how I set its position Popup.Location = control.PointToScreen(parentcontrol.PointToClient(new Sys...
I know the title makes little sense, mostly because it's hard to explain in just one line. So here's the situation: I have a program who's binary is targeted at Windows 2000 and newer. Now, I went ahead and added some code to check if the user is running under Vista/7, and if so then check if Aero/DWM is enabled. Based on this I'll disa...
Currently, I am referencing the Aero theme in my App.xml file. In the main.xml file, I am using expanders to display the content in a resizable width app. (For this example, I limited the width to 500) The expander header content generally will be short, but it allows for up to 500 chars. Depending on the window size (600 pixels by defa...
In my application, I get the screen resolution with this code: SystemInformation.PrimaryMonitorSize And I get the DPI with this code: using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromHdc(NativeMethods.GetDC(IntPtr.Zero))) { dpiX = g.DpiX; dpiY = g.DpiY; } This works fine in most situations. But when the code runs on a ...
I'm extending the Aero glass frame into the client area and want to place a search box on the extended frame, just like it Windows Explorer does: The default WPF text box has a grey/blue border though, and not the dark, white glowing border that can be seen on the screenshot. How do I change the WPF text box to use the same style as ...
Hi everybody Today I have another specific question about a new feature in windows 7 called the thumbnail toolbar or the Aero Peek Toolbar if some might like to call it that way. I have been able to create a new set of toolbar buttons for my application each button with its unique icon and behavior But I haven't been able to add functio...
How do you go about getting a thumbnail of a window, like Windows 7 superbar preview, or Aero flip? Note that I do not want a screenshot of the application, there is a way in DWM to get this information. I would like a C# way of doing this. Thanks ...
I'm using DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea in my WPF application to get the glass effect. This is working fine. What I'd like to do is change the colour used for the glass -- I'm writing a countdown timer, and I'd like the window to be the normal glass colour most of the time, and then to go red (but still with glass) when the time runs out....
I'm using Windows 7 RTM and I wonder how the control panel is able to update the Aero Glass color so smoothly without restarting the DWM (uxsms). DwmSetColorizationColor isn't working any more... ...
Creating Glass window is as easy as calling DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea in WPF, but that is only half of the trick. If you disable aero, and get the XP-like skin thats where the pain begins: In XP (or disabled aero) you must call DrawThemeBackground in order to get "transparent like feel", Internet explorer does this too on its top, tr...

Quick WPF question - on Win 7 (and I assume Vista) in WPF, the default progress bar does a nice little glowing "whoosh"-y animation. I'm showing progress of about 48 things on one screen, and it's a tad overwhelming to have all of these things whooshing on you - can you disable just these animations without affecting the rest of the def...

I would like to display a few small images (i.e. icons) in the title bar, around the middle of the title bar. How could I do this? WPF wi...

I'm sure this is on the web somewhere, but I'm having trouble with the search terms (getting lots of non-relevant stuff.) Anyway, I've got a Direct3D9 application.
