Thanks - that's awesome! how on earth do you manage to find all this stuff?? :) again, thanks...

Hey - Does anyone know how to take screenshots in vb.net. Similar to the way explorer does when you goto the shutdown/logoff dialogue (minus the greay scaling ;) ) Example code would be great, Thanks, Raven

Thanks Thanks, muchos helpfull! ;)

I checked that out.. it's a cool article. I just can't work out how the hell to use that damn thing. I played with it for about an hour and still can't manage to make it display the new coloured image :<

Ummm.. Sory if I'm just being blind or something, but SetFocus doesn't seem to appear anywhere in VB.NET... There's form.focus(), but I think that's only for multiple form apps, not when the whole thing's not in focus.

Hi! Yeah, my region code is very simple though, and it's all inside my icon class so it's just as easy to call. You might be able to help me out with the WinKey + D stuff in my other past at http://www.vbdotnetforums.com/showthread.php?t=102 though...

Thanks - I'll look into it. I'm sure I'll work something out....

Hi all. Yay - first to post in graphics/GDI - unless someone posts before I finish this..... I'm writing a program that I hope to replace the normal desktop with. To do this I need to create icons with labels and I'm using an array of pictureboxes for the icons, but I can't make clear labels...
