在没有WPF的扩展Glass Frame中绘制TextBox

我正在尝试在表单的扩展玻璃框架上绘制一个TextBox。我不会描述这种技术,它是众所周知的。以下是那些没有听说过的人的例子:http://www.danielmoth.com/Blog/Vista-Glass-In-C.aspx

事实是,画在这个玻璃框架上是很复杂的。由于黑色被认为是0-alpha颜色,任何黑色都会消失。

显然有一些方法可以解决这个问题:绘制复杂的GDI +形状不受此alpha-ness的影响。例如,此代码可用于在玻璃上绘制标签(注意:使用GraphicsPath代替DrawString以解决可怕的ClearType问题):

public class GlassLabel : Control
{
    public GlassLabel()
    {
        this.BackColor = Color.Black;
    }

    protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
    {
        GraphicsPath font = new GraphicsPath();

        font.AddString(
            this.Text,
            this.Font.FontFamily,
            (int)this.Font.Style,
            this.Font.Size,
            Point.Empty,
            StringFormat.GenericDefault);

        e.Graphics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
        e.Graphics.FillPath(new SolidBrush(this.ForeColor), font);
    }
}

类似地,这种方法可用于在玻璃区域上创建容器。请注意使用多边形而不是矩形 - 使用矩形时,其黑色部分被视为alpha。

public class GlassPanel : Panel
{
    public GlassPanel()
    {
        this.BackColor = Color.Black;
    }

    protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
    {
        Point[] area = new Point[]
            {
                new Point(0, 1),
                new Point(1, 0),
                new Point(this.Width - 2, 0),
                new Point(this.Width - 1, 1),
                new Point(this.Width -1, this.Height - 2),
                new Point(this.Width -2, this.Height-1),
                new Point(1, this.Height -1),
                new Point(0, this.Height - 2)
            };

        Point[] inArea = new Point[]
            {
                new Point(1, 1),
                new Point(this.Width - 1, 1),
                new Point(this.Width - 1, this.Height - 1),
                new Point(this.Width - 1, this.Height - 1),
                new Point(1, this.Height - 1)
            };

        e.Graphics.FillPolygon(new SolidBrush(Color.FromArgb(240, 240, 240)), inArea);
        e.Graphics.DrawPolygon(new Pen(Color.FromArgb(55, 0, 0, 0)), area);

        base.OnPaint(e);
    }
}

现在我的问题是:如何绘制TextBox? 经过大量的谷歌搜索,我提出了以下解决方案:

  • 对TextBox的OnPaint方法进行子类化。这是可能的,虽然我无法让它正常工作。它应该包括画一些我不知道该怎么做的神奇的东西。
  • 制作我自己的自定义TextBox,也许是TextBoxBase。如果有人有好的,有效和有效的例子,并认为这可能是一个很好的整体解决方案,请告诉我。
  • 使用BufferedPaintSetAlpha。 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms649805.aspx)。这种方法的缺点可能是文本框的角落可能看起来很奇怪,但我可以忍受。如果有人知道如何从Graphics对象中正确实现该方法,请告诉我。我个人没有,但这似乎是目前为止最好的解决方案。说实话,我发现了一篇很棒的C ++文章,但我太懒了转换它。 http://weblogs.asp.net/kennykerr/archive/2007/01/23/controls-and-the-desktop-window-manager.aspx

注意:如果我使用BufferedPaint方法取得成功,我发誓我会制作一个简单的DLL,其中所有常见的Windows窗体控件都可以在玻璃上绘制。

我刚才在这个话题上花了一些时间。基本上你需要的是一个透明的文本框。我最初的方法是使用codeproject AlphaBlendTextBox - A transparent/translucent textbox for .NET。但我有一些难以解决的问题。过了一段时间我找到了所需的解决方案,它只适用于Windows XP及更高版本。同样要使此控件的行为与单行文本框一样,将RichTextBox.Multiline设置为false。

// It seems there are 4 versions of the RichEdit control out there - when I'm talking about the 
// RichEdit control, I'm talking about the C DLL that either comes with Windows or some version 
// of Office. The files are named either RICHEDXX.DLL (XX is the version number), or MSFTEDIT.DLL 
// and they're in the System32 folder.

// .Net RichTextBox control is bound to version 2. The biggest problem with this version (at least 
// for me) is that it does not render properly if you try to make the window transparent. Later versions, 
// however, do.

// We can fix that. If you create a control deriving from the original RichTextBox control, but overriding 
// the CreateParams property, you can put in a new Windows class name (this is the window class name, 
// nothing to do with classes in the C# sense). This effectively gives us a free upgrade. When the .Net 
// RichTextBox control instantiates, it will now use the latest RichEdit control and not the old, archaic, 
// version 2.

// There are other benefits too - version 3 and beyond of the RichEdit control support quite an extensive 
// array of layout features, such as tables and full text justification. This is the version of the RichEdit 
// that WordPad uses in Windows XP. To really see what it's capable of displaying you can create documents in 
// Word and save them in RTF, load these into the new RichEdit and in a lot of cases it'll look identical, 
// it's that powerful. A full list of features can be found here:
// http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/commctls/richedit/richeditcontrols/aboutricheditcontrols.asp

// There are a couple of caveats:
// 
// 1. The control that this is bound to was shipped with Windows XP, and so this code won't work in 
//    Windows 2000 or earlier. 
//
// 2. The RichTextBox control in C# only knows about version 2, so the interface doesn't include 
//    all the new features. You can wrap a few of the features yourself through new methods on the 
//    RichEdit class.
