Blurring the entire screen in a WinForms application

Hello,
I am trying to come up with a way to blur the entire screen (all forms visible) on a WinForms program. I am using C# in VS2005. I have tried the code from this link:
.net - C# dialog form with blur background - Stack Overflow
...and it works quite well, however it only works for the active form, not for all forms visible. How would I adapt this code to work for the entire screen? I looked at
the Application.OpenForms[] controls, but I can only do one control.
Is there a more elegant way to do what I'm trying to achieve?

Hi friend,
Like your title mentioned, this is a WinForms application case. So I moved your case to Winform forum for better support.
Best regards,
Kristin

  • How to set a background image to fill the entire screen on any device in a spark mobile application

    Hi,
    I started developing a mobile application with Flex.
    I'm trying to set a background image to fill the whole screen. I've been stucked at this point for days now. I tried everything and no solution seems to work for me.
    I'm using a TabbedViewNavigatorApplication and i need to set some background images on views.
    I need my image to fill the entire screen on any device. i don't need to mantain image aspect ratio,  just need it to be fullscreen. This seemed to work when setting a custom skin on the TabbedViewNavigatorApplication, however this blocked all my views for some reason and all components contained in view became invisible.
    Can you please tell me how can i achieve this?
    Kind regards,
    Dan

    Basically you need a larger image which can accommodate any device. The trick is to show only what each device can display, so therefore some clipping will occur based on device. Have something centered and towards margins have a  gradient or just plane colors that way the stuff in the middle will be visible on every device while nobody will care if you are clipping from the color fill.

  • I just bought a Samsung S22B310B computer monitor and hooked up to my Mac Mini. I have my mac set to the 1920X1080 resolution but the entire screen (21.5") is not filled. It looks like non HD channels do on an HD TV. Used regular hook up not DVI.

    Just bought Samsung S22B310B computer monitor and hooked it up to my mac mini. I have my mac set to the 1920X1080 resolution but the entire screen (21.5") is not filled. How do fill the screen? it fills the screen on other resolution settings. I have it hooked up regularly and not to the DVI hook up. I'm not a computer savvy person please help!

    That monitor supports both (digital) DVI and (analog) VGA connections, so you should not need a converter or use a different adapter.
    You should use the Apple Supplied HDMI to DVI Adapter and a (digital) DVI cable to the monitor.

    CS6 problem. When I open the Mask panel, it takes up the entire screen width and the Looks controls disappear, Also, there is a new panel below the Mask panel that seems to have no purpose that I can find. The documentation says "Mask and Look panels - The Mask panel is now placed next to the Look panel. WIth the masking and grading tools placed side-by-side, you can now work faster on the mask workflow." Is there a way to move, hide, or otherwise manipulate the panels for a custom layout? All the examples I can find on the Web show the Looks panel to the left of the Mask panel where the controls are available.

    Ok, here is what I have so far. Appdelete the iWork and reinstalled. Pages and Number work, but not Keynote.
    Now, I downloaded a couple apps that I need, and no matter what I did, the spinning ball came up and the download stopped till it unlocked itself. It is really frustrating because the download was not completed and whatever came through would not mount. Could this issue be the internet connection? Permission fix showed a lot of Airport issues. I will try to run permissions fix again.

  • How do I get SD video (4:3 aspect ratio) to fill the entire screen?

    Any 4:3 video I stream has black bars on either side of the picture. I have a Samsung HDTV, and I can stream content using its own pc to tv streaming software and 4:3 videos fill the entire screen. Or if I play a DVD with 4:3 aspect ratio that will also automatically fill the screen. With the Apple TV I cannot make it fill the entire screen. Is this something to do with the signal being transmitted over an HDMI cable?
    Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how have you resolved it?

    I know it is displaying 4:3 video correctly, however I'd prefer if there was some stretching (non-linear) so that it fills the entire screen. Having 2 big black bars on either side gets very annoying. There doesnt seem to be an option to fill the entire screen when streaming from the apple tv. There are options when streaming from Samsung's own software (I don't want to use samsungs pc share manager as the apple tv's user interface is much better).
    Are my options restricted because the signal is transmitted through an hdmi cable? Seems to be what other websites might be suggesting.

  • I've never dropped my phone for the 7 months that I've had it but last night I was at a park and when I sat down at a table, my phone as in my pocket and I heard a pop. I took my phone out and the entire screen was cracked. what should I do?

    Probably not, since user-caused damage isn't covered by the warranty. But you can take the iPhone to an Apple Store and see if there's anything they can do for you. A phone company store will not service your iPhone at all, to the best of my knowledge.

  • When I go into iTunes on my Mac is recently takes over the entire screen and I can not get rid of it.  Is there a setting I can change to have it work the old way?

    When I go into iTunes (the latest update) now, it takes over the entire screen is difficult to remove.  Is there a setting I can change in it to have it behave the old way?

    I presume you are runnning iTunes on either an OS X 10.7 or OS X 10.8 system. Move the cursor to the very top of the screen so that the menu bar appears, then click the blue box with the arrows at the very right corner of the menu bar, or press Shift-Command-F. That will switch iTunes back to a normal window, which it should then remember for future launches.
    Regards.

  • The picture from my AppleTv on my Samsung LCD TV doesn't fill the entire screen.  It is only a strip across the screen

    The picture on the screen when viewing movies on Apple TV on a samsung lcd screen is only a strip across the screen and doesn't fill the entire screen.  Any settings suggestions?

    If you can get to the settings on the AppleTV attempt to adjust the resolution settings to something more appropriate.

  • Template doesnt fit the entire screen in IE

    Hi
    I tried to use premade templates (both HTML and Flash) by inserting them in Dreamweaver. When I tried to preview in IE how it would look like, the template shows up fine, but it doesnt fill the entire screen. Right part of the screen is white.Does anybody know why it happens and how to fix it?
    Thanks

    Does the template have some sort of a <div> wrapper class? What are the margins set to? To get full screen there shouldn't be a width set in the css file to wrap your pages with.
    Hope this helps!

  • I have a 17" computer, and I'dlike to use the entire screen to view, but in order to do so, I have to press Control + several times at each site.

    I have a 17" computer, and I'dlike to use the entire screen to view, but in order to do so, I have to press Control + several times at each site. I don't want to use "full screen."
    Does anyone know how to set a default to maximize the screen? For some reason, the screen appears even smaller than my old 15" computer.

    Yes, it's a hassle to zoom every single site manually. You can "zoom" all sites using this add-on: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint]. After setting your Global zoom level, you can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.
    After installing NoSquint, click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.
    If you don't have the Add-on Bar displayed, you can right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.
    You can experiment with sizes larger than 125%, but I wouldn't go much higher than 150% unless you have a large high-resolution monitor.
    If there are particular sites that still present a problem, feel free to post their URLs.

  • When I make a mis-stroke screen images balloon up to fill the entire screen. how can I return them to normal?

    I don't know what I do to make the image blow up. They don;t fill the entire screen, but fill up the normal-sized screen. This has happened on two sites. How can I get them back to normal.

    Is this on Android or on the desktop? On Android, try double-tapping to zoom back out. On the desktop, to reset zoom, try Ctrl+0 (that's a zero).

  • Enlarging a Window To Fill The Entire Screen

    This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61474 says that Option + click on zoom button should enlarge a window to fill the screen. It doesn't. It enlarges in a way that is somehow proportional to the content but it won't fill the screen.
    Does anyone know a way to expand a window to fill the entire screen?

    Yeah. Isn't it though?
    If you're interested in the prescribed behavior here is the link to the Human Interface Guidelins for OS X:

    Look in the Windows/Window Behavior/Resizing and Zooming Windows section for more info about standard state and user state.

  • Is there an update to iOS 6? I've been having several technical issues since the upgrade. Uncontrolled zoom of the entire screen, Siri taking 25 seconds to respond and not recognizing names, locking up of the phone. All requiring a reset.

    I would restore with backup and if that doesn't fix it try as new

  • While playing an online flash game, the system froze, and a barred pattern flashed across the entire screen.

    I was forced to shut down the laptop using the power button. After starting up again, I was later playing the same game, and the system froze, The same barred pattern covered the screen, and this time the system emitted a loud beep, in patterns of 3, and continued to do so until i shut down the system with the power button.
    Later, while running Windows 7 via boot camp, encountered a similar problem. The entire screen was covered in multicolored noise, and then crashed within a few seconds.
    More on the barred pattern while in OS X:
    The bars are multicolored vertical bars, spread across the screen in probably aproximately 50x10px rectangles, evenly spaced, probably 10px vertically, and 50px horizontally. This is not an exact description, but the best I can serve from memory. Will provide better description after reproducing error.
    Given that a similar error occured in both OS X and Windows, I would assume this is a hardware issue.
    Hardware as follows:
    Hardware Overview:
      Model Name:          MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacBookPro8,1
      Processor Name:          Intel Core i5
      Processor Speed:          2.3 GHz
      Number of Processors:          1
      Total Number of Cores:          2
      L2 Cache (per Core):          256 KB
      L3 Cache:          3 MB
      Memory:          4 GB
      Boot ROM Version:          MBP81.0047.B0E
      SMC Version (system):          1.68f96

    I don´t want to kill your hope - but Apple is still ignoring anything about hard-freeze.
