That's not quite *all* of what I said Mike, now you are splitting hairs.
No I am not splitting hairs, Scotty. I have posted EXACTLY what you said,
and so far you have ignored it. You are telling lies again. I'll say it
again Scotty, since you are currently lying about it. The following is
EXACTLY what I posted the other day. The OP asked:
"Does anyone have any sample code on how to draw
a semi transparent image as a watermark on a multiline
textbox?"
.. . . and you replied:
"When you use Windows Forms controls, you must use
them as is. Meaning there is no way to do it".
Stop lying, Scotty. The above is *exactly* what you said, as I have
mentioned before.
I specifically talked about the System.Windows.Forms controls and
said that using them as it does not provide a way to do it.
I'll take it that you meant to say "as is" rather than just "as" in the
above statement Scotty, otherwise it does not make sense, even in Australia.
But you are lying again, Scotty. You did not merely say that using them as
is does not provide a way to do it. In fact the OP did not ask about using
the control "as is" and you put those words into your reply yourself and you
told the OP that he ***MUST*** use them "as is". You also told him that
there is no way to do what he asked. Your EXACT WORDS are as I have quoted
above. Stop lying Scotty. Just admit you were wrong and then stop lying
about it. You'll feel better for it. The OP is now in a position to do what
he had asked, a position he would not be in if he had believed your lies and
if he had not waited for a better response from others. You did not help the
OP at all, Scotty, and you lied to him (unless of course you simply did not
know how to do it yourself, which is what I personally think, and that you
are now frightened to admit it). There's no shame in not knowing something,
Scotty. It happens to us all, lots of times. Just admit it, and stop telling
lies.
I interpreted the question to be asking if there was a built in way
to do it with the Textbox provided in .NET out of the box.
Well if you misinterpreted the OP's question then that's your own fault,
Scotty. Don't try to blame other people for your own mistakes. The OP never
mentioned the phrase "as is", nor did he mentionn the phrase "out of the
box", nor the phrase "built in way" or anything even remotely similar, and
neither did he imply any of those phrases. The exact words the OP used were,
"Does anyone have any sample code on how to draw a semi transparent image as
a watermark on a multiline textbox?" and you told him that it could not be
done. Just admit that you made a mistake, Scotty, and that you were wrong.
Just stop lying Scotty. Here, again, is EXACTLY what the OP said, and
EXACTLY what you said in your response to him.
The OP said:
"Does anyone have any sample code on how to draw
a semi transparent image as a watermark on a multiline
textbox?"
.. . . and you replied:
"When you use Windows Forms controls, you MUST use
them as is. Meaning there is no way to do it".
Come on, Scotty. Don't be scared. Just admit you were wrong. You'll feel
better for it.
Mike
