MS Access Forum / General 1 / December 2005Gradientfill from lebans.com and subforms
There is a really cool utility at www.lebans.com that allows you to apply a gradient to the background colour on a form à la .NET style. Does anyone know how to apply it so that a subform picks up the colour gradient from the main form at the point the subform is located. At present, I can only get a subform to do so if I have the subform right across the form with the gradient set to horizontal (or presumably the subform reaching from top to bottom with the gradient set to vertical). Presumably, I could work out the location of the subform with regard to the main form and rejig the gradient on the subform manually, but that is beyond my brainpower. Cheers, Alan Cossey If I understand your request Alan I do not see how it could be done. If I remember correctly the Subform control is actually rendered before the Main form.

It would mean having to manually "cut out" that part of the bitmap used for the main form once that has been done and then reassign that as the bitmap for the subform with some code???? Or something like that.

The vertical version needs a bit of fiddling with as I think the application title bar upsets my calculations a bit (when not using a form with borderstyle set to None), so I've bunged in a fudge factor. If you are interested, I can send you a copy. Alan Cossey > Hi Stephen, > Yes, I think you are right.
