Watermarking a textbox

[Mike Williams]

I really don't think you understand what the word "lie" means
because you use it everytime you "disagree" with something
I've said.

No. I use it when you deliberately and repeatedly fail to admit that you are
wrong, Scotty, even when you know that you are wrong, and when you attempt
to wriggle out of your lie by twisting what you have said. You are a liar,
Scotty.

You are lying again, Scotty. Your reply was not merely "about" using the
Cotrol "as is". The OP asked how to perform a specific task, without even
once mentioning wanting to use a Control "as is", and your reply
specifically said that the OP ***MUST*** use the Control "as is", and that
the job could not be done, which is simply not true on either count. You
were wrong, Scotty. Simply wrong. Why are you finding it so difficult to
admit that you were wrong!

Listen Mike, you have misunderstood my reply. That's obvious. I can't help
you with that since you're real objective is to just bash me.

Stop begging, Scotty. Why on Earth should I do that? The OP never asked
about using a Control "as is" or "out of the box" to perform that task he
had asked about, and I never once mentioned anything about him being able
to do so. In fact the code at the link I posted made it abundantly clear
that the Control's behaviour must be modified in order to perform the task
he wanted to do,

So, with a System.Windows.Forms.Textbox used as is, it can't be done.

Listen Mike, you have misunderstood my reply.

No I haven't. Your reply was extremely clear. It just happens to be wrong.
Here it is again (for at least the fourth time):

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 Scott replied:

"When you use Windows Forms controls, you must use them
as is. Meaning there is no way to do it."

You answered the OP's question to the best of your ability and your answer
was wrong. That in itself is not a problem, Scotty. The problem is in your
failure to admit that you were wrong. Just admit it, Scotty. Surely it isn't
so hard for you to do that? Did someone here say that you are a teacher? If
so, and if you have the same attitude when teaching your pupils, then you
must be a very bad teacher, insisting as you do on saving face rather than
admitting any of your mistakes. In fact it makes you one of the worst kind
of teachers there is, deliberately leading your pupils astray and doing them
a disservice simply in order to keep your own over inflated ego intact.

Interesting that you snipped the other part of my reply and brused it off
earlier, which just happens to be the part that proves you misunderstood and
that what I said was correct.

Keep going to those reading comprehension classes, Kevin. They are bound to
pay off sooner or later.

Interesting that you snipped the other part of my reply
and brused [sic!] it off earlier . . .

No I did not. I did not "brush it off", as you so quaintly put it. I
paraphrased your question and I answered it. This (again!) is exactly what I
posted:

You said . . .

"please tell me how to add a watermark to a
System.Windows. Forms.Textbox as it is,
out of the box."

And I replied . . .

"Stop begging, Scotty. Why on Earth should I do that?
The OP never asked about using a Control "as is" or
"out of the box" to perform that task he had asked about,
and I never once mentioned anything about him being
able to do so."

That is not "brushing it off", Scotty. That is "telling it like it is". But
your question to me (above) is NOT the question asked by the OP. It is your
own irrelevant question that you have made up yourself in order to cover
your tracks and to hide from the fact that you gave the OP the wrong answer
to the question he DID ask. Of course I cannot tell you how to make a
Control "out of the box" perform a task that it is not capable of performing
in its "out of the box" condition. Stop trying to cloud the issue by making
up questions that the OP did not ask.

In his original post the OP asked a specific question and you gave him a
specific answer. Your answer was wrong. Do I really need to post that again
for you, Scotty!!! Okay, it would appear that I do, because you have not yet
properly responded to any of the other four or five times I have posted it
already. Are you ready . . .

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 Scott replied:

"When you use Windows Forms controls, you MUST use them
as is. Meaning there is NO WAY to do it."

Your answer is wrong, Scotty. Simple as that. What are you trying to prove,
Scotty. Are you stupid, or are you just confused? I'm beginning to suspect
the former. Either way, your habit of failing to admit that you are wrong
and of insisting as you do on deliberately failing to tell the truth in
order to personally save face rather than admitting any of your mistakes
makes you one of the worst kind of teachers there is (if you really are a
teacher?), deliberately leading your pupils astray and doing them a
disservice simply in order to keep your own over inflated ego intact.

Keep going to those reading comprehension classes, Kevin.

That to me proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are a liar, Scotty. A
liar and a troll.
