Label text glow - Cyb3rNuX - 08-08-2017
So i have just regular label and i want it to glow in black color.
Any ideas how to do this? I think it has to do something with GDI+, whatever that means xD

Well, if you have Photoshop, you can add an outer glow. I don't remember exactly how to do it but I've done it for one of my signatures. Don't have it on currently because of Photobucket. I used Photoshop CS5 to do it.

I need to make it glow through coding, not other software.

You have to draw the label using multiple layers.
The first layer you draw the text as a shadow/glow.
The 2nd layer you draw your regular text on top of the glow.
The label control in this project can do maybe what your looking for:
