Watermark effect on window

[Hamimah Halil]

Looking for codes that can make an application to have a watermark effect. I would like to put a window frame onto the background of an application like ms excel. This window have an image, buttons and other controls. The user of the application could type over the window.

Can anyone please help me?

Set AutoRedraw to true.
Apply the background.
Set AutoRedraw to False.
After Form_Activate(), you can put text on the screen with the simple Print statement.
When you execute the Cls statement, all text disappears, but the background remains the same.
To clear the background, use LoadPicture().
