Question with Opacity

[daimous]

hi guys! i have a question. Is it posible to set the opacity of my form to 10% but the controls/Objects with in it, like Textbox, Button, Etc, will still be 100% visible? In other words, is it posible to adjust the opacity of my form without affecting the visibility of my Controls/Objects? Thanks in advance!

No it's not possible. Opacity affects every control on a form equally. You can make parts of your form completely transparent and others not using the TransparencyKey property but that's all.

Ok. Thanks for that JM.

You'd have to paint the form manually using regions.
