There is actually a few ways to do this, the main 1 being use of the APi, but if you are lookign for a sneeky alternative, u can create a custom control.
and in the custom control, use the line tool, to create a frame like border, and a caption box to create the look of the frame text..although this meathod (unless properly worked on), will not have the total funcationatie of a normal frame, but it would work fine unless you need to use a frame for anythign complecated.

nothing complicated... but i already bound my textboxes to them lol.
So eeeermmmm cwap. There is not a colour (or better a NON colour) in the colour list present?
Thats is pretty unlucky then for me.
Hey mate Thanks for your info
I wish there was....
as i say the only other way to do it would be to use the API, there are a few tutorials on here which could help you out if you run a search on "transparent API"
Re: Transparent frame possible?? [resolved (on a alternative way) :)]
Hello Deepa/Rhino Bull,
I tried both loading the transparent OCX and implementing the code that RB supplied, but the neither frame control method is showing as transparent. Do I need to change some system and/or VB setting to affect transparency?
Re: Transparent frame possible?? [resolved (on a alternative way) :)]
hi Keith...
I persume that u have visited my thread at http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=399890..( from where u got the ocx)
this works just great for me..no coding.. nothing else... just change the backstyle property to transparent...
However the transparencey of the frame is seeen only at runtime
at design mode the transparent-frame ""looks-like"" normal frame
RhinoBull
You can use BitBlt and some other APIs to mimic transparent frame.
...vbcode.. etc
here i think RB's code needs to be worked independently..perhaps he did not have the ocx when the message was posted
may be both ocx.. and RB's code are not complementry to each other
try using them independtly
Re: Transparent frame possible?? [resolved (on a alternative way) :)]
Guys,
one more time and only to clarify thigs: VB6's Frame control DOES NOT support transparency - as I said you may only mimic it by using technic similar to what i've posted. That's the end of story.
