    Re: Make a textbox transparent

    You can find a rich text box in the control list, default is it's on the left.
    You can make a transparant text box by inserting a new normal textbox, and then changing two of it's properties.

    These are:
    VB Code:
    1. Text1.BorderStyle = 0 'In my version of VB this also changes the background colour of the textbox to match the forms colour. This removed the border You can also do this in design view, type in the above to do this in runtime.
    2. Text1.BackColor = -2147483643 'This sets the background of the textbox to the default colour for forms in Windows XP. In design view, set the backcolour setting to "Button Face"
    So to clarify, In runtime include

    VB Code:
    1. Text1.BorderStyle = 0
    2. Text1.BackColor = -2147483643

    and in design view set the BackColour to "Button Face" and the borderstyle to "0 - None"
    If, somehow, I help you, please rate the post using the scales icon in the left bar <---- .
