Thanks for all that help.
Great! There's always a chance you accidently changed something, why your "version" didn't work. I used the same project, so it's a bit weird.

The whole idea behind the XpControls is to enable VB6 programmers to create true theme aware Tab dialogs, like property pages, Option dialogs etc. That's why the "transparency" focuses on that and not just any background. It will work (eventually) tho.

XpControls.ocx is a work in progress and much improved since I released the source you've tried. At the moment I'm working on a transparent scrollable lable, that looks just like a Textbox, but read only.

I'm considering to add a Tab control as well, that way you'll have one control to create great looking themed dialogs.

I wish you luck with VB 2008, I've been playing with it and the code hardly looks like VB6, it is more a new language all together.

Take care,
