[RESOLVED] Displaying text on a picturebox

I need a control for displaying text (coordinate values) as I move the mouse over a picturebox. I had thought of a label but I want to have more than one line. A multiline textbox won't work because it stays in the background underneath the picturebox so it's not visible. Any ideas?

...and labels are nice because their backstyle can be set to transparent, otherwise maybe I'd use a picturebox.

Not sure exactly what you are trying to achieve, but if you want to use a lable, then set its autosize property to true, the use VBCrLF for multi-line use, eg,

Lable1.caption = "This is on line one" & vbcrlf & "This is on line two".

Hope this is what you are wanting.

Labels can have multiple lines.

Code:

---

Private Sub Form_Load()
    With Label1
        .AutoSize=True
        .BackStyle = vbTransparent
    End With
End Sub

Private Sub Form_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    Label1.Caption = "X: " & X & vbNewLine & "Y: " & Y
End Sub

Thank you jsmcm and brucevde. I thought I'd use vbcrlf for new lines but I must have done something strange for when I tried it didn't work (and I was sober) so I had already given up the idea.
