    Question

    Hi!

    My problem is this. I have a webcam, i have a control to get the webcam picture in a form. Now, i need to put graphic over the webcamcontrol. So, the webcam control doesn´t support this. So i need to put a picturebox or a form "over" the webcampicture, and make the background transparent, so that i can display text and graphics over the filmed picture.

    Anybody got a clue?

    /Glenn

    Why don't you try with Label and Image control(s)? They are transparent...but is some cases they cannot be placed over other controls. In worst case, you'll have to create your own ActiveX control...

    Goto hotfiles.com (or download.com, shareware.com, etc...) and search for "VB Shaped Form Creator". It lets you make forms with transparent backgrounds.
    Ive seen a control that does it better, but I don't remember where.
