[RESOLVED] Form Opacity

**BruceR** · Sep 22nd, 2011, 06:49 AM

It should be simple to do but this does not work.

Code:

 Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        Me.Opacity = CDbl(50)


    End Sub

The only way I can make the form semi-transparent is to set the form's property explicitly.

As you were. I found the answer in WROX Programmers Reference.

Value needs to be floating point between 0 and 1.

Me.Opacity = 0.5
