transparent label control ?

[trisLOGIC]

How can we put some text on the form with an image as a background with the background of the text surrounding blend to the background of the form ?

The only method I know is to make transparent GIF text and put them as image. But this is very troublesome if I need to move or change the word constantly.

Thx.

Easiest way: Take a label and set it's BackStyle to transparent...

You could also draw text with the print method, but you have to manage it by yourself if you want to change the text...

Hehe.. I got to know the solution after I posted my earlier problem when I do some searching in MSDN. Quite a dumb question I must say.

BTW- thanks.

Well, there are many ways to make transparent pictures. I'm using BitBlt, but you can also use DirectX or even simple sprite controls...

I'll upload a sprite sample soon, if I remember to make it

I emailed to you yesterday. Did you get my mail ?
