Hi.

I have a richtextbox created in the design view.
I coded several things for it and now I realised I need it to be transparent.

I found some TranbsparentRTB class codes and inserted one in my project (it inherits the RichTextBox class).

My problem is how to tell it that the excepbox wich is defined as System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox is now a TransparentRichTextBox...
I changed in Form.Designer.vb to Me.excepBox = New TransparentRichTextBox but then several errors appear on another locations because it treats it like a 1-dimensional array...

Where is my error?
the way I call the class?

any (basic) help is appreciated.
Thanks
