    Question with Opacity

    hi guys! i have a question. Is it posible to set the opacity of my form to 10% but the controls/Objects with in it, like Textbox, Button, Etc, will still be 100% visible? In other words, is it posible to adjust the opacity of my form without affecting the visibility of my Controls/Objects? Thanks in advance!

    No it's not possible. Opacity affects every control on a form equally. You can make parts of your form completely transparent and others not using the TransparencyKey property but that's all.

    You'd have to paint the form manually using regions.
