    Resolved [RESOLVED] MaskColor issues

    Hi,

    Having problems with making part of cmdbutton transparent.

    The form during runtime (obv the colour scheme is temporary for solving this problem lol)

    The properties of all I've set up:

    What I'm trying to do is have the white sections of the cmdbutton show through the red form background

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for your time

    Re: MaskColor issues

    Maybe you should tell us what the end result is suppose to look like? From what you posted, I don't understand what the problem is exactly.

    Edited: You updated your post so now I understand.

    Maskcolors will not make the button transparent in any areas. You will most likely want to create a custom usercontrol which will enable masking to make parts of the usercontrol transparent.
