I have a login form with a background image. The image is OK during coding but not perfect when run. Now, I tried to superimpose two textboxes on it, one for username and one for password. However, unlike a normal form there is no caret in any textbox even when clicked. Though text can be entered in the textboxes, the characters are also say blurred.
Can anyone please help!

Greetings, What you need to indicate is the meaning of superimpose two textboxes by explaining what you did. Most likely the method(s) used is the problem.
Hi Kevin. I am sorry. I should not have used the word 'superimpose' because in fact I am not superimposing anything. I just wanted to make a nice login form. So, I searched the web and came across some good ones at: http://dzineblog.com/2009/03/interfa...m-designs.html.
I chose one (unblbab one on the site) and saved it as a picture (png). I next created a form in vb and inserted the picture as background for my form.(I hope this is not plagiarism ).
At the location in the picture where there is the username and password boxes, I placed two textboxes. Now, when I run the program, I am faced with 3 problems:
1. The picture is kind of spotted. I suppose a resolution issue.
2. The textboxes have no carets, even when clicked.
3. Letters can be inserted in the textboxes but they appear blurred. I don't know if it is a resolution issue once again.
Regards.

Which image from the link you gave is the login form you are looking to mimic?
It is entitled 'unblbab". In fact I do not want to mimic as such but just use the login form on the site as a background image and place my username and password textboxes at the location where they are on the picture. However, I don't know what I did, but it is now working. I suppose it is because of the form's BackgroundImageLayout property which was not well set.
Look at the attached VS2008 project (open in VS2010 and allow it to be upgraded) which has a background image I just slapped together using Adobe Fireworks. There are two TextBox controls for user name and password. The only functional code is for the cancel button. All controls work as they should.
