    Buttons and Labels are quite different. In order to make Buttons transparent in the way you describe may require the use of layered windows which is far more sophisticated than just changing a colour.

    C++ programmers will dismiss you as a cretinous simpleton for your inability to keep track of pointers chained 6 levels deep and Java programmers will pillory you for buying into the evils of Microsoft. Meanwhile C# programmers will get paid just a little bit more than you for writing exactly the same code and VB6 programmers will continue to whitter on about "footprints". - FunkyDexter

    Ok that is good to know. I think I better stick with labels if I want the transparency. Thanks for your time and help Niya, greatly appreciated.

    You're very welcomed.

    I don't have the time now, but at some point if you'd like, I can come back and post some code using layered windows so you could make your buttons transparent. I have some code lying around somewhere that I wrote years ago that uses layered windows for special effects.

    Niya, that would be amazing. Its something else for me to learn from, so anything you have time for would be great. Thanks again!

    Yea it would take some time for me to find it and re-familiarize myself with how it works and whatnot since it's been years since I did this. But I'll see what I can do for you between today and tomorrow.
