Transparency or Opacity of a Single Control

[David Hearn]

I would like to have a button or image on one of my forms that has an
opacity of about 50% and then fades in as you pass your mouse onto it,
kind of like the login buttons in Windows XP. Any way of doing this?

Thanks in advance!

Might want to look in to writing a custom control for this purpose.

You'll have to write that on your own (UserControl, background picture,
foreground picture). GDI+ provides method to draw pictures
semi-transparently.
