Transparency

[Bob Hollness]

Transparent textboxes? Is it possible? When I try to set the Alpha of the
colour it tells me that the control does not support transparency. If not,
is there any other way I can do this?

Create a new form with a label called Label1. Copy and paste this code into
your project:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal _
e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim Img As Bitmap = New Bitmap(1, 1)
BackgroundImage = Img
TransparencyKey = Img.GetPixel(0, 0)
Label1.BackColor = Color.Transparent
End Sub

OK, this is great for labels, but I need to use textboxes as the end user
will be entering text into these fields!

Is this possible?

Thanks
