Transparent button

[Steve]

Hiya

I have serveral buttons that I need to make transparent. I know how to
change the colour but there is not an option to make it transparent. Can it
be done or do I have to use an image?

Hi Steve

If you just want the button to be transparent you can change the
backstyle property to fmBackStyleTransparent in the controls
properties panel.

Hope this helps you out.

Works great!

thx

I'm surprised you find it works, for me the fmBackStyleTransparent in a
Worksheet control does not persist after clicking it, reverts to its opaque
backcolor.

If later you find the same occurs for you, try assigning a macro to shape,
format the shape's Fill to 'no color' to make it transparent. In
Autoshapes/Basic shapes there's a double rectangle that can be made to look
like a button, format the line colour as well.

Regards,

Hi Peter T

I just tried it there and was shocked to find this to be true!!! it's
very strange, i know it works fine on userforms. I would agree with
you that the best option here for Steve would be to just create his
own button using shapes.

I wonder why the button reverts as on checking the backstyle is still
set to 0 after the click event

Thanks for the heads up on that one
