Transparent Picturebox

[Delboy]

I am a total beginner, so please forgive me if my question dumb.

I need to make a picturebox transparent & enabled while it is overlaying another control (a RichText box) so the user to draw shapes.

So far I have been unable to make the overlay transparent. Any ideas?

If by tansparent you mean so that they could still see the text on the textbox, I don't think that's possible unless you copy the text into the picturebox control.

Look at this for examples.
