The problem with this is that the textbox will still be opaque (however it's spelled

I don't think it's possible with a normal textbox.

You can try to fake something using a Label

You can place the Cursor in an invsible textfiled and in the Change event you transfer the Text to the Caption property of the label, i think this is not a beauty way, but the only possible way if you dont want to write your own Textbox control

You can't. In order to make a textbox transparent, you need the Backstyle Property. When you're working with a textbox, this property doesn't show up.
