transparent textbox

heh how can i make my textbox transparent so the user will be typing on the the background piction.. thanks

The simplest way is to set BorderStyle to None and BackColor to Form.BackColor.

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.
