If its background get transparent, we can pile data with a video's screen. Can't we do?
I want informations.
if someone knows about it, tell me. please.
 
I am not sure what you are asking. Can you provide more detail?
 
Thank you for a reply.
I mean,
for example,
you paste Windows Media Player(ActiveX control) on a Form,
in the next step you put a text box for some kind of information.
And you guess that an information data is displayed on a screen, but you can't even if you set the property of the text box transparent.
I think I can make myself understood.
 
If I understand your example correctly, there is an active x control for Win Media Player on a form. Next, is a txtBox that you would like to make transparent on the form, but for whatevery reason, it won't become or stay transparent?

 
That is the very point that I really wish to complain about or request to Microsoft Team, if impossible.
I think it is best if it is possible to dually display various informations on the according active views.

Thank you.
 
It sounds like you are using bound objects on your forms. Have you tried using individual lablels, text boxes and the such?
 
I tried with an unbound text box and label, but in vain.
Media Player's screen covers and make blind an text box or a label.

It may be impossible as you say.

Thank you.
 
I wonder if the Media player control is laying over top your text/labels. On the load event try modifying the controls locations and see if you can get them to display above or belowthe Media Player control.
 
Even if both text boxs and labels are laid above Media Player, ............

Thank you.
