Hi

Does anyone know how to make the background of a control transparent so you can see the form's picture???

Thanks

You can't do that with most controls, since it's reasonably assumed that the user would like to be able to see them clearly. However, if it's a label, set the Backstyle property to Transparent.

Yes I know,

Is it possible with a bit of alpha blending or a similar technique??

Thanks
