Transparent Textbox
« on: February 21, 2016, 08:26:50 PM »
Does a text box exist that has transparency? Everything else seems to have some transparency to it.

Do you need it for entering data? If not, a Label will accept a transparent backcolor.

Archie. Thank You for the support and the HMI. No, just text. I have slid in BasicLabel along with a regular Label and no dice. I have run into this before with the gauges not being transparent, I have no clue what I did but the transparency started working.

I just tested with a regular label in the All Windows Forms group and also a BasicLabel. I set the BackgroundColor to Transparent, then changed the BackColor of the form to see if the color showed through the label. Both times it worked. I wonder if it has anything to do with what looks like an image you are using for your form background.

I had a picture box over my form to display that img. "Mostly due to ignorance." I removed that PictureBox, inserted my image on the TabPage properties and all works great. Thanks for helping me!!!
