Well a button is technically a window so maybe you can try using the same strategy. What did you find on it?

Hi,

You can add a picture box to the form, add image and set the dock property to fill, you can also use the property SizeMode as StretchImage.

hope this will help

hi all...
thanks for your reply.

i got a form, by default there is no background image. here i want to add an image as background, and top of this image i want some text box some buttons etc...

if i add an image in picture box, then i wont be able to add text boxes and buttons on top of it... that is why i'm in search of what i'm searching.

Yes you can, but in theory the buttons etc would be sitting on the picture box wouldn't they?

Can you not use Visual Studio's "Bring to Front" option on your textboxes to move them in front of the picture box?
