Opacity of Form in VB.Net in Visual Studio 2005

I'm trying to make my main forms opacity 50% on the click event of my buttons but I can not do it. Would appreciate assistance.

There should be a property of the form called Opacity. You can set this to a value between 0 and 1. 0 being invisible, 1 being opaque.

So, in your button click event handler:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Me.Opacity = .5
  2.

exactly as insertalias said but if you want to set the original opacity back again after the buttons events were finished do something like...

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
  2.         Me.Opacity = 0.5
  3.  
  4.         'any code here necessary
  5.  
  6.         Me.Opacity = 1
  7.  
  8.     End Sub

and it will make the form half transparent and when the button's events are finished returns the original opacity to the form
