Transparent text box.

Hi. Does anyone know how to create one effect.
When I choose a text in combobox, a richtextbox gets a new text loaded
to it. But it is not transparent. VB.NET 2005 desn't allow me to do it.
Is any other way to have transparent textbox?

Thnks.

some suggestions, briefly.

Thanks.

I had some issues with transparency of controls in the past.... found that
the following was needed in the constructor for the form. It's been quite
some time since this particular issue was solved, ... I don't really recall
all of the details, but maybe it will give a push in the right direction.

SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColo r, True)
