Transparent form but not controls

Ali Rizwan

Hi all,
I want to know how I can make form transparent but not the controls on it.
If there are buttons then only form will be transparent but not the buttons they should be opaque or non-transparent.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have made transparency to my form but it set transprancy to the controls on the form too. I want to see my controls opaque but my form is transparent.
My buttons have no background they are simple command buttons.
One thing controls can be textboxes, comboboxes, imagebox, filelist or buttons.
Thanks

Is it possible to set the background of a usercontrol as transparent? I tried setting the background image of the usercontrol to a transparent GIF, but that caused MAJOR problems. I'm making some controls that aren't rectangular and it won't be pretty if I end up with a grey rectangle behind each one. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vbcon/html/vbtskGivingYourControlTransparentBackground.asp?frame=true

I've been complaing about the VB2005 Help-Information (or rather the lack of it) before, but when I was looking how to set the backstyle of a label control to "Transparent" I found that the VB2005 documentation has reached an all-time low (please note the part about the z-order): MSDN: In Visual Basic 6.0, the BackStyle property of the Label control determines whether the label had a transparent background. Setting the BackStyle...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
