How to create transparent forms and other controls

5 New Member
I would like my program to be something like a glass type background. Something similar with Windows 7 OS. What tool should I use to create transparent portions on forms?.
please answer my question.

I am using Visual Basic 6

thank you!

Not sure about making parts of a form transparent, but in our Insights section we have a post from 2007 about making a form transparent.

ok sir.. thank you for the link.
It sure is very helpful!

what I mean with the portions are the objects inside the form like command button,label, etc.

I don't remember a lot about this, but it's often the case that what can be done to a form can be done to other containers such as a picturebox. So maybe it's possible to use picturebox controls as containers, and fade those.
