Re: transparent text controls

| Ahh i see. Thnak you.
Here is the problem though ... the image in the backround is a gradient which will be impossible to match. When i first tried to put this image of a gradient on my form i set it to the form background the only problem was that as the form resized and the
gradient didn't. Instead the it just put another picture of it. So i got some advice to put an image on the form and set the anchor property to 6 container. Do you or anyone else have any ideas how i can put an image in the backround and see through t
he outline of my text boxes?
Thanks again
Chris

| Chris,
Are you trying to have a _resizable_ form, or just to get your image
to fit a _fixed_ size form.
If it's a fixed size form, use a graphics program to resize the image
to the size you need. Then set it as the form background.
If you want the form resizable, maybe someone else has a solution
