Searching Answer For GUI-Coding

[zyclop]

Hi,

currently I am coding a launcher for my game...
few days ago I have seen a nice GUI, and now I have a problem:
I don't know how i can coding this textarea such like on the picture:

I don't know how I do the background transparent.

I am using Visual Studio 2005 and testing the new learnd language:
C# (.NET)

I have searched everywhere, but I found nothing. I want to know only how I can create a transparent TextBox or something like that on the picture.

I know that there is an own Board for .NET but I think this is not a .NET question. I'm sure it can be realized with VB or C++ too!

It's just like an edit box, with a transparent background. You can make edit boxes have transparent backgrounds, it's either a parameter of the function that adds the edit box or a function of the edit box itself that you can call.

In C# it is called RichTextBox... and it doesn't allow a transparent background... there will appear an error

I found out, that I can creat an own color with:

Code: Select all

Color customColor = Color.FromArgb(50, Color.Gray);

this is an nearly transparent grey. But I occurs the same error, when putting it on my TextBox -_-

why do u see it as "transparent" background? does the text box moves? if not, its just a cut-out, darkened version of the picture in the background

get the idea?
