Hey everyone,
Is it possible for me to set the opacity of a button or textbox? I know that you can set the opacity for a form, but I'm not so sure about a button or textbox.
Thanks
A:
Just set the Alpha level in your RGBA setting for the color of the control. The code will look something like this:
Control.Backcolor = Color.FromArgb(255, 255, 255, 255)
The first value passed into the FromArgb method is the Alpha. A high value will mean high opacity whereas a low value will mean a high transparency. You may need to set the control's Forecolor property as well if you want that to be transparent, too.

No, opacity is not a button property, it's inherited from whatever the form is set to. I don't know of any way of doing this short of "faking it" by using an image of a button faded to appear translucent.

On your form that the control rests on, set TransparencyKey to a color (ex: Fuchsia), then make your control's background color as Fuchsia. You're welcome.
