  Set its FlatAppearance.Border to 0 and the BackGround to Transparent, FlatStyle = Flat and no text. So it should be transparent but clickable.

  Or you could use a Label control with a transparent backcolor. I think ;)

  Also, I get this when i try to change flat aperance/button border to transparent in the properties:

  ButtonBase controls do not support setting the BorderColor to Transparent.

  Make a label with blank text as shown below:

  <Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.DesignerGenerated()> _

  Partial Class Form1

  Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

  'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.

  <System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCode()> _

  Protected Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)

  If disposing AndAlso components IsNot Nothing Then

  components.Dispose()

  End If

  MyBase.Dispose(disposing)

  End Sub

  'Required by the Windows Form Designer

  Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer

  'NOTE: The following procedure is required by the Windows Form Designer

  'It can be modified using the Windows Form Designer.

  'Do not modify it using the code editor.

  <System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> _

  Private Sub InitializeComponent()

  Me.Label1 = New System.Windows.Forms.Label

  Me.SuspendLayout()

  '

  'Label1

  '

  Me.Label1.AutoSize = True

  Me.Label1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(0, 0)

  Me.Label1.Name = "Label1"

  Me.Label1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(52, 13)

  Me.Label1.TabIndex = 0

  Me.Label1.Text = " "

  '

  'Form1

  '

  Me.AutoScaleDimensions = New System.Drawing.SizeF(6.0!, 13.0!)

  Me.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font

  Me.ClientSize = New System.Drawing.Size(292, 266)

  Me.Controls.Add(Me.Label1)

  Me.Name = "Form1"

  Me.Text = "Form1"

  Me.ResumeLayout(False)

  Me.PerformLayout()

  End Sub

  Friend WithEvents Label1 As System.Windows.Forms.Label

  End Class

  Public Class Form1

  Private Sub Label1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label1.Click

  MsgBox("test")

  Talldude, I found a way to do this that will fit my needs, but, now I have a new similar problem.

  1. If i make a label with spaces it shows up as a grey rectangle

  2. To fix the buttons I just took a screenshot, edited out the parts I didn't want in Paint, then used that as a button image.

  3. Now I need a TextBox that you can type in, but transparent. I'll try the image editing thing, but I don't think it will work...

  If your form had it's default settings, with

  a background color of 'control' and no

  background images or the like added, then

  the label would have appeared as 'invisible.'

  If you keep the default settings, and change the

  textbox backcolor to 'control' and change it's

  border style to 'none', it will also appear 'invisible.'

  You though, probably want to take a different path.

  So I may not have solutions.

  If you need additional help, you may want to find the

  Form1.Designer.vb (the InitializeComponent part)

  and post it, as well as your form1.vb code for

  others to see what you are up to.

  Good luck!

  Just add a label to form1 and make it's text

  about 10 blanks. Then:

  Public Class Form1

  Private Sub Label1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Label1.Click

  MsgBox("test")

  End Sub

  End Class

  I just get a flat, grey, simple, clickape rectangle....but not transparent...
  

• Mantorok

  I am showing you the 'InitializeComponent' partial class first.

  That part is normally created automatically as you add things

  to your form.

  The Form1 code (the code the programmer normally

  types) is the last little part at the end.

  Instead of using a button just use the underlying control, and when the user clicks check if it's in the wanted rectangle area.

  if rectangle.contains(x,y) then

  doStuff

  end if
