Clearly if there's no "transparent" property for the textbox then it cannot be done!

Ill say one good thing about VB, It creates windows programs a hell of a lot easier than using Win32 and C++

CodeRed, Borland C++ Builder blows VB away... twice.

ugh, its just personal opinion, VB definatly has its place. Its a RAD type lang which makes it perfect for testing out win apps quickly. Anyway to my knowledge you cannot make text boxes transparent, you can however make labels have a transparent backround

Transparent text boxes would only be supported by WinXP anyways

BCB is also a RAD type language, with drag and drop components, except with some guts driving it.

If you were really despearte you could achieve a similar effect with a label and a lot of work: change appearance on getting\losing focus, have a blinking pipe character in there somewhere, move it back and forth with the arrow keys, add letters to the relevant place when a relevant key is pressed, and so on. I dunno why you'd bother.
