I have an issue where i have an image control which I am flashing on my screen. The issue I am having is that a testbox is in the same area as the image and I cannot seem to change the zorder of the image or text box such that the image is in front of the text box. Is there a way to make the image cover the text box control? Thanks

Hi B,

>>Is there a way to make the image cover the text box control?<<
Image.ZOrder only works for image controls, so it is only usefull if you have several image controls on a form.
Either use a picturebox control or set the .Visible property of the text control to False

My issue with using a picture box is that I do not know how to have an irregular shaped image. For instance when using the image control I populate it with a picture of a STOP sign and use a .GIF file so I can make all of the corners transparent. This way the portion of the screen that it hides is just the shape of the stop sign. Can I do this same thing with a PictureBox? Thanks

Try using the .Visible property of the textbox control instead.
Here's an example:

Private Sub ShowImage(boo As Boolean)
'Show only Image1 or Text1
'True = show Image1, False = show Text1
Image1.Visible = boo
Text1.Visible = Not boo
End Sub

Thanks, that would work if the entire textbox was under the stop sign, but I actually have a number of text boxes in the area and some are partially blocked so it looks a little strange when I do this. I take it from your reply that you cannot use the transparent background on a picture box like you can on an image box? Thanks for the suggestions

Well, it can be done but it needs some coding.

What if you put all the textboxes into a Frame control, set the Frame.BorderStyle = 0 and use the Sub ShowImage() given earlier to display either the image or the textboxes.

thanks, that could work I was just hoping there was a way to bring the image to the front. I see if I can rearrange some of the controls to get what I am looking for. Thanks for the help
