Has anyone succeeded in making the background of a label transparent or in
giving a label a background image? I want text to appear with a background
image. I tried a separate label for the background, but the grey background
of the label with text in it shows up.
(I'm on Win95; I don't know whether NT/2000 or XP works differently in
regard to transparency.)
BTW, in my attempts to do this, I discovered an interesting quirk which I
suspect is part of Windows itself: if I set my background label to
CLIPSIBLINGS, and then place a button in front of it, the label receives the
click instead of the button. The solution was to place the code for the
button before the code for the label (and keep CLIPSIBLINGS set on the
label); then the button showed up through the label and clicking worked
properly. Don't know if this has been posted before, but in case it hasn't
and someone else has this problem, that's how you fix it.
