well, one thing in other development platforms seems you can set the
control's backgroun to be transparent...perhaps that can be of use to you
here. if you have that option in RB....

Subject: Urgent Screen Layout Options (Composite)
I've come across a big problem that could stuff up my whole current
project if I can't fix it. My client has decided that all his screens
must have a background image. I try to talk him out of it, but no go.
So, easy I think, just set the backdrop and away we go. We Ok that's the
theory and documentation. Well, doing this gives you white boxes around
controls such as Radio controls etc, which looks stupid. Well, I do some
more research and find that maybe I need to set the Compsite parameter on
the Window options. Aha, that seems to work fine on my Mac, however I'm
building this app for Windows and when it runs on Windows the stupid
boxes come back.
To me this seems like a really basic bug with Real Basic, or is there
something else I should be doing? The background image is a pretty
simple concept and having see through controls on it again pretty
straight forward and something everyone must want to do at some stage?
I now have an urgent project to complete and I've no idea how to do it.
I really can't believe that it doesn't work at all for Windows? I do
hope not or I'm in trouble, it looks totally stupid with the boxes around
controls. Mind you, last time I had a problem there wasn't an answer!
Yikes...
Any help? Desperate....
