Well it's already meant to be and as I said works fine on the Mac, just the build for Windows.

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....
