You can use the Transparent property to specify whether a command button is solid or transparent.
Tip Use the BackStyle property to make other controls solid or transparent.
Setting
The Transparent property uses the following settings.
| Setting | Visual Basic | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Yes | True (–1) | The button is transparent. |
| No | False (0) | (Default) The button is solid. |
You can set this property by using the command button's property sheet, a macro, or Visual Basic.
Remarks
You can use this property to place a transparent command button over another control. For example, you could place several transparent buttons over a picture displayed in an image control and run various macros or Visual Basic event procedures depending on which part of the picture the user clicks.
Note To hide and disable a button, use the Visible property. To disable a button without hiding it, use the Enabled property. To hide a button only when a form or report is printed, use the DisplayWhen property.
