    How to place text over a picturebox

    Hi all.

    I am trying to place text over a picturebox. I thought I coul do this by
    making the textbox.backcol or property = color.transpare nt.

    However this doesn't work (textbox doesn't support transparent backcolor)
    and so I am wondering if anyone knows how I can do this.

    I need to be able to put multiple lines of text over the picturebox, so
    using labels won't do it.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Phil

      I don't know about textbox but label does support transparent background and
      it also supports multiline text.

          Hi, thanks for replying,

          I just had a look and cannot find a multiline property for label, are you
          sure there is one?
          Maybe I'm missing something really obvious, but...

              It's multiline by default. The property editor doesn't support multiline
              text, but if you pass a multiline string (containing "\r\n" per line break)
              programmaticall y, it renders correctly.

                  Ah !!

                  Just tried it - you're right. I didn't know that (obviously)

                  I guess that solve my problem - thanks.
