View 2 RepliesI am working with cases, I'm only learning it so far, but just can't get a drop down menu to work that would change the background of a Textbox.
Private Sub cbColours_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cbColours.SelectedIndexChanged
Select Case colours
Case Is = "Red"
txtSpace.BackColor = Color.Red

It isn't doing anything at all...
In the dropdown menu, it has
Red, Blue and Green one per line
When the value (e.g. Green) is clicked, it will then change the Textbox to the colour selected.

If "SalesPersonID" = "1" Then
cevent.className = "Steve"
ElseIf "SalesPersonID" = "2" Then

there is 1 problem that i keep trying to sort out but cant quite do it, this is in a form is there a way to make the background to it transparent? thus see all the pictureboxes, buttons, labels,etc. inside the form but not the form itself? the only things i can think of is opacity and visible however those just don't show anything in the form at all. if I try change the backcolor to transparent it ends up with an error as to what i can understand(correct me if i'm wrong) only controls and childs can have transparent backgrounds.
