Anybody????? LOL Use WS_EX_TRANSPARENT on the RichTextBox and then place an Image Control behind it (rather than a PictureBox) and all your troubles will be little ones ;-) If you want a solid back colour instead of a picture then simply assign a picture of a suitably sized solid block of colour to the Image Control. Each time you change the contents of the Image Control (each time you change its Picture property) then follow the change with a DoEvents and a RichTextBox.Refresh. Mike
