Property Value

Type: Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.BackStyle
One of the values of BackStyle (Opaque or Transparent). The default is Transparent.

Remarks

When the BackStyle property is set to Transparent (the default), the BackColor property has no effect.

Setting the BackgroundImage or FillStyle property overrides the setting of BackStyle.

Examples

The following example shows how to use the BackStyle property to switch back and forth between an opaque and transparent shape. This example requires that you have an OvalShape control named OvalShape1 on a form.

Private Sub OvalShape1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
 ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OvalShape1.Click
    ' Change between transparent and opaque. 
    If OvalShape1.BackStyle = PowerPacks.BackStyle.Transparent Then
        OvalShape1.BackStyle = PowerPacks.BackStyle.Opaque
        OvalShape1.BackColor = Color.LimeGreen
    Else
        OvalShape1.BackStyle = PowerPacks.BackStyle.Transparent
    End If 
End Sub

private void ovalShape1_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    // Change between transparent and opaque. 
    if (ovalShape1.BackStyle == BackStyle.Transparent)
    {
        ovalShape1.BackStyle = BackStyle.Opaque;
        ovalShape1.BackColor = Color.LimeGreen;
    }
    else
    {
        ovalShape1.BackStyle = BackStyle.Transparent;
    }
}
