Hi chang,

From what I understand you want a regular button that has an image over it that acts like the Internet Explorer toolbar. While you can't make the button transparent, you can make it invisible by setting the .Style property to 1 - Invisible.

To simulate the toolbar button, I'd try an image control. It has a number of properties that are similar to the command button, but won't automatically take care of a disabled appearance. In order to gain the effect you want, in the MouseMove event of the image change the picture property to the desired image. In the form's MouseMove event, change it the Image's picture property to the the other desired image. To get a disabled appearance, you'll have to set the .Enabled proprety of the image to .F. and check that in the Form's MouseMove event.

hth,
