ACCESS LIST BOX BACK STYLE

[Guest]

List Boxes should support transparency just as most other form objects do.

Perhaps, but you can set their backcolor to the same color as the background
of the section the're in.

The standard ListBox control, either in VB or Access VBA, does not
support transparency. The latest VB.NET ListBox controls do expose this
functionality.

Generally, you could Subclass the ListBox window and handle the relevant
Message to draw the background of the WIndow yourself. This may not work
with the Access ListBox as it is already subclassed.

I often match the section background color to the list box back color. The
reason I suggest transparency is because it would allow an image placed
behind the list box (or form background) to show through - it has both
aesthetic and practical potential.
