Transparent Textbox? Fonts Style?

[larry]

Does anyone has answers to the following questions on VB.NET
1. Setting a Textbox or Text Label to transparent so that the displayed text will not block the entire background picture
2. Setting more font styles such as 'Outline', 'Shadow', just like those font effects offered by other Windows programs such as Word

Thanks

You will find a VB6 implementation here (must be converted to VB.NET
before use with VB.NET):

2. Setting more font styles such as 'Outline', 'Shadow', just like

That's not possible with the .NET TextBox/(and maybe RichTextBox).
