Is it possible?(i know its possible ive seen it before)
What i mean is that to take an image and put behind it an edit box,
then to be able to focus on the edit box and type text in it and only the text and cursor will be shown, not the grey style of the edit box.
also it will be available to select the text and copy it and paste it and delete it.
So how can i do that? Is it possible to use BlueGUI for that?

(forgive my english) lol?! xD

No. BlueGUI is intended to provide a native, un-skinned Windows user interface.


BlueGUI Windows Plugin

Not with BlueGUI. You'd have to subclass the component and write a custom renderer more than likely.

well... An alternative is to make your images for your different buttons and text boxes etc, and set them all up as panels and assign background images. It is kind of a hoaky way of doing it, but it should work. (text boxes would still need to be text boxes)

Quit planning to make a game and make a game.
