[SOLVED] Toggle Button background

Hi!

Is it possible to change the background of a toggle button to transparent (so that only the image I use for it will be visible. I'd like to remove both the border (which should be possible via setting the style to transparent) and the background color (currently some grey-ish color), but I don't know if it is possible.]

Yes for standard command buttons - in design view go to the Property Sheet for the button & change Back Style to Transparent.
You will be left with just the button image (or text)

However, one cautionary word.
Doing this may make it not obvious that it is a button

EDIT
However, for toggle buttons, its not so easy
This is by design so you know which button has been toggled on
You can do a kludge that almost does this e.g. Use Theme = No ; BackColor = Form Color; Pressed Back Color = Form Color
But IMHO it makes the toggle buttons hard to use

Thank you for the reply. I certainly never thought of that idea, but man, it's really great and the result is proper.

What I do have concerns for is the flashing the toggle button sometimes provides (more randomly and on hover). Is there a way to get rid of it, bv any chance?

I don't experience the issue you've described with toggle buttons
Other than suggesting you also make the hover colour the same as the normal colour, I'm not sure what to suggest.
