Now the problem: The user can fill in 1 digit, and then the textbox changes back into a textbox, and the next button transforms into a textbox. My probl ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I layer controls on a form so that a PictureBox acts as a backdrop for all the other forms?

  I want to have many TextBoxes and other controls layered on top of a background picture.
