title: TextBox Control Transparency / Picturebox Text
body: <p>I have been wanted to create a custom text box and so I have found two methods which would allow me to achieve this although they aren't the best. One of the them is to actually draw text on the picturebox itself, but I wasn't able to find any tutorials or code to allow me to create this.</p>
  
  <p>But I did find something for a Alpha channel textbox which although didn't allow me to put the control over other controls, I was able to work with it. The code works but my only problem now that is when other people use it the text is blurry.</p>

  <p>This is how it looks like for me: <a href="http://puu.sh/4hzUD.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://puu.sh/4hzUD.jpg</a></p>
  
  <p>I am currently using this code, which I converted to vb.net: <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/4390/AlphaBlendTextBox-A-transparent-translucent-textbo" rel="nofollow">http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/4390/AlphaBlendTextBox-A-transparent-translucent-textbo</a></p>
  
  <p>I was wondering if there is a way to fix this blurry text on other computers or if there is an easier way of doing this, because that code is 10 years old and everywhere I search, I can't find anything else.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
