I have managed to create a image of the memo box then I made it transparent but if there is a way to make it transparent I would like to find out.

OK, I use a Freeware component (with source) for this. Look at http://www.delphispirit.com/rd/Delphi/9/59 and find the "Transparent Components v.1.0" Download and install. It will put a .PAS file in a location of your choice. Create a new package, add the pas file, save, compile and install and away you go.

Is it possible to use this component under C++ Builder 6?
