I have a form on which all the textboxes are transparent and I am not able to type any text into them. They were working correctly a couple of days ago. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

can you click on buttons and other controls?

You might have a breakpoint somewhere that you just didn't notice. I know that sounds like "My computer's not working - Is it unplugged?" but it happens :)

Yes, all the other controls on the form work ok

I figured it out. The form had the TransparencyKey set.

To white?

MS tends to use R:255 G:0 B:255 (Hot Pink) as their transparency key.
