Making a textbox glow?

[borter]

Is it possible to make a text box glow in any way? If not what is something similar that I can do in replacement instead of a glowing effect.

And now for more details; I am making a doctor who themed browser and I have a textbox that I want to glow(A golden color) when I refresh the browser. I have no idea how to use GDI+ and just learned about it the other day. I can't seem to find out how to work it at all.I want it to glow when I press the refresh button but the main problem is still figuring out how to even do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you for your time.

I don;t know whether any of the results refer to TextBoxes specifically, but here's where I'd start:

You can make a class here is one class for a transparent textbox, i hope it helps you

Class TransparentControl
Inherits Control


Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
MyBase.SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, True)
MyBase.SetStyle(ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, True)
MyBase.SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, True)
End Sub
End Class
Class TransparentRichTextBox
Inherits RichTextBox


Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
MyBase.ScrollBars = RichTextBoxScrollBars.None
End Sub


Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property CreateParams As CreateParams
Get
Dim cp As CreateParams = MyBase.CreateParams
cp.ExStyle = (cp.ExStyle Or 32)
Return cp
End Get
End Property


Protected Overrides Sub OnPaintBackground(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)


End Sub
End Class
