Good afternoon guys.
This is my first post on VBdotnet
I have recently started using Visual Studio 2012 to learn some VB.net
I am currently developing an app in order to get more proficient at VS.
I would like to be able to print text to the screen and systematically/automatically remove it as well after a certain time period.
An example would be the opening lines in Star Wars.(A long, long time ago..)
I did first try using labels, But as I need this text to appear a line at a time and then erase itself before the next line is written.
I have a total of 5 lines I would like to print,one after the other once the form loads.
This text background however needs to be transparent as I have a form background that I prefer not having a big white chunk taken out of.
I did read however that someone mentioned a user to "Create your own window. It doesn't have to be visible, use the Form.TransparencyKey property"
But I am still super fresh with VB.net hence I feel pretty much like a fool.
My current VS is just the basic installation with no extra add-ons installed, Not sure there Is an extension available to attend to my requirements.
