Default Word 2007 Option buttons - transparency

I’m creating a form using Word 2007. There are several questions on the form with Yes or No option buttons which I’ve grouped so that users can only answer Yes or No to each question. The form has a coloured background and I’m trying to make the option button back ground transparent so that that it picks up the same background colour. When I change the Properties to:
  • BackStyle – 0-fmBackStyleTransparent
  • BackColor to &H00FFFFFF&
the option button background becomes transparent but changes back to white as soon as I exit Design Mode. I've tried using Word 2010 but get the same problem. Any ideas how I can resolve this please?



Thanks

Jacob Thomas

Hi Jacob,

I'm unable to replicate that behaviour - setting the grouped radio buttons' background style to transparent does exactly that, regardless of what their background colour is set to. This applies to the form's view in both the vbe and at runtime.

Perhaps your PC has problems in its display driver. Updating it might help.
