Yes and it immediately gives an error after that.

There is a new version 0.59. Which version you have?

After you select "crop image" a new box will appear in Attributes called "picc". Click on it, click "browse", then select your background image.

Yes, I got it working, but in a weird way.

Say I have some background picture, which I place on background layer.
Then I have textbox above it. Located at specified place.
I have to crop background picture in editor, in a such way, that it fits the area occupied by textbox.
Then use that cropped picture as textbox background.

There is simply no way to make text background "transparent".

I do not know why it is not working for you.

Please send to me your email and I will reply with the demo file that just work! You can go on and do your mods then.

Since writing that first article I learned something new. Instead of placing a Picture the size of your screen, start with an empty screen. Choose "image" for sta. Then picc, browse, select your background image.

Hi Mike,

Just received the latest Nuts & Volts with your Nextion article, good work. Wish I had this two years ago!

If you like writing articles, B4A is now free and programs much like the Nextion or VB. Probably a lot interest with hobbyist. I've made android apps to communicate with HC-05 Bluetooth modules connected to pic micros.
