How to hide a panel when mouse leave/mouse hover - vb.net

I have multiple buttons in a Panel. I want to hide the Panel on mouse leave of the panel, or buttons.
The problem is that when my cursor hovers on one button and hovers again on another button, the panel that holds the button will hide because I have panel.hide() code on each mouse_Leave event in the button and on the panel. I want to hide it when the cursor leaves the panel or the button.

It sounds like you basically want the panel hidden at all times unless the cursor is over it, and when the cursor isn't the panel hides again?
You could try keeping the panel hidden by default so it's always that way unless the mouse enter's over it, then it shows. That way, when the mouse leaves the panel again it'll automatically hide.

Change focus on a Button in a Panel using the arrow keys

Assume you have a Form with ten Buttons on it, with the first one having the focus, so that it can be clicked by hitting the Enter key on the keyboard. Now, you can set the focus to the next button simply by pressing the Down arrow key. This works out of the box.
Then I constrain this functionality to the first three Buttons on the Form.
So, when the third Button on the Form has the focus and I press the Down arrow key, the first Button - instead of the forth button - should receive the focus.
Question:
how can I change the focus to another button outside the Panel with arrow key?

How to show button control on userform like a button in pop up mode without hovering mouse

I have some button controls on userform where button style selected is Popup. After running the code when I hover the mouse it show little tip tilted (or it show border on left and top edge).
How can I fix this for all button without hovering mouse where all button shows border on its left and top (That will change it's visibility like a tip tilted button).
The purpose of this is, I want to show all button little over to it's parent form/panel as shown on the keyboard so that users can see these are the button without hovering the mouse.
I have attached button image and I want to all the button in the same style (This button style is popup). The button which is shown in picture give me a look when I hover the mouse over it (it displays the Left and Top corner with different/identical color) but I want this permanent to all button without hovering the mouse.
Any help will be appreciated.

Transparent control or user control in vb.net

I am trying to make a transparent control with child controls that are visible and opaque.
I have added a panel control to the main form via code in the form load event. In this I am adding five buttons as child controls like: panel.controls.add(). To all of these, I have set backcolor=color.transparent.
When I run this program, the button background shows the background of the next button in the panel. If I open a child form, then I can see labels on the child form as the background of the panel.
I want to make container panel control completely transparent, so I can see the main form through it. How can this be achieved?
When the form loads, you can see neighbor buttons behind the actual buttons
"Perform Check" is a label on a child form which I opened right before taking this picture.
: "Check Cases and Combinations" is a button on a child form which I opened right before I took this picture.
How can I make it truly transparent? Why doesn't the background of the panel control refresh with the main form background? The panel sort of "keeps" whatever happens on the main form and shows it as a background.
I found out there some issues with setting controls that are transparent and on top of other controls in the main form. They take the background of the container form, whether or not there is any control in between. I used WPF form instead of the panel and it worked perfectly.

ignore mouse event on label inside panel

I am making a custom menu. I am applying colors on panels on mouse enter and mouse leave.
I have labels on these panels, and the mouse enter and leave events work snappy, but as soon as I hover over the label (on/inside) the panel, the mouse leave event is fired. I know I can just do the same thing for the label mouse enter event, but I am doing some other visual stuff, and I need to have the label mouse events totally disregarded. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I eventually just used the menu control, and styled it accordingly. Does the job better than I could with code...
