This is a thread intended to hopefully help people learn their ways around the VB6 IDE. I'll get the ball rolling with a shortcut I've known about in windows for years, but it was only 4 or 5 months ago that I realized you could do it within the VB6 IDE as well.
Tip #1
If you have several labels, say 10 or so, and they all have an opaque backstyle that you'd like to change to transparent. Click one label, and then control click the other nine. This selects them all at once. Then you can go to the properties box, and change the backstyle to transparent. The changes will apply to all ten labels.
