Transparent Label

[Steve C. Orr [MVP, MCSD]]

I have a picture box with a picture in it.
I place a label control over the picture control, and I set the BackColor
property on the label to Transparent.
And yet the Label does not show as transparent at runtime or design time.
It has the standard ugly gray background.
Why?
What is the best solution?

Thanks,
Steve Orr

Hi,

When a controls backcolor is transparent it takes the background of
its parent. Make sure the label parent is the picturebox.
