Groupbox and label problem

[feudalac!]

In VB6
Groupbox had .Border property...
Label had .Opaque property...

in VB.NET
I have several groupboxes on my form (because i need a container
control) and i don't want them do have a border...
I have a lots of labels and soem of them are on top of a picture and
must be transparent... When i set backgroundcolor to transparent, the
label still has the default background color...

is there a way to this two things?



Thanks

Why use groupbox then? Use panel instead.

How is you picture displayed .. is it in a picturebox ? The label will
always take its default background color as the color of its container. So i
might have some problem doing this. You can set the opacity of your form as
0% if u like. Only the form has an opacity property, as far as i think.

Yes, in VB.NET only the form has the opacity property...
I solved the label problem with label1.parent=picturebox
