How To Make Text Transparent [Win C#]

[MikeY]

Can anyhow direct me on how to make text trasnparent. The Text is loctated
in my custom buttons. A Sample of my code is below.

Font fn = new Font("Tahoma",8, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold);



string str= "Sauteed Spinach & Bacon";



StringFormat sf=(StringFormat)StringFormat.GenericTypographic.Clone();

sf.Alignment=StringAlignment.Center;

sf.LineAlignment=StringAlignment.Center;

sf.Trimming=StringTrimming.EllipsisWord;



myGraphics.DrawString(str, fn, Brushes.Black,new
RectangleF(5,5,this.ClientRectangle.Width-15,this.ClientRectangle.Height-10),sf);



this.Region = new Region(myGraphicsPath);

fn.Dispose();



Thank you all in advance

Just draw the text with a transparent brush such as
SolidBrush(Color.FromArgb,128,Color.Black))

You need to provide more info?

I presume you are creating your own component control and are inheriting
from Label? Then overriding the onPaint?
