Label transparency doesnt work

[VB Programmer]

Using VB.NET 2005 for WinForm App:

When I make a label's BackColor Transparent it works when in front of a
form's background image. But, when I put the label in front of a picture box
with an image (Sent To Back) then the label's background doesn't show up
transparent. Any ideas why?

set the label's parent to be the picture box. then it works.

Thanks. How can I do that?

set the label's parent to be the picture box. then it works.

how you can set the parent property? I'm not sure how you're getting
anything done if you don't know how to set a property.

something like:

myLabel.Parent = myPictureBox

I was looking for a property on the panel. Never mind. Thanks.
