Trasparent control (label) in Windows CE with C#

[Guest]

I want to make a trasparent control (label) for windows CE.

I create a new class inherited from Control
i override the OnPaint and the OnPaintPackground
in the on OnPaintBackground i to nothing:
protected override void OnPaintBackground(PaintEventArgs e)
{
//
}

in the OnPaint i draw the text:

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
e.Graphics.DrawString(Text, Font, new SolidBrush(Color.Red),
this.ClientRectangle);
}

The problem is that i see not the Parent Background. I see the "Desktop"
background! What is wrong? I want to see the image who is on the Parent Form.

Thanks in advance!

The window transparency is not supported on the OS level. The only way to
emulate this is to draw background image yourself
