Make a Control Transparent

  • Article
  1. Right-click the control that you want to make transparent, then click Advanced Properties.

Note In this context, "transparent" means that the control inherits the background color of the parent control. 2. Set the BackStyle property to Transparent. To set the property, click the BackStyle property, and then click Transparent in the Apply list. If the control supports the BorderStyle property, set it to None.

Note When you make a control transparent, the background color does not appear, so the BackColor property is ignored. However, the setting for BackColor is not changed when a control is transparent.
