Create a transparent control

1. Put the basic control onto the form.

2. View the control's properties.

3. Set the BackStyle property to Transparent.

4. If the control supports the BorderStyle property, set it to None.

Note

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