Hello experts,
How can i set windows form controls (i.e. button, label, ...etc) to
transparent? I tried set the control back colour property to
transparent, but it still appear non-transparent.
Thanks,
Benny

Hi Benny,
By Transparent, do you mean that you want the form anvas to be visible, or
the desktp to be visible when you set the Control Transparent.
Actually both of these things can be done in a rather simplifid manner -
well actually too simple to be the answer.
Set the visible to false for the control.
Use the transparency Key to inflict a hole on the face of the form.
Hope it helps.
Thank You,
rawCoder

Hi Benny,
If you set a control's BackColor to Transparent it should be transparent (you can see right through it to the control behind it, usually the Form). You set the TransparencyKey on the form to specify which color should be transparent. To my knowledge this only works on the form not on controls. Alternatively you can use a Form's Opacity to make it partial or fully transparent, including controls.

Happy coding!

as suggested by raw and Morten, if you are trying to see through controls to
the desktop, set the TransparencyKey of the form to a color of your choosing
(use a non-usual one to prevent problems). Then anywhere on the form that
this color has been used (controls and all) will be rendered invisible (or
see-through to the desktop).

Hello Morten,
How can you set the opacity for controls? I can only see it is available
for forms.
Thanks,
Benny

I'm using Visual Studio 2003. I have a form with the following controls on it:

On the forms property page, I have set the Background to an image.
The problem:
I observe that the form displays with the datagrid and the buttons
transparent down to the desktop for a significant amount of time.
On event frmMain_load, it takes a bit of code ( read time) to build up the

A2003. I rather like the appearance I get with windows themed controls
turned on, but I'm running into an odd problem with tab controls.
When I set the back style to transparent, it really isn't transparent.
I'm finding instead of one text box or a button that I'd like to have on
the form "shining through" and displaying with all pages, it's as if the
tab control keeps the odd colour background it generates.

What would be a good way to check programmatically whether a service was
running?
We have a service that dies periodically and I need to check to see if this
service is running. I know how to check to see if the status is in stopped
or running mode. But that doesn't tell me if it is actually running.
I need to know this so that if it happens I can programmatically start the
same service on another machine.

I have created a windows application in which the form needs to be
resized on the MouseMove event. The windows resize function takes a lot
of CPU cycles. And as the resize function is called on the MouseMove,
the form is resized around a 30-100 times in one second. This leads to
a high CPU utilization and all other application comes to a stand
still.
The form does not have any controls i.e. buttons, text boxes etc. It is
