sf.LineAlignmen t=StringAlignme nt.Center;

sf.Trimming=Str ingTrimming.Ell ipsisWord;

RectangleF(5,5, this.ClientRect angle.Width-15,this.ClientR ectangle.Height-10),sf);

You need to provide more info?

I presume you are creating your own component control and are inheriting
from Label? Then overriding the onPaint?

Just draw the text with a transparent brush such as
SolidBrush(Colo r.FromArgb,128, Color.Black))
