Label parent changes without my consent

Hi,
I'm trying to have some labels be transparent against a picturebox on a
tabpage. I made the label backgrounds transparent, then changed each label's
parent to the picturebox (under initialize component - this.label22.Parent =
pb1;). It works when I run it the first time, but then changes back
automatically (this.label22.Parent = pb1; just disappears) and it's no longer
transparent.
Should I be declaring the parents at a different location, or combined with
another location to say it's a permanent thing?
Thanks,
Melanie
