Opaque controls? - C# / C Sharp

Is there any way to make controls opaque? I need to make text and a web
browser opaque.

I'm using .Net 1.1 but if 2.0 will do it I'll move to 2.0.

Thanks.

Jeff.

Do you mean (semi)transparent rather than opaque?

I don't believe there's any way of doing so currently. WPF (Avalon)
will have a lot of transparency control, although I doubt it extends to
non-Avalon controls.

I guess I do mean transparent. I want to be able to have something on the
screen but be able to see through it. Things like a web browser control or a
label.

You can set a forms transparency using the Opacity property?

Do this help?

Is that for everything on a form or just specific items. I need to be able
to do specific items.

I'm afriad Winforms doesn't support semi-transparancy of controls only of
top level windows. As Jon pointed out, to get this sort of behavior you will
have to wait for WPF (formally known as Avalon) as this graphics engine (not
GDI based) has full support for transparency
