Background color of transparent on a label shows form not what's underneath it.

[UJ]

I have a browser object on a form with a label in front of it. I want the
label to be transparent so that you can see what's going on in the browser
behind it. When I make the label transparent (backcolor = color.transparent)
what it shows is the window, not the control behind it.

What am I doing wrong?

TIA - Jeff

Jeff,

I'm not sure that what you are trying to do is possible, but it sounds like
your label is being parented by the form instead of the browser. In code,
try setting the label's parent to the browser instead of the form.

Thanks but that doesn't seem to work. I checked in the debugger and the
parent is the web browser but transparent still shows the form not the
webbrowser.
