Hmm... that is strange I thought it would be transparent by default.

You could always set it to

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  lnklbl.BackColor = this.lnklbl.Parent.BackColor; 
which would set it to it's parent's backcolor, so it would LOOK transparent.

background in picture box control and all link label display on image by
"BringToFront() " method.what is way to transparent control in this situation.

I don't think you can ever get a truely transparant background ontop of an image in the compact framework.

It would require quite a bit of processing power to do this, as the bounds of the lable object would surely have to mimic the colours of the object below it. Why are you placing a link label on an image. Why not just set an onclick event for the image and have this mimic the behaviour of the link?

Hi, I had some label with BackColor.Transparent and a User Control also with transparent background. When I put a label on the user control, instead to have transparent result I obtain a background containing a kind of stack or buffer of all controls in my form that are defined with transparent background. I don't understand this! *-----------------------* Posted at:

Is there no way to make a label or link label transparent in vb.net? This is a real pain on about screens with nice graphics where you want your text backgroup to be transparent. I can drawstring most of it--shouldn't have to. But how to do the linklabel I don't know--other than using the control. Ideas? solutions?

I have a picturebox in my About form. would like to have a link to my company website. Wanted the links background to be transparent. It seems that no one knows how to do this. Have asked many times. VB help says that transparent is possible with a background image but not above a control. So how can I provide a link (URL) that is clickable, but transparent, over the picturebox in my about box?

It appears that I have two routines that don't play well together! First routine: a form's background is shaded with a gradient color. Second routine: then, the background of all labels on the form are made transparent. What results is the label's backcolor appearing as blocks of 'control' colored background. Setting the label's backcolor to color.transparent does not make it transparent (evidently the text is repainted with a...

I've been complaing about the VB2005 Help-Information (or rather the lack of it) before, but when I was looking how to set the backstyle of a label control to "Transparent" I found that the VB2005 documentation has reached an all-time low (please note the part about the z-order): MSDN: In Visual Basic 6.0, the BackStyle property of the Label control determines whether the label had a transparent background. Setting the BackStyle...
