How on earth does one set the background property of a label to
transparant, a la VB6?
I have a label which overlays a picturebox, and I don't want the
horrible grey background - I just want the text over the picturebox.
The text dynamically moves around too.
Effectivly, its a "You are Here" sort of thing, so I'm putting a red
"X" in a label and moving it around.
Is there a control that I can use which has a transparency?

from VS 2003 docs:
-- MaskColor Changes in Visual Basic .
In Visual Basic 6.0, the MaskColor property of a CheckBox, CommandButton, or
OptionButton control was used to define a color that would become
transparent, allowing a background image to show through. In order to use
this property, the Style property had to be set to Graphical, the
UseMaskColor property had to be set to true, and a bitmap had to be assigned
to the Picture property.
In Visual Basic .NET, there is no direct equivalent for the MaskColor
property. You can, however, set transparency on a control using code similar
to the following:
' Assumes a picture has been assigned to the BackgroundImage property.
Dim g As New System.Drawing. Bitmap(Button1. BackGroundImage )
g.MakeTranspare nt(System.Drawi ng.Color.White)
Button1.Backgro undImage = g

It is rumoured that on Fri, 5 Aug 2005 09:25:15 -0500, "Patrick
Sullivan" <ps****@eatel.n et> spake word of wisdom thus: ' Assumes a picture has been assigned to the BackgroundImage property.
Dim g As New System.Drawing. Bitmap(Button1. BackGroundImage )
g.MakeTranspar ent(System.Draw ing.Color.White )
Button1.Backgr oundImage = g

Thanks for that - though I'm afraid I feel I have missed out some
important information...
I am writing for PocketPC2002 - and so the cotrols are not "as normal"
I cannot set a bacground image to a button, and fell I am stuck with
the grey background to my label... ~sigh~
Sorry for missing this important piece of info out of the original
question

(PHP4.3.4, GD2) How can I save a PNG using GD2 and insure that it saves as a
palette-based (8-bit, 256-color) single-color transparancy?? Saving this
way, I could be sure that an image loaded from a transparent gif could be
saved as a png and the png would work in IE versions 5.5 and greater (IE has
bug that messes up png transparancies which use full alpha channel).
thanks for any help at all,

Hi all
I have a MDI Container Form, with one label control
on the Background of this container form.
When I now open a child form, this form is behind
the label ... and this looks ugly ... :-))
When I set the label with "SendToBack", it completely disapears.
I also tried to set the child form like "BringToFront" but this also does
not help.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
