How To: Make a label background color the same as its gradient form?

[Eric]

I created a gradient form and want the background of the labels to take on
the same color pattern as the parent form. Is this easily possible?

Thanks

Hi,

Set the labels background color to transparent.

Public Class Form1

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVa l sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
Label1.BackColo r = Color.Transpare nt
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Paint(ByV al sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows. Forms.PaintEven tArgs) Handles Me.Paint
Dim gb As New Drawing2D.Linea rGradientBrush( Me.ClientRectan gle,
Color.Blue, Color.White, Drawing2D.Linea rGradientMode.B ackwardDiagonal )
e.Graphics.Fill Rectangle(gb, Me.ClientRectan gle)
End Sub
End Class
