Change a labels behaviour

OK. I want to use a transparent control to display text on an image. I
also want it to allow user input and editing.

See as textboxes cannot be transparent (or can they.....?) is there anyway I
can set a label control to allow user input?

Thanks

One way I would suggest is to set the backcolor of the Textbox to the same
as the color of the container in which the TextBox is... If you can do exact
RGB match this works very well...

Thanks, only real problem with that is that the textboxes are on top of
images so painting the background won't work.

Could I not take some sort of grab of the image that is being covered and
overlay this on the textbox?

Or any other ideas?
