View 2 RepliesI'm trying to evade the problem of being unable to have a transparent textbox by using a label. When the label is selected, it selects the info in a textbox elsewhere. Then using Textbox.changed, i stream the text to the label. Maybe the code will make sense:
Private Sub UserLabelClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles UserLabel.Click
UserTB.SelectAll()
End Sub
[code]....
But the text is not selected and therefore cannot be changed.

View 11 RepliesI searched the forums and most of the topics involving this seem to be for Compact Framework. I need a transparent text label which shows an object directly beneath it. In this case, a rectangle. (Visual Studio 2010) I noticed that when I set the label background to transparent it shows the form bg instead of anything between the label and the form. How can I work around this without setting my form background to an image? If I were to make a custom control for it, how would that be achieved?

View 5 RepliesI have a small picturebox(34x34 pixels) and want to have a transparent label(maybe 12x12 or 15x15 pixels) in the corner of it, which will be used as a counter.
I saw another forums suggesting adding the PictureBox as a parent to the Label, like this:
Label1.Parent = PictureBox1
Label1.BackColor = Color.Transparent
But then the label just disappears, and no text is displayed.

View 1 RepliesI am using a picture box to load an animated gif as a background on top of my form (same size as the form). On top of that I have a standard label with some text. I have made the label background transparent but it doesn't display correctly with the animated picturebox behind it. The label background is transparent but it doesn't draw the animation correctly under it. It almost looks like it is drawing it at a few frames behind. Now, I know I can draw the text on the animated picturebox by hand (I have done that before) but I am not sure it is possible this time because the labels are part of custom controls.

I've read many articles on how to create transparent labels but it seems to me that my particular case is not covered. Very simply I have a label placed in the upper right part of the form, which in fact is part of the menu strip. The label displays some info to the user but I wish it were transparent. I've tried various methods including
lblAct.Parent = mnuMain '(or Me)
lblAct.BackColor = Color.Transparent
lblAct.BringToFront()
But cant get it to work. How I can make that label in that position transparent?

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to create a label that displays sensor output readings. These are small labels inside a picturebox that has a real time graph of the sensors. I'm trying to make the labels transparent or semi-transparent in order to see the entire graph. Setting the labels background color property to transparent only gives the labels the same color property of the picturebox not the actual images of the picture box. I have set the label.parent = picturebox1.
View 1 RepliesFirst post here, so I have no clue if this is the right place to ask this or not, but it looked like it.
Anyways, what I'm trying to do as an exercise is make a roulette game. I decided it would be best to put my buttons ON the actual table itself, so that the player can click which one he wants to bet on, and it'll bring up an Input Box asking how much he wants to bet, and yeah.
So, I tossed a button on there, set the parent to the picturebox of the roulette table, set the back color to transparent, and got rid of the text. Lo and behold, it's transparent!
