I can make the background color of the form transparent by using: "Me.TransparencyKey = Me.BackColor"
"Me.BackColor" is set to default "Control", which I think uses 240;240;240 as the color.But using that color as the transparent mask color leaves gaps in controls who are also using that color.By changing the Me.BackColor to a "rare" color this problem is fixed.What problem really is, is that using the "Control" color I get the ability to ALSO interact with whatever is behind my form, which any other custom color does NOT.
Question: Why is this?
Request: I would like to use a custom color as the transparent color but KEEP the ability to interact with whatever is behind the form, how can I make it do that?

I can't remember exactly if this is possible or not but what I am attempting I would think should theoretically be possible. I know it is possible in WPF but the company I am working for doesn't want to make the transition just yet. Basically what I want is to use a background image on a form for the background and I have a docked control on the right and left. I have set the background on both of these docked controls to transparent however it is showing the back color rather than the background image. I tried, rather than setting the background image property, to override the onpaintbackground and onpaint events and use e.graphics.draw(picture, me.clientrectangle) but it still seems to just pick up the backcolor as the true transparent background so I'm wondering if it's possible to get it to show the background image through the control rather than the backcolor of the form?
