Hello,

I have placed a background picture for the form and my aim is to make the specific label on the form transparent. I tried a few ways and applied a few sample code but none of them work out. If you give me a sample, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.



'That is how I place a backgroudn picture for teh form



VB

Protected Overrides Sub OnPaintBackground(ByVal e As PaintEventArgs)
    MyBase.OnPaintBackground(e)
    e.Graphics.DrawImage(My.Resources.form, 0, 0)
End Sub
