Issue with transparency on UltraTextEditor

Hi there, i'm trying to make the ultraTextEditor transparent.

I have managed to achieve this with:

appearance1.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;

appearance1.BackColor2 = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;

this.uteStatus.Appearance = appearance1;

However, when I click on the text box or I select text on the textbox the control is no longer transparent. Does anyone know how to remedy this situation?

You might want to consider replacing your UltraTextEditor with an UltraFormattedTextEditor, which does not use the MS TextBox and therefore does not have the same limitation.

This is a limitation of the standard TextBox control, which is used within the UltraTextEditor. If you set the BackColor to transparent for a TextBox control, you will see that it throws an exception.
