Hello,

When the BackColor is set to Transparent, the UltraLabel (like other .NET controls) will inherit is BackColor for its parent container which is why your label was showing the form's BackColor.

The easiest solution to apply text to the UltraActivityIndicator is via a DrawFilter.

        public class UltraActivityIndicatorTextDrawFilter : Infragistics.Win.IUIElementDrawFilter
        {
            #region Members

            private Font font;
            private string text = string.Empty;
            private SizeF textSize;

            #endregion //Members

            #region Constructor

            public UltraActivityIndicatorTextDrawFilter(string text, Font font)
            {
                this.text = text;
                this.font = font;
            }

            #endregion //Constructor

            #region IUIElementDrawFilter Members

            public bool DrawElement(Infragistics.Win.DrawPhase drawPhase, ref Infragistics.Win.UIElementDrawParams drawParams)
            {
                Infragistics.Win.UltraActivityIndicator.MarqueeIndicatorUIElement marqueeElement = drawParams.Element as Infragistics.Win.UltraActivityIndicator.MarqueeIndicatorUIElement;
                if (marqueeElement != null &&
                    this.text != String.Empty)
                {
                    if (this.textSize.IsEmpty)
                        this.textSize = drawParams.Graphics.MeasureString(this.text, this.font);
                    Rectangle workRect = marqueeElement.RectInsideBorders;
                    drawParams.Graphics.DrawString(this.text, this.font, drawParams.TextBrush, new PointF(workRect.Right - (workRect.Width + this.textSize.Width) / 2, workRect.Bottom - (workRect.Height + this.textSize.Height) / 2));
                }
                return false;
            }

            public Infragistics.Win.DrawPhase GetPhasesToFilter(ref Infragistics.Win.UIElementDrawParams drawParams)
            {
                if (drawParams.Element is Infragistics.Win.UltraActivityIndicator.MarqueeIndicatorUIElement)
                    return Infragistics.Win.DrawPhase.AfterDrawElement;
                else
                    return Infragistics.Win.DrawPhase.None;
            }

            #endregion
        }

If you would like to see a Text property added to the UltraActivityIndicator, I would suggest entering a Feature Request to bring this functionality to the attention of our product management. If you require further assistance, please let me know.

Thanks,

Chris
