posted

Hi,

i read a lot of post in this forum, about the true transparent BG in a label, but i dont resolve the problem.

with a "normal" label

    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Label
    Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property CreateParams() As System.Windows.Forms.CreateParams
        Get
            Dim cp As CreateParams = MyBase.CreateParams
            cp.ExStyle = cp.ExStyle Or &H20 ' color Transparent
            Return cp
        End Get
    End Property


    Public Sub New()
        Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, True)

    end sub

its work, but i want use ultralabel, cause i need alpha too and other properties that the ultralabel have.

i try to replace Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Label with Inherits Infragistics.Win.Misc.UltraLabel but dont work

the background is black and i dont understand why.

    If you want UltraLabel to be transparent, you don't have to derive a control. Just set the BackColor to Transparent.

    this.ultraLabel1.Appearance.BackColor = Color.Transparent;

    By the way... the same thing works for the inbox Label:

    this.label1.BackColor = Color.Transparent;
