You should have said what version you were using. Have you browsed through the properties of the label in the documentation?

Oh! I've just done a quick search of the web and come up with this. Hope it helps...

Label1.BackColor = Color.Transparent

That's the correct code, but it only makes the label transparent to its container, i.e., the form or panel. If you are trying to add a transparent label to a PictureBox, then you will have to draw it yourself. However, a better solution is to remove the PictureBox and use a Panel control instead. Just set the backround image of the panel to the image, put the label into the panel, and set the label BackColor to transparent. HTH --Sam

Just type the colour code 16777215 into the BackColour property. ☺

In VB6, the picturebox can be the container for the label, so this would work. Don't know how it works in Vb.Net, though.

In VB.Net, you will need to select transparent from web colours in the properties of the control.

If you have VB6 installed.

Just Create a small proj with transparent label. convert that to vb.net.

Copy that label and use it anywhere.
