I've set a label's BackColor property to 'Transparent' in windows form but its just White? It's not going transparent?
Anyone know why this is happening?
The label does not support transparency, you must create your own unique custom control, you can see these code examples.

I'm using c# windows forms application , So I Have a simple Form that contain picturebox inside XtraScrollableControl (to Make a PictureBox Scrollable) and it's worked! but i want to change the default design of scrollbar from white or silver color I think To a specific color Please check below screenshot Thanks.
Regards.
If you used VScrollBar you can set
LookAndFeel.SkinName = Devexpress Dark style;
UseDefaultLookAndFeel = false;
I have a problem with:
BackColor = Color.Transparent;
It's not working correctly. I have a form with a blue background, and a picturebox with a picture loaded in it. It's not actually taking what's in the picture, but rather - the form's background color. Please tell me there's a simple way to go around this?
What you see in the following screenshot is a custom usercontrol with it's backColor set to transparent, on top of a picture, in a form with a blue background.
I need the usercontrol to display what's UNDER it, as real transparency, it should be showing the gradient and part of the image.
Try setting the picture box to be the parent of the custom user control.
myControl.Parent = this.myPictureBox;
Try calling "SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, true);" on your user control constructor.

Assume that I have a panel, this panel has a background image. I add a label to this panel. Anyone can help me how to show label's text but don't show label's backcolor, the label will inherit background image from its parent. I use a transparent backcolor on label but not effect.
Note: WinForm.
Thanks.
Using a transparent background color should work.
Note that the windows forms designer doesn't honor transparency, but at runtime it should displayed as expected.
Make sure you use the Web.Transparent color, it tends to work better.
Select your label and go to it's Properties > Backcolor > Click the Web tab > Transparent.
If you need more specific directions, please ask.
I am building a custom user control in c#, and the look of the control is an elipse, but the corners of the control can be seen with the default color.
I think that the best way to solve this is making the backcolor of the control transparent, but if i do it in properties doesn't work.
In the control's constructor, try adding a call to SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor)
I tried to set backcolor to transparent by solution given at msdn but failed is there any way to make background transparent

Yes, set the form's TransparencyKey property. Make the BackColor the same value. You need to pick a color that won't appear anywhere else in the form. Color.Fuchsia is a good choice, it's a fuchsed-up color.
This isn't a good idea for a splash screen. The point of having one is that the user can see it. The linked MSDN article is only appropriate for (some) child controls, not the form.
