Transparent UserControl

Josh · Apr 21, 2005

I'm going Mad!

Has anyone been able to give a UserControl a transparent Background

I've tried...

this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, true);

this.BackColor = Color.Transparent;

this.UpdateStyles();

.... but it does not work.

What about semi-transparent controls (on WinXP)?
