I've got a normal Winforms Panel, but under it, I've sent a (Awesomium) WebControl form to the back, and was wondering if it's possible to make the panel transparent to reveal the colors of the webpage basically, but simple solutions such as
Panel1.BackColor = FromARGB(0,0,0,0) (Or any other color)
make the backcolor the same as the Form's backcolor (Goes right through the WebControl). Is there any workaround? My original intent was to see if the panel could display the color under of the webpage, rather than the Form's backcolor.
Look, you have not explained your problem properly, so I can't tell exactly what problem you are getting.
Panel's color is by default transparent but for your convenience you can set the background as transparent.
Here is the code:
Panel1.BackColor = Color.Transparent
Or, if your form's backcolor is a plain color, you can try the following:
Panel1.BackColor = Form1.BackColor
Hope it works perfectly!

I want to change the color of the slider (cursor) and the color of the line on which the slider lies. I also want to make the background transparent.
I used this code in the control's constructor but it still gives me a white background.
Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, True)
Me.BackColor = Color.Transparent
Any kind of help is appreciated. Thanks!
I have created one button and applied image (.png with transparent background) on it.
My button background is set on transparent but as you can see the background color is still there.
How can I make this work as it should?
Give this a shot.
'Making Existing Button Transparent
btnKasa.FlatStyle = Windows.Forms.FlatStyle.Flat
btnKasa.FlatAppearance.BorderSize = 0
btnKasa.FlatAppearance.MouseDownBackColor = Color.Transparent
btnKasa.FlatAppearance.MouseOverBackColor = Color.Transparent
btnKasa.BackColor = Color.Transparent
Another option that I came up with is to call:
SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, True)
when the form is created (e.g. in the constructor after InitializeComponent()). The button's BackColor is set to Transparent, as well (this can be done in code behind or in the properties).
I was trying to create a form in which some of the parts are transparent i.e I can click or use the form that is open behind the current form.
I have heard of transparency key as a way to do it but couldn't figure out a way to do it.
Me.TransparencyKey = Color.Transparent
When using TransparencyKey you have to state the part of the background color that you want to make transparent.
For example:-
Me.BackColor = Color.Green;
Me.TransparencyKey = Color.Green;
this will make all the visible portions of form that are green completely transparent
Using properties of "label" not able to set the backcolor as transparent ... when i select the color transparent from the option which is showing some color as backcolor, if transparent works properly must show background instead of some colors. please help
If you add a control at design time when setting the background to transparent it 'displays' the background of the form not the control on which it was placed unless that control is a container such as a panel.
2 options:
1 place the label on a panel and the label then displays the panel background (which can be a picture if that is what you are trying to do)
2 place the label programatically i.e.
dim Label1 As New Label
Control.Controls.Add(Label1)
Label1.BackColor = Color.Transparent
Form 1 has a transparency key for custom title bar with a background image.
I set the child forms(Inside the MDIclient) back color the same with the transparency key I set for the parent. Now its like making a hole in that area.
Is it possible to set the child form back color to transparent? so that the parent form background image visible within that form... thanks for your answers...
[Solved] my own problem.
Just for sharing..
Put this in the constructor of the child form
Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, True)
Me.BackColor = Color.Transparent
