Make a control transparent

1. Right-click the control you want to make transparent, and then click Advanced Properties on the shortcut menu.
   
   
2. Set the BackStyle property to Transparent. To set the property, click the BackStyle property and then click Transparent in the Apply list. If the control supports the BorderStyle property, set it to None.

Note   When you make a control transparent, the background color does not appear, so the BackColor property is ignored. However, the setting for BackColor is not changed when a control is transparent. Learn about transparency.
