Transparency on a usercontrol

Question

Hi

I am able to create a transparent panel easily enough on a top level windows form. I read that this is only works on a top level window... I am using some UserControls as overlay dialogs to process some settings. How would go about creating a transparent panel on a sub level UserControl?

MyPanel1.BackColor = Color.FromArgb)25, 100, 100, 100)

works for the top level form but not the sub level UserControl

Thanks

Hi NachoShaw-9496,
First, I add User Control(UserControl1) in project.(Right click project name ->Add->User Control)
Then drag panel control form ToolBox to UserControl1 in UserControl1.cs[Design] window.
And using your code as follows:

private void UserControl1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  
{  
  
    panel1.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(25, 100, 100, 100);  
}  

It worked fine.
So do you want to create a transparent panel or a transparent usercontrol?
And what does top/ sub level mean in your description?
Where is your usercontrol?
Please provide more details to reproduce the situation.
Best Regards,
Daniel Zhang
