Basic Label Tranperancy?

[rbeavers]

Hello,
   I would like to place a Basic Label over each  StackLight Color. When the light is on, the Basic Label is visible and vice versa. I would like the basic Label background to be transparent when the label is visible. When I set the Basic Label Background Color to transparent, the background is still solid? Any way to get a Transparent Background on a Basic Label?

Thanks,
-Rob

Winforms doesn't like stacked controls very well. A work around would be to modify the code to make the stack light control paint the text. If you open StackLight.vb and add code like this:

   Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(e As PaintEventArgs)
        MyBase.OnPaint(e)
        e.Graphics.DrawString("Text1", Font, New SolidBrush(ForeColor), New Point(0, 0))
    End Sub
