Transparent UltraLabel not really transparent over pictures
posted

I have several places in our application where I need to lay UltraLabels over a picture(UltraPictureBox).  However, even though the background of the UltraLabel is transparent, it does not draw the picture underneath it in the area of the UltraLabel.  It just draws the background color of the control underneath it but not the picture. Is there something I may be doing wrong, or is this a limitation of Infragistics or .NET?

 

Thanks,

Bill

    Try this:

    Create a CustomControl that inherits UltrLabel.

    Add this code inside your CustonControl:

    protected override CreateParams CreateParams

    {

       get

       {

          CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;

          cp.ExStyle |= 0x20; // WS_EX_TRANSPARENT

          return cp;

       }

    }
