Hi:

I am a relative newbie IG programmer.

I created a taskpane and gave it a style of "Office2007" which gives the TaskPane a light blue color and looks great. However, when I try to put labels and transparent buttons on top, they show the background color of the underlying form, which is grey. (If i put a label on a tab control, they properly show the color of the tab, not the form). I am trying to understand what is going on here and why they behave differently. is it because the Tab control is a "container" but the TaskPane is not? How can I format the appearance of a label so that it does look "transparent" so only the lettering with show with the background transparent?

 TIA.

 Rgds,

The standard .NET label control does not handle transparency well...try using an UltraLabel control instead

Thank you for your quick reply. However, i am using an ultraLabel control. I set both background colors to "transparent" but the color of the form shows through, not the TaskPane which seems strange to me since the ultraLabel is on top of the taskpane and the taskpane is on top of the form.
