I've set a label's BackColor property to 'Transparent' in windows form but its just White? It's not going transparent?

Anyone know why this is happening?

Are you expecting that setting it transparent would have a see through effect ? well then that is not the case - V4Vendetta
someone else, I suppose, is set it to white. - Tigran
you want to hide lable or want to change colour of label? - Ovais Khatri

The label does not support transparency, you must create your own unique custom control, you can see these code examples.
