Question

how to transparent picturebox and show another controls which is under it

Lalit M · Answer

The best way to do this is to simply draw the image directly over the form by overriding the OnPaint event: Show here example public class Form1 { private Bitmap _myImage = new Bitmap(C:\myImage.gif); protected override void OnPaint(System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e) { base.OnPaint(e); e.Graphics.DrawImageUnscaled(new Bitmap(_myImage) 100 100); } } OR you can try this code sample Transparent label above a picturebox protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) { gxOff = e.Graphics; } private void pbx_Paint(object sender System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e) { Graphics g = e.Graphics; DrawLabel(lblPag1 g); } private void DrawLabel(Label lbl Graphics grx) { Rectangle rect; if (lbl.TextAlign == ContentAlignment.TopLeft) { gxOff.DrawString(lbl.Text lbl.Font new SolidBrush(lbl.ForeColor) lbl.Location.X lbl.Location.Y); } else if ((lbl.TextAlign == ContentAlignment.TopCenter)) { SizeF size; size = grx.MeasureString(lbl.Text lbl.Font); int Left; Left = (this.Width / 2) - ((int)size.Width / 2); rect = new Rectangle(Left lbl.Top (int)size.Width (int)lbl.Height); gxOff.DrawString(lbl.Text lbl.Font new SolidBrush(lbl.ForeColor) rect.Location.X rect.Location.Y); pbx.Visible = false; } else if (lbl.TextAlign == ContentAlignment.TopRight) { SizeF size; size = grx.MeasureString(lbl.Text lbl.Font); int Left; Left = lbl.Width - (int)size.Width + lbl.Left; rect = new Rectangle(Left lbl.Top (int)size.Width (int)lbl.Height); gxOff.DrawString(lbl.Text lbl.Font new SolidBrush(lbl.ForeColor) rect.Location.X rect.Location.Y); } }
