Description

Specifies whether a color on the form appears transparent.

Use TransparentColor to indicate that one of the colors on the form should be treated as transparent, allowing windows behind the form to completely show through. The TransparentColorValue property indicates the color that appears completely transparent.

Note: To make the entire form transparent, or to make it translucent rather than transparent, use the AlphaBlend and AlphaBlendValue properties.

Note: TransparentColor does not work on all systems. The application must be running under Windows 2000 or better, with adequate hardware.
