Controls Based on Control Class Can't be Transparent?
Arg, I just made a new control that acts as a label, but when I draw it onto my form from the code (no designer stuff here..), I can't get it to render transparent! I told its backColor to be Color.Transparent, but it won't let me do that.
I need this to be transparent because otherwise I can't have a vertical color gradient in the background... Or I'm stuck with a friggen ugly blotch of solid color inside my gradient.

There are three ways that may help you to solve this problem.
1) use GDI+ class to draw your Text box.
2) put everything in a panel, so that you can set transparent property
3) Inherid RichTextBox and make is transparent. (reference:
