Do you want to make the label  except for the text  transparent  Windows Forms  I assume WinForms - is this true  doesn t really support transparency  The easiest way  sometimes  is Label s Backcolor to Transparent    label1 BackColor   System Drawing Color Transparent    You will run into problems though  as WinForms really doesn t properly support transparency  Otherwise  see here   http   www doogal co uk transparent php  http   www codeproject com KB dotnet transparent controls net aspx  http   www daniweb com code snippet216425 html  Setting the parent of a usercontrol prevents it from being transparent  Good luck

Generally  labels and textboxes that appear in front of an image is best organized in a panel  When rendering  if labels need to be transparent to an image within the panel  you can switch to image as parent of labels in Form initiation like this  var oldParent   panel1  var newParent   pictureBox1   foreach  var label in oldParent Controls OfType lt Label gt           label Location   newParent PointToClient label Parent PointToScreen label Location        label Parent   newParent      label BackColor   Color Transparent

This uses Graphics CopyFromScreen so the control needs to be added when it s visable on screen  public partial class TransparentLabelControl   Label       public TransparentLabelControl                 this AutoSize   true          this Visible   false           this ImageAlign   ContentAlignment TopLeft          this Visible   true           this Resize    TransparentLabelControl Resize          this LocationChanged    TransparentLabelControl LocationChanged          this TextChanged    TransparentLabelControl TextChanged          this ParentChanged    TransparentLabelControl ParentChanged              region Events     private void TransparentLabelControl ParentChanged object sender  EventArgs e                SetTransparent            if  this Parent    null                        this Parent ControlAdded    Parent ControlAdded              this Parent ControlRemoved    Parent ControlRemoved                       private void Parent ControlRemoved object sender  ControlEventArgs e                SetTransparent               private void Parent ControlAdded object sender  ControlEventArgs e                if  this Bounds IntersectsWith e Control Bounds                         SetTransparent                         private void TransparentLabelControl TextChanged object sender  EventArgs e                SetTransparent               private void TransparentLabelControl LocationChanged object sender  EventArgs e                 SetTransparent               private void TransparentLabelControl Resize object sender  EventArgs e                SetTransparent               endregion      public void SetTransparent                 if  this Parent   null                        this Visible   false              this Image   this takeComponentScreenShot this Parent               this Visible   true                                       private  Bitmap takeComponentScreenShot Control control                Rectangle rect   control RectangleToScreen this Bounds           if  rect Width    0    rect Height    0                        return null                    Bitmap bmp   new Bitmap rect Width  rect Height  PixelFormat Format32bppArgb           Graphics g   Graphics FromImage bmp            g CopyFromScreen rect Left  rect Top  0  0  bmp Size  CopyPixelOperation SourceCopy            return bmp
