is it possible to set a label's background color to transparant.

I have several labels on a form , the form colour is set in a class and is
a gradiant colour. Im trying to set the label background to 'transparant'

thanks in advance

Yes, you can.  Be warned, it probably won't do what you think. The label
will only be transparent with respect to its parent control (its container).
Not with respect to other controls that might physically be underneath it
just because of the z-order.
