Is there a component part of std tool box that allows you multiple lines (like rich text box) with transparency support?



Thanks!

Hey Greg; Sorry I was excited to just post that I found it and didn't get to the details!



Based on my previous experience in Win32, I used to use "Memo" field that allowed multiple line with CR/LF and the control respected the transparency. But I couldn't find Memo in .Net. So I resorted to RichEdit, but that one does not support transparency.



So by trail&error I tried good old "Label" which allows you to include CR/LF to have multiple lines and you can set the BackColor to Transparent.

So, I'm still gonna ask silly questions....here's one now:
