I tried the same and it works. The background color of the custom control did not hide any controls on it. How are you doing it? Can you paste your code or some pseudo-code Suhas

Simply add this lines to th control:

private void UserControl1_Paint(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e)
{
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0,0,this.Size.Width,this.Size.Height);
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(new System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush(rect,m_bkcolor1,m_bkcolor2,m_lineargradientmode),rect);
}

But I after I add these two styles it works correctly,but I think it should be works without these two styles too:

this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint,true);
this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint,true);
