C# Transparent Controls

[ancas]

I made my own button class that can make a button transparent. MyButton inherits Control, of course, so I overridden the OnPaint() method, I put an image on the button then I use the SetColorKey(...). Until here, it's ok. I use MyButton class on a form. I put all the button properties in the form's onstructor after InitializeComponent() method. Well, the transparency property is valid only after I do some action (push) on the button. I don't understand... :sigh: :confused: Anca
