I'm running PB2017. I've created a window which has a picture control and transparent background text control. All is fine when I place the text control over anywhere on the window, including on picture controls, the background remains transparent. But I want to place it over a Windows Media Player control (found in the OLE controls). When I do that, the text control background shows as gray and the transparent background is ignored. Any ideas?

You must put property BackColor to transparent, i test with single line edit and work it

I had already set the static text control to transparent background. While it appears to look right while in PB painter (like your screenshot), when you run the app and the video starts to play, the text background becomes gray and transparent background is ignored. 



Any other ideas?
