I need a form that can be added to a Panel, whih can have a translparent background. when i set the background colour of widgets such as PictureBox, the alpha value gets treated as 255. what component do i need to use?
 
text boxes are opaque (that is, you can't see through them). they are usually white with some text on top.

panels are also opaque. they don't have any text on top, but come in all sort of colours - sometime with pictures.

there are many other forms i can name that are opaque, but i want one that isn't. i want a form, that can be made to be translucent.
