A new product called TransparentControls has been released. It is a pack of 3 controls:
- TPictureBox - a transparent PictureBox control
- TCheckBox - a transparent CheckBox control
- TLabel - a transparent Label control
The TPictureBox is able to make use of an alpha channel and thus paint a transparent image. The standard PictureBox does not paint images with transparent pixels correctly. With the TPictureBox you can show the image properly, and you will get what you see on your desktop.
The BackColor of TLabel if set to Transparent, causes the background underneath the TLabel to be visible.
TCheckBox is not only able to paint itself so that its BackColor is transparent, but also custom images can be used as graphical representations of checked and unchecked state. That means your CheckBox is no longer limited to a tick, but can be changed to a cross or any other representation.
