[RESOLVED] usercontrol text when masking/backstyle = transparent

i am trying to mask an icon image (which i can do) and then under that image will be a label (on usercontrol) but when i mask and set it transparent it hide the label caption (label.backstyle = transparent)

Code:

---

UserControl.PaintPicture LoadPicture("Icon.ico"), 240, 0, 495, 495

UserControl.BackColor = &HFFFFC0
UserControl.MaskColor = &HFFFFC0
UserControl.MaskPicture = UserControl.Image
UserControl.BackStyle = 0

---

i want to mask the picture so you do not see the usercontrol background on my form1 but also would like to see whats in my usercontrol.label1.caption is that possible?

Edit:
i put the label's backstyle to opaque and i see it now but it has a backcolor which is not transparent... i want it to be transparent but not the text in it

Anyone any ideas how to make this happen

figured it out thanks
