    Transparent Calendar Appointment

    Hi

    I have a calendar control on one of my forms which is populated with appointments, see attached picture (Diary With Standard Appointments).
    As you can see, an appointment will fill all across the day if no other appointment crosses it so, I am trying to make it a little neater by filling it with blank appointments so the appointments run down and making it easier to read, see attached picture (Diary With Blank Appointments)

    My question is, how can I make the blank appointments Transparent so you can see the time grid lines ?

    Thank you.

    I haven't used that control much, but I'd recommend simply trying a colour with the Alpha component set to less than 255, eg:
    Code:
    Dim partlyTransparentRed as Color = Color.FromArgb(100, 255, 0, 0)

    Hi

    I have tried a few different ways with the color options

    Citem2.BackgroundColor = Color.Transparent

    Citem2.ApplyColor(Color.Transparent)

    Citem2.BackgroundColorLighter = Color.Transparent

    With different color variations but Dont get the result I am looking for.

    Thank you.
