    The following seems to work for the original Rich Text Box, but for some reason not the new one:

    SetWindowLong richtextbox1.hwnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, WS_EX_TRANSPARENT
    It actually works. But, as there is a underlying UserControl under the RichTextBox it will always show the background of the UserControl. Thus it is not visible transparent. But again, the actual RichTextBox is indeed transparent with this.

    I could make a 'Transparent' property for the RichTextBox which would do two things.
    1. Set the WS_EX_TRANSPARENT extended style to the RichtTextBox control.
    2. Make the background of the UserControl a replica of the underlying background to simulate transparency.
