Hi Bonnie,
>Yes, but my point is that it works fine when placed in a proper container control ... a Form, a UserControl, a Panel. Just not for a PictureBox>>>
PictureBox (as a Control) should support visual containment:
Label lt = new Label();
lt.Text = "Hello World";
lt.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent;
lt.Location = new Point(100, 100); // or whatever
PictureBox.Controls.Add(lt);
Regards,
Viv
