Use

This property only applies to the content placeholder of a master form. The content placeholder object provides a visual representation of the runtime form within a master form.

The Transparent property determines whether the runtime form will be transparent. If set to True, any image or back color set on the master form will become the default background of your runtime form. If set to False (default setting) then the runtime form will be opaque. This is useful if you want to set a background color on your runtime form that is different to the background color of your master form.

Refer to BackColor Inheritance for more information about how the back color of a form is derived.

Settings

The available Transparent property settings are:

Setting	Description
True	The active form is transparent and the master form will "show through" behind it.
False	(Default) The active form is opaque.
