If I
1. SmartTag to Chart Editor
2. Chart Control | Settings | TransparentBackground = True
3. Set BackColor = Transparent
This will appear to work as expected where the background is transparent. However when I save the project, exit VS 2008, re-open the project and try to load the form in the VS designer I immediate get an error:
Control does not support Transparent color.
More digging and it seems that I can’t set the Chart background to transparent, even using Background dialog and setting FillEffect = solid color = transparent. Also tried setting Transparency % = 100, stil no go.
Am I missing something or does the Chart 4.2 control have some problem with Transparency??
